Frequently Asked Questions

What makes medically supervised weight loss different from doing it on my own?

Medical supervision provides safety monitoring, access to prescription medications when appropriate, and professional guidance to address any health conditions that may affect your weight loss. We can also identify and treat underlying factors that may have prevented previous success.

Will I need to take weight loss medications?

Not necessarily. Medications are prescribed only when appropriate based on your medical evaluation, weight loss goals, and individual needs. Many patients succeed with nutritional guidance and lifestyle changes alone.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies based on individual factors, but most patients lose 1-2 pounds per week with our medically supervised programs. We focus on sustainable weight loss that can be maintained long-term rather than rapid weight loss.

Does insurance cover weight loss treatments?

Many insurance plans cover medical weight loss consultations and monitoring when medically necessary. We'll verify your benefits and let you know what's covered under your specific plan before starting treatment.

What if I've tried to lose weight many times before without success?

Previous failures don't predict future success, especially with medical supervision. We'll review what hasn't worked before and create a different approach that addresses the specific challenges that prevented your success.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, we typically see patients every 2-4 weeks to monitor progress and adjust plans as needed. As you become more successful and stable, appointments may be less frequent.

Can you help if I have other health conditions like diabetes?

Yes, we specialize in managing weight loss for patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health conditions. Medical supervision allows us to coordinate your weight loss plan with your other treatments safely.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We provide ongoing support and strategies for maintaining your weight loss long-term. This includes transitioning to maintenance plans and periodic check-ins to help prevent weight regain.
