Medication Assisted Weight Management Program

In this plan, we add FDA approved anti-obesity medication.  They may be a safe and successful tool as adjunct therapy along with comprehensive lifestyle modification which incorporates nutrition, behavior changes and exercise.  Some examples of FDA approved medications that are used include Wegovy, Saxenda, Qsymia, and Contrave and Zepbound. 

The use of anti-obesity medication in combination with a physician supervised nutritional plan leads to significantly more weight loss than either diet or medication alone. They also help patients maintain a reduced weight so it is important to understand that the use of these pharmaceuticals may be a long term solution.  Adding medication alone will not lead to sustained weight loss.  A commitment to regular follow up visits for medical monitoring and accountability are detrimental to success.   A detailed evaluation performed by one of our obesity medicine physician specialists will determine if this is right for you.
