Overview
ACE Medical Weight Loss Center offers physician supervised weight loss program which consists of diet, excercise, counseling and appetite suppresants if necessary.
Our weight loss method consists of three phases; active weight loss phase, transition phase and maintenance phase.
The active weight loss phase is designed to work quickly and effectively. During this phase the doctor will work to increase your metabolism through diet and exercise. The length of this phase varies from person to person depending on desired goal weight. During this phase the doctor will monitor you and your weight loss very closely. You will have regular weigh-ins, Vitamin B-12 injections and blood work.
* Initial blood work will test for any thyroid issues or vitamin deficiencies. Follow-up blood work will be done routinely with each patient.
During the transition phase you will slowly transition back to more normal eating habits. You will be educated on healthy eating habits and food preparation. This phase is important to help you maintain the weight you have lost. During this phase you will have bi-weekly weigh-ins.
During the maintenance phase you will only visit the doctor on a bi-monthly basis. This phase is designed to help you keep the weight off. The doctor will discuss your eating habits and exercise habits, as well as monitor your body fat and lean muscle.
Weight Loss Programs are not typically covered by most health insurance companies. Even if there is a medical reason to lose weight. However, some insurance companies have recently added Wellness Programs that cover weight loss. Please check with your insurance company to see if this is available to you.
