Weight Loss FAQs
-
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a comrehensive, physician-supervised approach to losing weight that involves a tailored plan combining diet, exercise, behavior modification, and sometimes medication, focusing on achieving long-term weight management and improving overall health. -
How is this different than Weight Watchers or other commercial weight loss programs?
Medical weight loss is supervised by healthcare professionals and it offers a personalized approach, focusing on the individual's health statis and medical history to tailor diet, exercise, and behavior modification plans. Unlike commercial programs like Weight Watchers, which emphasize general nutrition and community support, medical weight loss may include prescription medications to address obesity-related conditions. This approach not only aims at weight loss but also improves overall health in a safe and medically proven way. -
How much will this cost me?
Because the excess weight has such a dramatic effect on your overall health, insurance will usually cover these visits like a regular office visit. -
How often do I have to come in?
Unlike some weight loss programs that require you to come in every week, we only require monthly visits. You are more than welcome to visit more often if that is helpful for keeping you on track. You can also stop in any time for a weight in with one of our nurses.
