Our Memphis clinic specializes in helping busy professionals and families achieve their weight loss goals without turning their world upside down.
Founded on the principle that weight loss should be accessible and achievable for everyone, we've stripped away the unnecessary complexity that often derails people's efforts.

Services Offered
At The Waist Bar, we offer targeted weight loss services designed for maximum effectiveness with minimal disruption to your life. Our signature program combines medically supervised weight loss with appetite suppressants and metabolism boosters for qualifying patients. We provide comprehensive body composition analysis to track your progress beyond just the scale, measuring muscle mass, body fat percentage, and metabolic rate changes over time. Our nutritional guidance focuses on simple, sustainable changes rather than restrictive diets that are impossible to maintain. We also offer accountability coaching with regular check-ins to keep you on track when motivation wavers. For clients who've reached their weight loss goals, we provide maintenance support to prevent regain. Our approach is streamlined and efficient - we focus on the interventions that provide the biggest impact on your results. Every service is designed to support busy lifestyles while delivering the medical supervision necessary for safe, effective weight loss.

What to Expect
Getting started at The Waist Bar is simple and straightforward. Your initial appointment includes a health assessment, body composition analysis, and discussion of your weight loss history and goals. We'll determine if you're a candidate for prescription weight loss medications and create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences.
Once you begin the program, you'll have regular check-ins every 2-4 weeks to monitor progress, adjust medications if needed, and address any challenges you're facing. We track your results using multiple metrics, not just the scale, so you can see the full picture of your transformation. Our team provides ongoing support through phone consultations and quick check-ins when you need extra guidance or motivation.

Instead, you get proven medical weight loss methods, practical nutritional guidance, and the accountability you need to succeed. Our clients appreciate our no-nonsense approach and the fact that appointments are efficient and respect their time.
We've helped hundreds of people lose weight and keep it off by focusing on sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. Our success rate is high because we don't overcomplicate things - we give you the tools that work and the support to use them consistently. Plus, our pricing is transparent and competitive, making medical weight loss accessible to more people who can benefit from professional guidance.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans, and many patients find that their consultations and some treatments are covered under medical benefits. Initial consultations typically cost $150-200, with follow-up visits ranging from $75-125. Prescription medications vary in cost based on your insurance coverage and the specific treatment prescribed. We offer package pricing for our programs that can provide significant savings compared to paying per visit. Payment plans are available, and we accept HSA/FSA cards. We'll verify your insurance benefits before your first appointment and provide clear pricing information upfront.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success at The Waist Bar requires showing up to your appointments and following the program as prescribed. We recommend being honest about your eating habits, previous diet attempts, and any challenges you're facing - this helps us customize your approach for better results. Bring a list of current medications and any medical conditions to your first appointment.
During the program, consistency is key. Take medications as directed, follow nutritional guidelines, and attend all scheduled check-ins. Many clients find it helpful to weigh themselves at the same time each day and track their food intake, at least initially. Don't get discouraged by temporary plateaus - weight loss isn't always linear, and we'll help you navigate any stalls. Remember that this is about building sustainable habits, not just losing weight quickly.
