Are You a Candidate for a Medical Weight Loss Program?
You may benefit from a medically supervised weight loss program if you’ve been dieting and exercising but seeing little success in terms of weight loss. Dr. Ahmed can review your medical history and overall body weight to create a safe, effective treatment plan that helps you achieve your weight loss goals.
You may qualify if you:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
- Have a BMI of 27 or higher with medical conditions such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes
- Are ready to commit to a long-term weight management plan tailored to your needs
- Could benefit from prescription medications or other FDA-approved options to help you lose weight safely and effectively
Your plan may include medication for weight loss, nutrition counseling, or other noninvasive treatments designed to support your weight loss journey and improve related health issues.
Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss in Henderson, NV
How is medical weight loss different from regular diet programs?
Medical weight loss is supervised by a doctor and tailored to your unique health profile. It addresses the underlying causes of weight gain, including medical conditions, lifestyle factors, and nutritional habits, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all plan. It can incorporate prescription medication, meal plans, exercise routines, and more.
Does medical weight loss involve surgery?
No. Many patients achieve success through nonsurgical methods such as nutrition counseling, exercise guidance, behavior modification, and prescription medications. Bariatric surgery is only considered when it’s the safest and most effective option for your needs.
