Am I a candidate for medically supervised weight loss?

If your body mass index (BMI) is in the overweight or obese category and you haven’t been able to achieve your goal weight with diet and exercise alone, medically supervised weight loss is an excellent option. 

Some people may only need to lose a few excessive pounds, and dieting and exercise alone are not working.  Medically supervised weight loss is the answer. 

To learn which specific program is best suited for you and if you’re a candidate for weight loss medication, your provider reviews your medical history. They ask about any symptoms, discuss your current medications, and help develop a program that works for you. 

Your specialist might order blood tests to determine whether you have nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or risk factors for chronic disease before starting on weight loss medications.
