What makes Weight Loss+ better and different than the other options? It seems like every time you turn on the television or go online, you see an ad for some new rapid weight loss program. Many of these programs want to sell you their food, shakes, or "miracle diet pills." At WeightLoss+ in Louisville, Kentucky, we don't want to sell you on gimmicks. We don't even want to sell you food. The foundation of our medically supervised weight loss program is bariatric medicine (not bariatric surgery).
Your First Appointment
At your first appointment in our Louisville Weight Loss Clinic is more than just a quick consultation. It will include nutritional counseling, exercise and behavior modification techniques, prescription appetite suppressants (if needed), EKG (electrocardiogram), complete blood work panel, and injections of vitamins B6 and B12.
Nutritional Education
Education to help you "unlearn" what you know about healthy living. At WeightLoss+, we not only teach you the merits of a low-carb/high-protein diet, but we also help you make better options in your life, including those moments when you find yourself at the drive thru.
Prescription Diet Pills
Help through prescription diet drugs and diet recommendations. Because we offer a medically supervised weight loss program, we can tailor your program, including prescription diet medication, to your specific needs.
Guided Help By Health Care Professionals
Guidance each step of the way is available through weekly follow-up visits. Our weight loss health professionals will help guide you through the pitfalls of healthy weight loss in the real world.
✚ Get medical supervision for your weight loss. You will work with medical professionals, not "counselors" who are really sales people who want you to buy a product.
✚ Receive an education in food. To help you not only lose weight, but to have a better chance of keeping it off, we teach you the basics of a low-carb/high-protein diet and how you can incorporate these principles of eating into your life.
✚ Have no "special food" to buy. Any food you need to eat can be purchased at your local grocery store, not at our office. By teaching you how to properly eat with foods you can purchase at your neighborhood grocery store, we give you the tools you need to not only lose the weight, but to also help keep it off.
✚ Will find that surgery is not an option that we offer. You may hear "bariatric medicine" and automatically think "bariatric surgery." However, at WeightLoss+ in Louisville, we provide you with medically supervised weight loss without the dramatic step of surgery that may actually adversely affect your health.
When you hear the term bariatric medicine, you might automatically think about gastric bypass surgery or lap-band surgery. However, at Weight Loss +, we help our Louisville-area patients not through surgery, but through the basic fundamentals of bariatric medicine: modified diet, exercise, and behavioral therapy.
Although surgery might be a necessary option for someone who is morbidly obese, it is not necessarily the right course of action for you if you are overweight. By guiding you through your weight loss using the sound fundamentals of bariatric medicine, our weight loss health professionals can help you lose weight rapidly and keep it off – all without surgery.
Commonly Asked Questions
No. The use of appetite suppressant medications to treat obesity should be combined with physical activity and an improved diet to lose and maintain weight successfully over the long term.
Probably not. Appetite-suppressant medications are appropriate for carefully selected patients who are at significant medical risk because of their obesity. They are not recommended for use by people who are only mildly overweight unless they have health problems that are made worse by their weight. These medications should not be used only to improve appearance. In most cases, if you are only 10 pounds overweight, you should not consider appetite suppressants.
One indicator of a healthy weight is your BMI (body mass index). Learn your BMI and find out if your weight is adversely affecting your health.
