Medical Weight Management Program: A Two-Step Process

Our medically supervised weight-loss treatment program consists of changes in diet, physical activity levels and behavioral therapy. Treatment involves a two-step process of assessment and management. Assessment includes determining a patient’s degree of obesity and overall health status. Management involves weight-loss maintenance of body weight and measure to control other risk factors.

What to Expect during Your First Visit
• Patient will be asked to fill out some forms including medical history questionnaire.
• Physicians perform an initial patient work-up to determine treatment based on each patient’s
history, physical examination. Co-morbidities are assessed and physicians determine if patients are ready and motivated to lose weight.
• Dietary status, weight history and history of mental status are recorded.
• Height, weight and waist circumference measurements are recorded. These measurements
help determine body mass index. Additional exams of the head, neck, thyroid, heart, lungs,
abdomen and extremities may be performed.
• Blood pressure, BMI, body fat percentage will be measured and recorded.
• Laboratory testing may be ordered depending on every patient.
• Physicians provide counseling and follow-up on proper eating habits, exercise, behavior
modification and other aspects of weight-loss. Your physician will recommend a diet and set
physical activity goals which must be recorded regularly throughout the duration of treatment.
• Physicians will review the potential benefits and risks of any medications that may be used
during treatment such as the appetite suppressant.
• We offer two injections, B12 and the fat burner. These are non pharmaceutical. They help to
increase the metabolism, boost the energy and expedite the process of burning fat in the liver.
• Patient will be monitored closely on a weekly basis.
• Our program averages about 2 pounds per week and about 8-12 pounds per month. We have
been very successful and have had some patients lose up to 20 pounds in a month; however,
result varies from person to person.
