At First Choice Family Medicine, we understand that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is about more than just numbers on a scale – it’s about improving your overall health and quality of life. Our medical weight loss program is designed to provide comprehensive support and guidance to help you reach your weight loss goals safely and effectively.

Our Approach to Medical Weight Loss

Our medical weight loss program takes a personalized, evidence-based approach to help you achieve sustainable results. We believe in addressing the underlying factors contributing to weight gain and developing a customized plan that fits your unique needs, lifestyle, and health goals. Our program combines medical expertise, lifestyle modifications, medication management, and ongoing support to empower you on your weight loss journey.

Program Highlights

• Initial Consultation and Evaluation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced providers. During this visit, we’ll discuss your medical history, lifestyle habits, weight loss goals, and any underlying health conditions. We may also perform laboratory tests to assess your overall health and identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to your weight.
• Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your consultation and evaluation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. This plan may include dietary recommendations, exercise guidelines, behavior modification strategies, and, if appropriate, medication to help suppress appetite, boost metabolism, or manage underlying medical conditions.
• Lifestyle Changes and Behavioral Support: Sustainable weight loss requires more than just a temporary diet – it requires lasting lifestyle changes. Our program emphasizes education, counseling, and support to help you make healthier choices and develop habits that promote long-term success. We’ll work with you to identify triggers, set realistic goals, and implement strategies to overcome obstacles and maintain your progress.
• Medication Management: In some cases, medication may be recommended as part of your weight loss plan to help support your efforts and improve outcomes. Our providers will carefully evaluate your medical history and individual needs to determine if prescription medications are appropriate for you. We’ll monitor your response to medication closely and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.
• Regular Follow-Up Visits: Your progress is important to us, which is why we’ll schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your weight loss journey, track your progress, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. These visits provide an opportunity for ongoing support, encouragement, and accountability to help you stay motivated and on track towards your goals.
