Are medications or injections involved?
No injections are given in our clinic. We have also found that we rarely need to prescribe medications, however, obesity is a disease and for those with a particular genetic disposition, or for those for whom weight-loss has become a health necessity, medications will be considered. Under the guidance of our physician, these medications can be safely and effectively prescribed and can be a helpful method of maintaining long-term weight-loss. Our clinic follows the guidelines of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians as well as the National Institute of Health in prescribing medications.
