| First Visit |
|
The purpose of the medical
intake is to gather as much information as is necessary to
understand the factors which contribute to your weight problem and
the medical issues which we must take into consideration as we
design your program. You will be asked to purchase a kitchen scale
in order to weigh your portions. Once you have achieved your target
weight, you will have developed a 'visual' memory of the approximate
weight of certain foods and the scale will no longer be necessary. |

Rapid Weight Loss |

It is critical that you attend clinic
regularly as instructed in order to
provide you with the appropriate feedback and medical treatment
necessary to maximize the effectiveness of the program. You will be
weighed, our staff will review your food diary and you will receive
the necessary injections. You will also be provided with
prescriptions necessary to maximize the effectiveness of the program
and to assure that the weight loss is occurring safely. You will be
required to attend our clinic 3 times
per week until you have achieved your
target weight. Once this occurs, you will be placed on a maintenance
schedule. |

Maintenance |
| Maintenance visits are required to assure that
you receive the appropriate support and advice to help control your
weight in the long run. You will be asked to attend clinic twice
weekly for 3 months and then once weekly thereafter. We will ask you
to engage in a regular exercise regime which will be targeted to
your particular situation. Exercise is an essential component of our
program. |
