Roberts, M.D. is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians and is highly trained in the treatment of obesity and weight related disorders. During his early years in private practice, Dr. Roberts recognized the need for establishing a bariatric clinic to work directly with St. Peterburg's weight loss patients. As he looked for better solutions for how his patients could take and keep the pounds off, he recognized a growing need for including weight loss education and medical assistance to ensure a successful weight loss program. The WeightSmart MD clinic opened to help patients in St. Pete and the Gulf Beaches with their fight to shed unwanted pounds. Call today and let our weight loss doctor create a weight loss plan personalized for you.
Dr. Roberts and his bariatric-trained staff will work with you to establish the right weight loss and weight management program that fits your lighter "way of life". We can help you live SMART and make SMART decisions regarding your health, fitness and diet. If you have joined other weight loss programs and failed to keep the pounds off, visit our St. Pete weight loss clinic and find out for yourself how our patients have reached their weight loss goals and continue to successfully manage their weight. At WeightSmart MD, we understand the "way of life" changes that are necessary for maintaining weight loss.

Support
|
You are about to embark on a new way of life. You need the support of everyone around you who has any influence on your decisions and way of life. Dr. Roberts and his staff will always be here for you if you need support. But make sure those close to you and especially those living with you understand your goals and your program. It is human nature to be resistant to change. So fall back on your support and ask them to help motivate you when you might need it in a moment of weakness. People who share their goals with others are statistically shown to be more successful in achieving those goals. |
Move!
|
Our bodies need exercise to stay healthy. It is impossible to achieve long- lasting weight loss or a healthy way of life without a regular exercise routine. Adding exercise to your life will increase your metabolism, helping you burn more calories. Strength training will increase muscle mass. This means that you not only burn calories when you are exercising, but enjoy a higher rate of calories burned per hour while at rest! In the beginning, take it slow to avoid injury. |
Actions
|
You have taken the most difficult step in your weight loss program by coming in for your Initial Visit. Every day, continue to act the part of a healthier and lighter you. Stick to the program, take your medication, add exercise to your daily routine, clean your pantry out to help stay clear of temptations and come in for your weekly visit. |
Rx
|
Dr. Roberts will prescribe a variety of items depending on your goals and medical history. These prescriptions may include but may not be limited to an exercise plan, a daily diet (food intake) plan, vitamin supplements, FDA approved appetite suppressants and metabolism- boosting injections. As you lose weight your body will change and therefore require updates to your prescription(s). Therefore, you will need to return to the office on a regular basis for monitoring and updates. |
Time
|
It took time to put the weight on, and will take time to take it off.
More importantly, as time goes by, you will enter the maintenance portion of your program. It will be very important to periodically and regularly remind yourself of your weight loss journey. Based on your way of life and medical history, Dr. Roberts and his staff will help you develop a maintenance program that will include self- evaluations to ensure you are not sliding back to your old, unhealthy way of life, and maintaining your exercise, nutrition plan, and any prescriptions you may be continuing.
