Medical Weight Loss in Wappingers Falls

What This Is

Medical Care, Not A Product

There are programs you can start online in a few minutes by filling in a form and entering a card number. This is not one of those.

Medically supervised weight care means a licensed provider evaluates you first, decides with you whether this is appropriate, stays involved while you are under their care, and is accountable for that decision. It is the same relationship you would have with any other clinician treating any other condition.

The practical difference is that somebody who is responsible for your health is looking at the whole picture, including the things that have nothing to do with weight, and can change course or stop.

The First Appointment

What An Evaluation Involves

The first appointment is an evaluation, not a treatment. It is a conversation with a licensed provider about your health.

• You talk through your health history and anything you are currently being treated for

• You go over the medications and supplements you take

• Your provider asks what you have tried before and how your body responded to it

• Your provider explains whether this is something they can help with, and what that would involve

• You are told what happens next, including if the answer is that this is not the right route for you

What you have tried before is useful clinical information, not a test you passed or failed. Say what actually happened, including the parts that did not go the way you wanted, because that is the part your provider can actually use.

How We Talk About This

Your Body Is Not The Problem

We are not going to talk about your body as something broken, and we are not going to suggest that what has or has not worked before says anything about you. Weight is not a character question and it is not a matter of wanting it enough.

If you have been spoken to badly about this by a clinician before, you are not unusual, and we would rather you told us so than sat through an appointment bracing for it.
