Frequently Asked Questions

Will the weight loss medications work for me?

Most patients see positive results with the right medication matched to their physiology, but individual results vary. We use metabolic testing to predict which medications will likely work best for you before starting treatment. Your medical history and other medications can affect compatibility.

What if I've tried dieting before without success?

Many patients have failed diets in their past. Our approach addresses the medical reasons why some people struggle with weight loss, like hormonal imbalances or metabolic disorders. We focus on sustainable changes rather than restrictive diets.

Is bariatric surgery painful?

Modern minimally invasive techniques mean most patients experience minimal pain, managed with prescribed medications. Recovery time varies by procedure, but many people return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans, though coverage varies by plan and specific services. Contact our billing team with your insurance information, and we'll verify coverage before your visit.

How often will I need to visit the clinic?

Initial treatment usually requires visits every 2-4 weeks for medication adjustments and monitoring. Once stable, visits can be spaced to every 2-3 months. This frequency may change based on your specific treatment plan.

What should I eat while on weight loss medications?

Our nutritionists create personalized meal plans that work with your medications. There's no single diet for everyone. We help you find balanced, sustainable eating patterns that fit your lifestyle and preferences.

Are there side effects to weight loss medications?

Most medications have minimal side effects, but some people experience nausea, headaches, or sleep changes initially. We start with low doses and adjust gradually. Tell us about any side effects so we can address them or try different medications.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We transition to maintenance care with less frequent visits. Many patients benefit from continued medication support to prevent regain. We help you develop sustainable habits to maintain your success long-term.
