Weight management is about more than a number on a scale. Our programs focus on sustainable habits, health risks, individual goals and medical factors that may affect weight.
Very-low-calorie diets and prescription treatment require medical supervision and are not appropriate for everyone.
A weight-management visit may include review of your health history, current medications, prior weight-loss efforts, nutrition patterns, activity level, and goals. The purpose is to identify factors that may be making weight management more difficult and to discuss options that are appropriate for your individual health situation.
When medication is considered, the clinical decision depends on medical history, current conditions, possible side effects, interactions, and whether the treatment is appropriate for your goals. Medication is not the right choice for every patient, and no specific amount of weight loss can be guaranteed.
Bring a current medication list and be ready to discuss recent changes in weight, appetite, activity, sleep, and any health conditions that may affect your plan. If you have recent laboratory results or records related to weight-management treatment, having them available can help with the evaluation.
