Which medical weight loss program is right for me?

When meeting with a Care Now Medical Group weight loss provider, they discuss your body mass index (BMI), target weight, medical history, medications, symptoms, and health goals.

Your specialist also checks your vital signs, completes a physical exam, and may order blood tests or other lab work to screen for disease risk factors, hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, and other concerns that might impact weight loss. 

What can I expect during medical weight loss?

Your medical weight loss program may consist of:

Numerous medications are available for weight loss. You might use a weekly injection or take a pill to reduce your appetite and keep your blood sugar steady.
