For women who have repeatedly tried to lose weight on their own but continue to struggle with excessive weight and related health problems, Kapi'olani Weight Loss Solutions offers a personalized, comprehensive approach that can provide the freedom to live your life to its fullest.

The Kapi'olani Women's Center was designed by women for women and supports you in taking charge of your health. We recognize that obesity is a complex disease that requires a comprehensive approach. Our experienced  team has developed a program to address all aspects of weight loss for lifelong success and freedom from life threatening illnesses. The key is keeping the weight off. Many obese women have lost hundreds of pounds over the course of their lives, but gain it back. It takes a comprehensive, personalized approach to succeed. And it takes a firm commitment to truly change your life.

Medical Weight Loss Program

For some patients, surgery may not be an option or may not be desired. Kapi'olani's medical weight loss program is led by Dr. Stephen Bradley, who is the only board certified bariatrics physician in the state. His diverse background, which includes graduation from the California Culinary Institute with an emphasis on Nutrition & Healthy Food Preparation, has assisted him in developing a truly unique and comprehensive approach to weight loss.

Dr. Bradley uses a four-pronged approach to help women make permanent lifestyle changes:

  • Dietary/Nutrition Therapy to assist with daily intake and control
  • Fitness Training
  • Behavior Modification
  • Medical Therapy - FDA approved prescription medication when indicated

Given that obesity is a chronic disease requiring management for life, the goal of our medical weight loss program is to provide patients with the tools to change their lifestyle progressively, thereby creating a permanent change.

Dr. Bradley works with each patient individually to develop a personalized plan. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled over a six-month period to focus on making permanent lifestyle changes. Maintenance visits may be scheduled thereafter if needed.
