Program Details:

No one likes surprises, especially when starting on a new weight loss program.  At Anderson Bariatric Physicians, we want your entire process to be pleasant and positive, starting with Day One. Your first visit to our clinic will probably take a couple of hours.  Appointments always help keep everyone on schedule, and we offer new customer appointment times at 9AM, 10AM, 11AM, 2PM and 3PM.  One of our staff members will call to remind you before your first appointment, give you a few additional details, and will gladly answer any questions you may have.

So, what’s our process?  We’ll start by getting to know you and the challenges you face.  And we’ll talk about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, and how to set achievable goals. Our staff will assess your current health status through comprehensive blood testing and monitoring vital signs.  Using the latest technology, we’ll do a Body Composition Analysis, and a Body Mass Index, which measure body fat percentage.

Your first visit will include some testing with necessary preparation. On the day of your first visit, you’ll need to fast for at least 5 hours before your appointment time.  This ensures that we will get accurate readings on all your blood work.  Up until the time of your appointment, you should only drink water.  After your first day, we’ll see you each month for follow-up visits to measure your progress and look ahead to what’s next.

We design a personal plan for achieving your own weight loss goals.  We’ll counsel you on healthy nutrition choices and portion sizes, so you’ll have daily guidelines for smart decisions. And we’ll begin FDA-approved appetite suppressants to help manage your caloric intake, along with complete information on these beneficial medications. You’ll get to meet our in-house pharmacists, who can offer guidance on prescriptions and supplements.  Plus, we’ll talk about safe and effective physical activities that will enhance your progress.
