Before your first appointment, gather any previous medical records, including lab results and documentation of prior weight loss attempts. Consider keeping a food diary for a few days to help our team understand your current eating patterns and identify areas for improvement.

During treatment, success depends largely on following your personalized plan consistently and attending all scheduled appointments. Be honest with our team about any challenges you're experiencing, whether related to medication side effects, dietary difficulties, or emotional struggles. We're here to help you navigate these obstacles and adjust your plan as needed. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, and celebrating small victories along the way helps maintain motivation.
