The medications used for weight loss are controlled substances, it is not recommended that they be used continuously for long periods of time. Phentermine will be given for 8 weeks at a time, it is then necessary for you to have at least 8 weeks off, without the medication. Prescriptions for weight loss medication will not be filled over the phone, you must be seen by our medical provider in order to receive a prescription.
It is recommended that you have an annual examination done by a healthcare provider within the last 12 months, prior to participating in our weight management program.
INITIAL CONSULT: At this visit you will be weighed in, we will calculate your BMI, your metabolic rate and your body fat percentage. You will then have a consultation with the provider to go over your health history, dietary habits and level of exercise. We will formulate an appropriate calorie intake, nutrition plan and exercise regimen in order for you to achieve optimal results. You will be provided with a prescription for an appetite suppressant, based upon your health history. You will be given a B12 injection to help increase your energy level. If you are interested in a gym membership we have negotiated short term contract with Desert Palms for the 8 weeks of the program. Information on this and applications can be provided at your request. You may also be given a lab requisition at this visit to have screening lab work done if necessary. Lab work done is an additional cost to you and is not part of the weight management cost.

8 WEEK FOLLOW UP: This visit will include a weigh in; we will recalculate your BMI, metabolic rate, body fat percentage and discuss your progress. Remember that good habits can be formed as quickly as 30 days with consistency and repetition. However, sometimes habits take longer to change. Our goal is for you to develop good eating habits and a manageable exercise routine. As you continue to make healthy food choices and exercise your body will continue to lose fat and weight and build muscle. Together we will evaluate your progress as we continue with your weight loss program or simply work to maintain your weight for long term success. My desire is to help you succeed, give you the support needed for a healthier lifestyle and meet the desired weight goals you have set!
