Expectations

Patients that come to us are often those that have continued to struggle with their weight loss journey, despite efforts to follow other diet or exercise plans. There can be embarrassment and feelings of failure associated with not being able to lose weight. However, here at Bodywise, we understand that some people need a little extra help to achieve their weight loss goals.

Many of the people that come to us do so because they need that extra help, but they aren’t always sure what to expect or are unfamiliar with what medical weight loss means.
 
Our goal is to help you achieve the body you want, and we plan to stay with you every step of the way. There isn’t anyone at our clinics that doesn’t struggle with weight loss, and we understand that it isn’t always that easy. However, through our treatments and plans, we can help you get on track and meet your goals.

What to Expect

For new patients, we ask that you schedule an appointment with us first. When you arrive for your first appointment, we will conduct a physical which includes getting your weight, BMI, blood pressure, and some non-fasting labs. This initial visit will help us determine whether the appetite suppression medication or the lipotropic injections work best for you.
 
We will then go over a diet and exercise plan for you to follow along with your treatment option to help you achieve the best results. Many people incorrectly assume that these treatments will magically get rid of the weight. However, it is important that you adjust your diet and exercise along with the treatments to reach your weight goals.
 
After your initial visit, you are able to walk in to receive injections or your prescription. We will also schedule regular check-in visits to talk about how the treatment is working. If you’re not seeing results, we’re able to talk through what the problems may be or adjust your plan or treatment.
 
We’re not here to simply prescribe medication and then walk away. We plan to be with you every step of the way.
