What happens during a medical weight loss consultation?
To receive medical weight loss care, schedule a consultation with Dr. Singh. He will assess your health, complete some lab testing, learn about your medical history, and conduct a body composition analysis that determines your BMI and body fat. Once you begin medical weight loss treatment, you will be asked to attend a weekly checkup at our Las Vegas, NV office. During these visits, we can give any necessary injections, such as triamine, BCAA, carnitine, MIC, or B12, for optimal health.
Obesity management includes:
- Behavior modifications: This includes suggestions for diet and exercises that reduces caloric intake and get patients moving, which influences caloric deficit.
- Pre-packaged meal replacement plans: They help patients transition to nutritious self-prepared meals, including Medi-fast, OPTIFAST®, and Advanced Health System.
- Weight-loss medication: hCg medication paired with a low-calorie diet can reset your metabolism without causing feelings of hunger. Dr. Singh may also prescribe other medications based on your needs.
