Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need to take medication?

Not necessarily. Our physicians assess whether medication is appropriate for your situation. Many patients achieve great results through diet, exercise, and behavioral changes alone. Medication is one tool we use when medically indicated.

What if I have other health conditions?

That's exactly what we specialize in. Our physicians have expertise managing weight loss in patients with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and other conditions. We carefully consider your health situation and any medication interactions.

Why do I need bloodwork?

Lab work reveals important information like your thyroid function, blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormone levels. Many conditions quietly contribute to weight gain, and identifying them helps us create a more effective plan.

How long do results take?

Most patients notice changes within 4-8 weeks when they're consistent with their plan. Results vary based on your starting point, genetics, and how closely you follow your personalized plan.

Will the weight stay off?

Weight loss medications and medical supervision help you lose weight, but maintaining results requires continuing the lifestyle changes we develop. We focus on teaching you habits and knowledge for long-term success.

How often will I see the doctor?

Initial consultations involve a comprehensive evaluation. Follow-ups are typically monthly during active weight loss, then spaced out as you stabilize. We adjust frequency based on your progress and needs.

Can you work with my primary care doctor?

Absolutely. We love collaborating with your primary care physician. With your permission, we'll communicate about your progress and any relevant medical information.

What happens if I hit a plateau?

Plateaus are normal and not failure. We'll adjust your plan, potentially changing medications, modifying your diet, or investigating if underlying issues need attention. We problem-solve together.
