Medical Weight Loss
It is no secret that excess weight creates a number of health risks. These include but are not limited to osteoarthritis, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, psychological issues, and cancer. Even though surgical weight loss has a proven track record, not everyone is eager to subject themselves to an operation. Medical weight loss is the process of losing weight under a close supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, who creates a personalized weight loss plan. Our providers are dedicated to serve you and make your path to your goal weight and a healthier lifestyle as seamless as possible. The process itself consists of an initial evaluation followed by behavioral modification strategies with or without medications.
During initial evaluation, your doctor will obtain a detailed medical history and perform a physical exam. He or she will then learn more about your lifestyle and goals for weight loss in order to establish a consistent plan that fits your daily routine and helps you achieve desirable results. Laboratory results are routinely monitored throughout out the process.
Behavioral changes play a vital role in successful weight loss. Based on your unique circumstances, our expert will recommend a list of activities and dietary changes that are the most likely to help you achieve optimal results. Maintaining healthy eating habits and routine exercise are key to losing excess weight and establishing a healthy lifestyle.
FDA approved weight loss medications can be an effective adjunct to lifestyle modifications. As such, these medications are chosen based on their efficacy, side effect profile, interaction with other medications, and patient preference.
Whether you choose surgical or medical weight loss, we are here to guide you through your weight loss journey on the way to a healthier and more productive lifestyle.
