What to Expect
Your journey starts with a comprehensive health assessment that includes medical history review, physical examination, and laboratory testing to identify any underlying conditions affecting your weight. We'll discuss your weight loss goals, previous attempts, and current medications. Based on this information, our nurse practitioner and nutritionist collaborate to create your personalized treatment plan.
Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially to monitor progress and adjust treatments as needed. Each visit includes weight and body composition measurements, review of food logs, discussion of challenges, and medication adjustments if applicable. Our nutritionist provides ongoing education and meal planning support, while our nurse practitioner monitors your medical progress. As you approach your goal weight, we transition to a maintenance program with less frequent visits but continued support to prevent weight regain.
Why Choose Renew Health And Wellness
Our medical approach to weight loss sets us apart from commercial diet programs and gyms. Having nurse practitioners on staff means we can prescribe and monitor weight loss medications safely, something that non-medical weight loss centers cannot offer. Our nutritionists are registered professionals who understand the science behind nutrition and can create meal plans that work with your medical conditions and lifestyle.
We take a realistic approach to weight loss, focusing on gradual, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. Our patients appreciate having medical oversight throughout their journey, especially those with health conditions that make dieting risky without supervision. We coordinate with your other healthcare providers to ensure your weight loss plan complements your overall medical care. Our success rates are higher because we address both the medical and behavioral aspects of weight management with ongoing professional support.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans for medical weight loss services, including visits with our nurse practitioner and medically necessary laboratory work. Insurance coverage varies by plan, but many cover obesity treatment when medically indicated. Nutritionist services may be covered if you have a diabetes or other metabolic condition diagnosis. Weight loss medications require separate insurance approval, which we help facilitate. Our initial consultation is $200, with follow-up visits ranging from $75-$125 depending on services provided. Nutrition counseling sessions are $100 each. We offer payment plans for patients whose insurance doesn't cover all services, and we accept HSA/FSA payments. We're happy to provide documentation for insurance claims and work with you to maximize your coverage benefits.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first visit, gather information about your medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. Bring any recent lab results and a list of questions about your health goals. We recommend starting a food diary a few days before your appointment to help us understand your current eating patterns. Make sure to continue any current medications unless specifically told otherwise by your doctor.
During treatment, follow medication instructions exactly as prescribed and report any side effects immediately. Keep detailed food logs and attend all scheduled appointments for monitoring. Be honest about challenges you're facing, as we can only help if we know what's not working. Stay hydrated, get adequate sleep, and gradually increase physical activity as approved by our team. Remember that medically-supervised weight loss is a process that requires patience and consistency, but the results are more likely to be lasting when done correctly.
