Frequently Asked Questions

Are weight loss medications safe?

FDA-approved weight loss medications are safe when prescribed by physicians for appropriate patients. We carefully evaluate your health history and monitor you throughout treatment. Any side effects are typically mild and temporary.

Will weight come back after I stop the program?

The skills and habits you build during treatment help prevent regain, but ongoing support increases success. We offer maintenance programs to help you keep the weight off long-term. Think of it like managing any chronic condition.

Do you work with insurance?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before you start. Some plans cover medications, some cover visits, and some cover both. We can discuss what your plan includes.

How quickly will I see results?

Most patients notice changes within 2-4 weeks of starting medication. Initial weight loss is usually 1-2 pounds per week, though this varies individually. Significant transformations typically take 3-6 months.

Can I do this program if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?

Absolutely. We actually specialize in treating patients with these conditions since weight loss often improves them significantly. We coordinate with your other doctors and monitor how your medications may need adjusting.

What if I travel for work?

Our telehealth option is perfect for patients who travel. You can have video visits from anywhere and stay on track with your program even when you're away from Baltimore.

Is this just another diet plan?

No, it's medical treatment. We combine medication, behavior change, and nutritional science to help your body lose weight more easily. It addresses the actual biology of why people gain weight, not just telling you to eat less.

How often do I need appointments?

Weekly visits are standard while you're losing weight actively. Once stable, most patients drop to every other week or monthly appointments. We adjust frequency based on your needs and progress.
