Why weekly visits?
Studies, as well as our own experience, have shown that weight loss success is greatest with weekly visits. Frequent contact for continuing education, ongoing support, and medication adjustments ensure that patients are following the program while their comfort and success are maximized. With a lower caloric intake and treatment with medication, it is in everyone’s interest to maintain close supervision while losing weight. That said, we do realize that business trips and vacations always arise and we are happy to make accommodations under our physicians’ direction.
