What Medical Weight Loss is All About
Who May Be a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
- A BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher, or
- A BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes
What to Expect From a Medical Weight Loss Program
Your medical weight loss plan starts with an individual assessment. During your consultation, our healthcare provider may review your:
- Current weight and BMI
- Medical history and medications
- Weight-related health conditions
- Previous weight loss attempts
- Eating and activity patterns
- Personal weight and health goals
Based on this assessment, our healthcare provider can recommend an individualized plan that may include nutrition and activity changes, prescription medication and ongoing follow-up. Depending on your needs, you may also be recommended additional evaluation, such as metabolic testing, to better understand factors that may affect your weight management plan. Your treatment plan may be adjusted over time based on your progress, response to treatment, side effects and overall health.
Supervised Diet and Exercise
as Part of Medical Weight Loss Program
Nutrition, physical activity and sustainable daily habits are core components of a medical weight loss program. At DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery, these lifestyle strategies are personalized to your health, mobility, fitness level, eating patterns and weight management goals.
Dietary guidance may focus on creating a balanced eating pattern, managing portion sizes, improving food choices and maintaining an appropriate calorie intake based on your individual needs and goals. The aim is not to follow a restrictive, one-size-fits-all diet, but to build an eating plan that is realistic and easier to maintain over time.
Physical activity is also tailored to your current fitness level, mobility and overall health. Depending on your needs, this may include:
- Walking or other low-impact aerobic activity
- Squats and lunges
- Resistance or strength training
- Kettlebell exercises
- Other forms of movement that can be incorporated into your daily routine
Our healthcare providers can help you identify practical lifestyle changes that support your overall treatment plan and long-term weight management.
Prescription Weight Loss Medication
Prescription medication is one of the key treatment options available within a medical weight loss program and may be used alongside nutrition, physical activity and other lifestyle strategies to support weight management. Depending on the medication, it may help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, slow digestion or reduce the absorption of dietary fat.
At DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery, medication may be incorporated into a broader medical weight loss plan based on your health history, BMI, weight-related conditions and treatment goals.
These medications work in different ways. Some act on appetite and satiety pathways, including GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 activity, while others work through different mechanisms or reduce dietary fat absorption. Our healthcare provider will determine which treatment is appropriate based on your health profile and treatment goals.
Please note: Some active ingredients are sold under different brand names for different FDA-approved uses. Wegovy and Ozempic both contain semaglutide, while Zepbound and Mounjaro contain tirzepatide. Wegovy and Zepbound have weight-management indications, while Ozempic and Mounjaro are indicated for type 2 diabetes. Our healthcare provider can advise which medication and formulation are appropriate for you.
What If Insurance Doesn’t Cover My Weight Loss Medication?
Insurance coverage for prescription weight loss medications varies by health plan and medication. Some plans may not cover certain treatments or may require prior authorization.
If your prescribed medication is not covered, cash-pay options may be available. Our team can help you understand current payment options and potential out-of-pocket medication costs.
