You will remain on this step until you reach your goal weight, average of 16 weeks.

Please read the following rules. These rules are extremely important for a successful weight loss journey!

1. You must come back at minimum in monthly intervals at your scheduled time. If you need to reschedule your appointment, it must be within 2 days of the regularly scheduled time. If you miss this 4-day window, you will be considered "Starting Over", which costs $130, as in the First Visit. This is necessary in order to comply with North Carolina State guidelines for bariatric medicine. We can only help patients who are serious about weight loss and weight maintenance.

2. There is a $30 service charge for missed appointments. To avoid this charge, please notify us to reschedule within 24 hours of your scheduled visit.

3. You must notify our healthcare providers if your current health condition changes or if you begin taking any new medications.

Transition Phase

Every Other Week Visits  $65

• Weight and body fat index

• Blood Pressure

• Metabolic Rate

• Consultation with the dietician and/or medical professional

• Behavioral Medicine

• Lipotrophic injection

This is a transitional step where you will be counseled on maintaining your weight loss with an increased emphasis on increasing your metabolic rate through exercise and diet.  This step lasts one month if you have lost 0 to 50 pounds and two months if you have lost more than 50 pounds.

Long Term Maintenance

Monthly or Every Other Week Visits  $50

• Weight and body fat index

• Blood Pressure

• Metabolic Rate

• Consultation

• Behavioral Medicine

This is a very important step since the majority of patients need continuous monitoring to maintain their weight loss.  Most studies show that long term maintenance of a year or more greatly improves your chances of lifetime weight loss.

Insurance

We do not participate with any insurance plans, as the majority of companies have chosen to not cover services for the medical management of obesity.  We are able to generate a ‘superbill’ which you can file your own insurance.

Keep in mind, the IRS allows you to deduct expenses for  Physician directed weight loss programs if you meet  certain criteria. Also, if you have flex spending or HSA accounts, you may use these funds to pay for medical weight loss. Of course, you should review these matters with your tax specialist.
