Frequently Asked Questions

Are the weight loss medications safe?

When prescribed and monitored by qualified physicians, these medications have strong safety profiles supported by extensive clinical research. We screen patients carefully for contraindications and monitor you throughout treatment.

How quickly will I see results?

Most patients see initial changes within 2-4 weeks, with more significant weight loss typically occurring over 3-6 months. Results vary based on your starting point, medication type, and commitment to lifestyle changes.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We transition you to a maintenance phase where treatment frequency may decrease but your progress is still monitored. Many patients continue some form of medication or counseling to prevent weight regain.

Do I need to follow a specific diet?

We don't believe in restrictive diets. Instead, our nutritionists help you learn to make healthier choices within foods you enjoy, making changes sustainable long-term.

Can I do this if I have other health conditions?

Many people with diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions benefit from our programs. We modify treatment based on your specific health profile and work with your other physicians if needed.

Will my insurance cover this?

Coverage varies by plan and state regulations. Our staff verifies your benefits before starting and explores all options to maximize your coverage.

What if I want to stop treatment?

You can discontinue at any time. We'll discuss the best way to taper medications safely and provide maintenance strategies to help preserve your progress.

How often do I need to come in?

Initial phase typically requires weekly or bi-weekly visits for monitoring and adjustments. This decreases to monthly visits as you stabilize, then transitions to quarterly maintenance appointments.
