Which medical weight management plan is best for me?

The experts at Church Street Medical Center and Aesthetics tailor a weight management plan based on your personalized needs. They weigh you, assess your body mass index (BMI), and check your blood pressure and other vital signs.

Your weight loss specialist also discusses your medical history, medications, lifestyle habits, usual diet and exercise regimen, and long-term health goals.

What happens during medical weight management?

After your provider designs a personalized medical weight loss program, simply follow their instructions. You might take pills or receive injections to better control blood sugar, reduce your appetite, and increase fat-burning. Intravenous (IV) therapy can further optimize weight loss.

You may alter your exercise regimen, change your dietary habits, minimize stress, try behavior-change strategies, and take dietary supplements. Church Street Medical Center and Aesthetics also provides aesthetics options, including Botox®, fillers, PDO threads, laser hair removal, and microneedling.

You can expect to lose 1-5 pounds weekly during your medical weight management journey. Your provider follows up in person or via telehealth to ensure it’s successful. Call the Church Street Medical Center and Aesthetics office any time with questions.

Church Street Medical Center and Aesthetics can also help you manage a chronic disease. As you begin losing weight, your weight loss provider may alter your plan until you reach your goals. They can adapt your medication regimen accordingly, as patients typically require lower medication dosages as they move toward an ideal weight.
