Are you ready to make changes in your life? Do you want to have more energy and get healthier? We want to help! At Touch of Grace Family Medicine, we are committed to helping our patients achieve their health and life goals. Need inspiration? Visit our blog!
Our Approach
Before starting our patients on weight loss medicines, we require a set of fasting labs and a complete medical history. The blood work lets us know if there are any underlying medical conditions that have triggered weight gain and gives us a starting point for treatment. The history is so that we can identify any risk factors for treatment.
Weight Management Visits
At the initial weight loss visit, we will review your weight loss labs and make up a treatment plan for you. We set goals for your next visit and usually see patients every 4-8 weeks for follow up after starting medicines. Every visit we will weigh our patients and take their measurements as well as inquire about energy levels, mood, and if needed we will add or adjust medicines. Normal weight loss is about 1-2 pounds per week, and we recommend at least 6 months of treatment for most patients.
OUR SERVICES
We offer medically supervised weight loss which consists of medication prescription for weight loss medication including injections and oral pills. We also help patients who are planning to start bariatric surgery preoperative visits, referral to surgeons, and provide documentation of treatment plans for insurance companies. Patients who prefer to lose weight without medication or surgery are welcome in our clinic too, we provide non-prescription plans including referrals to nutritionists, and medical follow up for our preferred vendors (Weight Watchers and Noom).
Lipo B Slim Shot injections are a blend of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. In combination with exercise and dietary changes, these shots can help patients lose weight and feel more energetic. They work to increase fat breakdown in the liver and inhibit fat storage. The ingredients include vitamin B12, methionine, choline, and inositol. This medicine is a supplement to a healthy diet and exercise to lose weight. Lipo B helps many patients achieve their weight loss goals but only in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise.
