What to Expect

Your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation including detailed health history, physical examination, and laboratory testing. We assess your metabolic health, identify any underlying conditions, and discuss your weight loss goals and previous attempts. Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment may include prescription medications, structured nutrition plans, and regular medical monitoring. Follow-up appointments track your progress, adjust medications as needed, and address any challenges you're experiencing. We emphasize gradual, sustainable weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week. Most patients see meaningful results within the first month, with significant health improvements occurring as weight loss progresses over 6-12 months.

Why Choose Elite Health Colorado

Our medical approach to weight loss sets us apart from commercial diet programs and fitness centers. As a medical clinic, we can prescribe medications, monitor health conditions, and provide the level of supervision necessary for safe, effective weight loss. Our programs are based on scientific evidence rather than trendy approaches that lack medical support.

We take insurance for many services, making medical weight loss more accessible than many realize. Our medical team understands the complex factors that contribute to obesity and weight gain, including genetics, hormones, medications, and medical conditions. We provide realistic expectations and sustainable solutions rather than promising unrealistic rapid results. Most importantly, we focus on improving overall health, not just achieving a number on the scale.

Insurance & Pricing

Many of our medical weight loss services are covered by insurance plans, particularly when weight loss is medically necessary for health conditions like diabetes or hypertension. We accept most major insurance carriers and will verify your coverage before beginning treatment. Some medications and specialized services may require co-pays or be partially covered. We provide transparent pricing for any self-pay services and offer payment plans when needed.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather information about your medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. Your doctor may request recent lab work or medical records from other providers. Come prepared to discuss your eating patterns, activity levels, and specific health concerns or goals.

Bring a list of questions about treatments, potential side effects, and what to expect throughout the program. During treatment, follow all medical instructions carefully and attend all scheduled appointments. Report any side effects or concerns promptly. Keep track of your weight, measurements, and how you're feeling overall. Remember that medical weight loss is a process that requires patience and commitment to achieve lasting results.
