Frequently Asked Questions...

 

I've lost weight before and I've never been able to keep it off.  Why will this program work for me when nothing else has?

This is probably the most frequently asked question we hear!  Most people who are battling weight issues have been battling them for a long time.  Yo-yo dieting has caused even more problems than they started out with.  We take a medical approach to weight loss.  It's complicated because your body is complicated!  Your treatment plan is unique to your wants & needs, your health, and your "triggers".  This program will work because it is a lifetime changing course, not just another diet.  You will learn to take control of your body and to listen to its changing needs.  You will learn to adapt your program to your lifestyle and to adapt your lifestyle to your program.  We will be beside you every step of the way, guiding you on the path to healthy weight loss and healthy weight management...changes that will last you the rest of your life!

 

Why all the medical tests before we begin?

Your blood work, EKG, and physical exams all give us a beginning window into your treatment course.  Many people with weight control issues also have underlying & related health concerns.  These tests allow us to treat you completely & safely, from the inside out!

 

Will my insurance cover this program?

Unfortunately, the insurance industry is lagging behind in recognizing weight control as a serious health concern.  Even though you are saving them money in the long run by taking control of your body and your health, they probably will not pay for your program.  If you have other health concerns, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, they may cover part of your treatment with us.  We do not file insurance for you but we will be happy to assist you with questions about filing so that you have better chances for reimbursement from your insurance plan.
