First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, gather information about your medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. Be prepared to discuss your health goals and any symptoms you've been experiencing. We recommend bringing a list of questions about the medical weight loss process and potential treatment options.
During treatment, it's important to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for medication adjustments and progress monitoring. Be honest about any side effects or challenges you're experiencing with the program. Follow all medical instructions carefully, especially regarding prescription medications.
