What does the treatment consist of?
Several medications are used in the program, along with a healthy
diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements. The medications work together to control appetite.
Each medication has side effects, but most side effects
are reduced by using the medications together. Other
precautions that will be discussed at your first visit
are also used to reduce side effects.
What weight loss should you expect?
As
long as you follow the program, you can expect to continue gradual
weight loss for up to 24 months on medication. The
weight loss should exceed 15% of your starting weight.
Thus, if you weigh 200 pounds, you might expect to lose
at least 30 pounds in a period of 12-18 months. In
addition, a weight loss maintenance phase is instituted
once the desired weight loss has been achieved.
Additional instructions and information on how to take
the medications, how to avoid side effects, diet and
exercise instructions, and vitamin and supplements to
take will be given to you during your first visit to The
