Scam. Required to pay a $50 fee to schedule the appointment, which is supposed to be refunded if you don't sign up. Pre-appointment, I was instructed not to eat, drink, exercise or take medication 4 hours before the appointment. Upon arrival the receptionist gave me consent forms to sign, one of which was that the doctor had explained everything to me about the medications (which he hadn't, because I hadn't seen a doctor yet), and one requesting my social security # (which I didn't provide). There was no reason for the pre-requirement because you're not seeing a doctor. Once I completed the forms, the receptionist escorted me into a room where she switched hats to discuss the program. All she did was tell me the available packages, which started at $350/mo and required a 6 month commitment. She literally just read the same menu I read on the website and asked me which one I wanted to sign up for. I explained that I wouldn't be able to make a decision until I spoke with the doctor. She then told me "WELL YOU WON'T SEE A DOCTOR UNTIL YOU SIGN UP FOR A PROGRAM." 😳 How would anyone sign up to take medications without speaking to a doctor to know what those programs do and any possible risks? Especially if they are prescribing HORMONE medications?? This is a scam and I hope someone looks into their practices.

As with any other medical therapy, the best way to determine which injection combination is right for you is to have one of our expert medical doctors determine what is the most appropriate for your current goals and medical situation.

Do I have to exercise on the program?

There is no requirement for exercise, but research consistently shows that exercise increases the likelihood of maintaining a healthy weight (and not regaining weight loss). Should you decide to pursue an exercise routine, with your doctor's permission, the program will offer activity recommendations based on your body composition and physical abilities.

Do Weight Loss Diet Pills Work?

Several weight loss medications are available that, in general, are modestly effective, leading to an average weight loss of 5 to 22 pounds above that experienced with non-drug treatments. People respond differently to weight loss medications, and some people experience more weight loss than others.

Also known as Bariatric Medicine, Medical Weight Loss is the field of medicine that offers treatment for the person who is overweight with comprehensive programs including diet and nutrition, exercise, behavior modification, lifestyle changes and, when indicated, the prescription of appetite suppressants and other appropriate medications. Bariatrics also includes research into obesity, its causes, and treatment. It is important to note that Medical Weight Loss is not surgery.
