Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral from my doctor to start your program?

No referral is necessary, though we encourage you to inform your primary care physician about your weight loss plans. We'll coordinate with your existing healthcare team as needed.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies by individual, but most patients lose 1-3 pounds per week initially, with 5-10% of body weight being a realistic first goal. We focus on sustainable progress rather than rapid results.

Do you prescribe appetite suppressants?

Yes, we can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when medically appropriate. We carefully evaluate each patient's health status and monitor for safety and effectiveness throughout treatment.

What if I have diabetes or other health conditions?

We specialize in helping patients with obesity-related health conditions lose weight safely. We'll work closely with your other healthcare providers to coordinate care and monitor your health throughout treatment.

How long will I need to take weight loss medications?

The duration varies by individual and medication type. Some patients use medications short-term while developing new habits, while others benefit from longer-term use. We'll work together to determine what's best for you.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We provide comprehensive maintenance planning to help you keep the weight off long-term. This includes ongoing check-ins, continued education, and strategies for managing weight regain if it occurs.

Do you offer exercise programs or gym memberships?

While we don't operate a gym, we provide exercise guidance and can refer you to local fitness resources. Our focus is on medical management while supporting your overall lifestyle changes.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, we recommend visits every 2-4 weeks for monitoring and support. As you progress and stabilize, appointments may be spaced further apart based on your individual needs and progress.
