Weight Loss Management Q & A

How much weight can I lose?

How much weight you lose is up to you. Dr. Bolling offers a medical weight loss program for patients who want to lose weight quickly or over an extended period of time. If you begin now, you could lose as much as 20-30 pounds in your first two months. The only thing you need to do is make a decision to commit to the program, and the weight loss will follow.

How does physician-supervised weight loss work?

Physician-supervised weight loss is different for each patient because it's customized specifically for your needs and goals.

Your weight loss program will begin with a consultation with Dr. Bolling. During this consultation, Dr. Bolling will review your medical history and discusses other diet plans you may have tried. She’ll then suggest a program for you.

No matter which weight loss program you choose, you'll get

• Body-composition analysis to measure your body fat and lean tissue
• Measurement of your wrist-waist circumference to determine your frame size  
• Electrocardiogram to check your heart health
• Complete blood panel to check for diabetes, high cholesterol, and other blood issues

With all of the above information in hand, Dr. Bolling and her highly trained team will customize your plan to give you the best results.

How often will I have weight loss appointments?

Most patients come in once a month for evaluations. During your appointment, Dr. Bolling will prescribe more supplements or medication if they’re part of your plan. Research demonstrates that teaming up with a medical professional is the best way to achieve long-term weight loss results.

Do I qualify for weight loss medication?

When Dr. Bolling evaluates you, she will determine if you should get medication. Generally, you must be obese and have a healthy heart to take weight loss medication.

Even if you don't qualify to take medication, or if you want to avoid medication for personal reasons, Dr. Bolling can still create a plan for you. While medication is very helpful to some patients, it’s not necessary to reach your weight loss goals if you're committed to the journey.

To get rid of your extra weight and get back to a healthy life, book an appointment with Dr. Kimberly L. Bolling online or over the phone today.
