Frequently Asked Questions
What is a medical weight loss program?
Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised weight reduction program that focuses on the proactive management of your diet, physical fitness, and overall behaviors regarding daily activities and eating habits.
Medical weight loss programs are patient specific: these are not so-called “cookie cutter”, “one-size-fits-all” weight loss plans. This is a wholesale weight loss program where one of our attending physicians will guide you through necessary dieting, exercise, and lifestyle changes to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Every single person’s body is different and thus we work on getting an understanding of your body and your daily life to craft a program that our physician team believes will be successful for you.
How is a medical weight loss program different from typical dieting and exercise?
A key difference is that under a medical weight loss program, you are under the supervision of a physician. This program is not just limited to being a diet and exercise program; we will include prescription-based appetite suppressant medication and lipotropic injections as part of the program.
A typical diet and exercise plan is mostly self-managed. While there is nothing exactly wrong with a self-managed weight loss plan, a medically supervised weight loss program has been proven much more effective and successful to achieve weight loss.
How do I know if I am a candidate for a medical weight loss program?
We conduct a comprehensive evaluation which includes blood testing and an analysis of your current weight, eating habits, and lifestyle. After we gain an understanding of your weight loss needs and your current health status, we move on to develop a program that is specific to you.
