Many patients are interested in trying weight loss medications. These medications can be used for a variety of reasons:
Medical weight loss services can complement the surgical weight loss services offered by Dr. Eric Smith and Dr. Sarah Hayek, including the gastric sleeve, roux-en-y and SADI-S procedures.
Medical weight loss is a plan designed and supervised by healthcare professionals, emphasizing diet, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle.
Patients will have an initial assessment by the physician assistant including history and physical exam, laboratory work-up, and a body composition evaluation. The body composition evaluation breaks down the body into percentage of fat, protein, minerals, bone, body water and muscle.
Patients will be provided with nutrition support and education. Registered dietitians will be available as needed to monitor progress, adjust the weight loss plan and celebrate incremental successes along the way.
Patients will receive an individualized diet plan, fitness goals, and prescription weight loss medications when medically necessary. Diet plans and medications will be adjusted as needed and appropriate.
We will bill insurance for medical weight loss services.
