FAQ.

Do I qualify for a medical weight loss program?

Any person with a BMI over 30 is a candidate for medically guided weight loss programs. This is in addition to some patients with lower BMIs who have other medical conditions caused or worsened by increased weight; for example diabetes.
How do I calculate my BMI?

Your BMI is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters.
What should I expect on my first visit?

Prior to your visit you will fill our initial visit form available on our webiste. Our doctor will review your medical and weight history with you and try to understand the obstacles that have been making it difficult for you to lose weight. This will help us formulate a plan that usually includes diet, exercise and often a medication to help you overcome those obstacles. If professional behavioral intervention is needed then a medication and/or referal will be provided. You will also have a body composition analysis on your initial visit. This will help monitor and understand your progress during your weight loss journey.
How long will the program last?

This will depend on many factors and varies significantly between patients. But it is important to understand that we now consider obesity a chronic medical condition and we treat it as such, often using medications not only for losing weight but also for keeping the weight off.
