Is Medical Weight Loss Right for You?

At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, deciding if medical weight loss is appropriate for you involves a thorough and personalized assessment by our experienced healthcare team. One of the primary factors we consider is your Body Mass Index (BMI). Our medical weight loss programs are typically recommended for individuals with a BMI over 30, or over 27 if you have weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.

We also evaluate your overall physical health, including any underlying medical issues that could benefit from, or potentially complicate, weight loss efforts. Our team will review your previous attempts at weight loss—if you’ve tried to lose weight through diet and exercise but haven’t seen lasting success, a medical approach may be more suitable.

We understand that motivation and readiness for long-term lifestyle changes are crucial for success. Our programs are designed to support you with ongoing guidance, dietary adjustments, increased physical activity recommendations, and, when appropriate, prescription medications or other interventions.

Your current medications and full medical history will be carefully reviewed to ensure there are no contraindications for any weight loss treatments we might recommend. We also take into account psychological factors—including eating habits, emotional health, and any history of eating disorders or depression—so we can provide the right level of support and resources during your weight loss journey.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, our medical weight loss program stands apart from traditional diets by offering a comprehensive, science-based approach under the supervision of experienced healthcare professionals. Unlike popular, self-guided diet plans, our program is directed by board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners who begin with a thorough assessment of your overall health, medical history, and lifestyle. This allows us to create a personalized weight loss plan tailored to your unique needs and health goals.

Our team uses evidence-based strategies, which can include diagnostic testing, metabolic analysis, and, when appropriate, FDA-approved medications or meal replacements. We also address underlying health conditions—such as hormonal imbalances or metabolic disorders—that may be contributing to weight gain, something regular diets typically overlook.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, you receive ongoing support and close monitoring throughout your journey. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to track your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and provide continuous counseling and encouragement. This structured and professional support helps you overcome challenges and significantly reduces the risk of regaining weight, a common problem with unsupervised dieting.

Our focus is always on sustainable, long-term lifestyle changes. This approach not only helps you achieve your weight loss goals but also reduces your risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, we understand that losing weight isn’t always easy, especially when diet and exercise alone haven’t delivered the results you need. Our medical weight loss program is designed for individuals whose excess weight may be affecting their health and quality of life. You may be a good candidate for our medical weight loss services if you are:

• An adult with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (classified as obesity)
• An adult with a BMI of 27 or higher who also has weight-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnea

You may not be a candidate for weight loss if you have untreated eating disorders, certain medical conditions that could be worsened by weight loss medications, or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

If you’ve struggled with losing weight in the past, Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions offers a medical weight loss program that provides a new, evidence-based approach for achieving lasting results. Unlike traditional diet and exercise plans, our medical weight loss services are overseen by experienced healthcare professionals who design a customized plan focused on your unique health needs, lifestyle, and goals.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions, your individualized care may include prescription weight loss medications, nutritional counseling, behavioral support, and regular monitoring to track your progress. Our medical team can identify underlying factors—such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic challenges, or emotional triggers—that may have made previous weight loss efforts difficult. By addressing these root causes, we help you set realistic goals and support you every step of the way.

Our medical weight‑loss program is guided by our clinician who combines deep expertise in obesity medicine with a compassionate, patient‑first approach. During your initial consultation, you’ll receive a thorough evaluation of your health history, lifestyle, and weight‑loss goals. Together, you and our providers will craft a realistic, individualized plan to safely support your weight‑loss journey. We monitor your progress closely, adjusting your plan as needed, and emphasizes sustainable habits over quick fixes. With this hands‑on, medically supervised approach, you’re empowered to achieve healthier weight and a stronger foundation for long‑term well‑being.
