Initial Medical Assessment

Your first visit with the doctor will consist of a thorough history and physical exam. First, he will determine any medical risks associated with your excess weight. Then, the doctor will assess if there are potential medications or medical problems contributing to your excess weight. Next a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan will be presented and discussed. Treatment plans can include the use of behavioral modification, weight loss medication/supplementation, and in some cases weight loss surgery. The doctors and staff at MindBody Bariatrics view treatment as a team effort and we rely on our collaborative relationships with our patients. Keep in mind that only a preliminary plan can be provided at the initial appointment if prior medical testing has not been completed.

Follow-up Medical Visits

Follow-up visits are generally recommended once per month, but may be necessary more frequently depending on your needs. During your follow-up visits, you will receive ongoing individualized medical counseling and treatment. Medical visits are absolutely required while taking weight loss medication. Follow-up visits are often necessary to monitor changes in health status and, in certain cases, may be required weekly.
