What to Expect

Your journey starts with a comprehensive medical consultation where we review your complete medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals. We conduct thorough physical examinations and order necessary lab work to identify any underlying health issues affecting your weight.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly to monitor your progress and adjust treatments as needed.

Why Choose LiveWellMD Weight Loss in San Diego, CA

As a physician-led practice, we bring medical expertise that sets us apart from commercial weight loss programs. Our doctors stay current with the latest research in obesity medicine and metabolic health. We can safely prescribe and monitor weight loss medications that aren't available through non-medical programs, giving our patients additional tools for success.

Our comprehensive approach addresses not just weight loss but overall health improvement. Many patients see improvements in diabetes, high blood pressure, and other conditions alongside their weight loss. We accept many insurance plans and work with patients to make our services affordable. Our track record of success, combined with the safety and effectiveness of medical supervision, makes us the preferred choice for serious weight loss efforts.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare for medically necessary weight loss treatment. Coverage typically applies when you have obesity-related health conditions or a BMI over 30. Our billing specialists will verify your benefits and explain coverage details before you begin treatment.

For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment plans. Initial consultations range from $200-300, with follow-up visits at $100-150. Medication costs vary but we work with patients to find affordable options including generic alternatives when available. Package deals for multiple visits can provide significant savings for committed patients.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, gather your complete medical records, current medication list, and any recent lab results. Write down your weight loss history including previous attempts, what worked, and what didn't. Consider your goals carefully - we'll discuss realistic expectations and timelines during your consultation.

Success requires commitment to the entire program, not just taking medication. Attend all scheduled appointments, follow medication instructions precisely, and communicate any side effects or concerns immediately. Keep a food diary and activity log as requested. Remember that medical weight loss is a journey, not a quick fix. Stay patient with the process and trust in our medical expertise to guide you safely toward your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What prescription weight loss medications do you offer?

We prescribe FDA-approved medications including phentermine, GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic and Mounjaro, and combination therapies. The choice depends on your medical history and specific needs.

How is medical weight loss different from commercial programs?

Medical weight loss involves physician supervision, prescription medications, and treatment of underlying health conditions. We can address medical factors that commercial programs can't touch.

Will insurance cover my weight loss treatment?

Many insurance plans cover medically necessary weight loss treatment for patients with obesity-related conditions or BMI over 30. We'll verify your specific benefits.

Are there any side effects from weight loss medications?

All medications can have side effects, which is why medical supervision is crucial. We monitor you closely and adjust treatments to minimize any issues.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary by individual, but patients typically lose 10-15% of their body weight in the first year with medical supervision. Some lose significantly more.

Do I need to follow a specific diet program?

We provide nutritional guidance tailored to your preferences and medical needs rather than rigid diet plans. Flexibility increases long-term success.

How often will I need to visit the clinic?

Initially, visits are every 2-4 weeks for monitoring and adjustments. As you progress and stabilize, visits become less frequent.

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

Absolutely. Medical supervision can identify and address underlying factors that may have caused previous attempts to fail. Many of our most successful patients had struggled before.
