Lab frequency depends on your specific medications and health conditions. Typically, initial labs are followed by periodic monitoring every 3-6 months or as clinically indicated.

Can you help if I've failed other weight loss programs?

Yes, we evaluate why previous attempts may have failed and identify medical factors that might have been overlooked. Our medical approach may be more effective for certain individuals than diet-only programs.
