What should I expect during medical weight loss?

During an initial medical weight loss consultation, your provider weighs you and evaluates your body mass index (BMI). They assess your pulse and blood pressure. Your weight loss specialist also discusses your medical history, lifestyle habits, medications, and usual dietary intake.

They complete a physical exam and order blood testing or additional diagnostic tests if necessary before customizing a medical weight loss plan. Your provider checks your hormones to screen for imbalances that contribute to hunger and weight gain. 

Your specialist assists you in developing ideal diet and exercise habits. They help you properly manage any chronic diseases and may prescribe medications that reduce appetite or speed up your metabolism. Hormone balancing is another method that may improve your ability to lose weight. 

The Physicians Creek Medical Center team follows up with you in person, virtually, or during house calls to ensure your weight loss journey remains successful.
