Winner Weight MD is a physician operated and supervised medical bariatric clinic. After our MD reviews your health and diet history you will be given a physical exam, blood work and an EKG will be ordered. (You may opt to have these tests done at your primary care physician's office.)
The physician and patient decide which weight loss strategy is most likely to result in sustained weight loss. Dietary logs are very helpful to this process. Patients may choose various menus, or modify various programs that include meal substitutes such as Health Wise, Atkins, Smart for Life, Southbeach, R-Kane, Legacy for Life, Bariatric Choice, etc. Dietary education is ongoing.
Supplements and injections such as Vitamin B12, MIC and HCG are considered on an individual basis. Medications for diabetes, thyroid disease and hypertension will be adjusted according to change in caloric intake, blood pressure, weight loss and lab results. Your prescribing physician will be notified.
Studies have shown that personal support helps when changing behavior. We encourage e-mail or phone contact with us or someone else who you know will be supportive and encouraging.
