Appetite Suppressant Medications
Prescription appetite suppressants help control hunger and food cravings that often derail weight loss efforts. These medications work on brain neurotransmitters that regulate appetite and satiety signals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. We also consider patients who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals to determine if our programs are right for you. Most patients who are committed to making lifestyle changes can benefit from medical weight loss.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Weight loss results vary based on individual factors including starting weight, metabolism, adherence to the program, and chosen treatments. Most patients lose 1-3 pounds per week with our medical programs.
Patients using GLP-1 medications often achieve 15-20% body weight reduction over 6-12 months. Those using other prescription medications typically lose 5-10% of their body weight. We’ll discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation.
Are weight loss medications safe?
FDA-approved weight loss medications have established safety profiles when used under proper medical supervision. Our physicians carefully evaluate your health status before prescribing medications and monitor you throughout treatment.
Common side effects are generally mild and manageable, such as nausea, constipation, or decreased appetite. Serious side effects are rare but monitored for closely. We discuss all potential risks and benefits before starting any medication.
How long does the program take?
Program duration varies based on your weight loss goals and chosen treatments. Most patients participate in active weight loss phases for 3-6 months, followed by maintenance programs for ongoing support.
Some patients achieve their goals in 2-3 months, while others may need 6-12 months or longer for significant weight loss. We adjust program duration based on your progress and individual needs rather than rigid timelines.
What happens after I reach my goal weight?
Reaching your goal weight is just the beginning of lifelong weight management. We transition you to maintenance programs that help you sustain your achievements and prevent weight regain.
Maintenance programs include ongoing monitoring, lifestyle support, and treatment adjustments as needed. Many patients continue with periodic check-ins and support services to maintain their success long-term.
Do you accept insurance for weight loss services?
Insurance coverage for weight loss services varies by plan and often requires documentation of medical necessity. We work with most major insurance companies and help determine your specific coverage.
Services more likely to be covered include medical consultations, laboratory testing, and treatments for obesity-related health conditions. We provide detailed documentation to support insurance claims when applicable.
What is the difference between medical weight loss and diet programs?
Medical weight loss programs are supervised by licensed physicians and may include prescription medications, comprehensive medical evaluation, and treatment of underlying health conditions. Commercial diet programs typically focus only on nutrition and behavior modification.
Medical programs address hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, and medical factors that affect weight loss. This comprehensive approach often produces better results than diet programs alone, especially for patients with significant weight to lose.
