What will happen during the visit? Will you need lab work? Will you leave with a treatment plan? Are medications your only option?
At Pro Health, we believe patients should understand exactly what to expect before they walk through the door. Our goal is to make your first medical weight loss visit informative, personalized, and focused on helping you find a solution that fits your health goals and lifestyle.
Your Weight Loss Journey Begins with a Comprehensive Consultation
Your first visit starts with a one-on-one consultation with an experienced nurse practitioner. During this appointment, you’ll discuss your medical history, previous weight loss efforts, current health concerns, and the goals you hope to achieve.
The initial consultation is $75 and includes laboratory testing, giving your provider valuable information about your overall health before recommending a treatment plan.
Rather than making assumptions or recommending the same program for every patient, Pro Health takes the time to understand the factors that may be contributing to your difficulty losing weight.
For many patients, this conversation is the first opportunity to discuss years of frustration with dieting, weight loss plateaus, or unsuccessful attempts to lose weight on their own.
Understanding What’s Been Holding You Back
No two weight loss journeys are exactly alike.
Some patients have struggled with constant hunger or food cravings. Others find that their metabolism seems to have slowed over time. Some have experienced temporary success with diets, only to regain the weight months later.
Your consultation is designed to identify these challenges and determine whether there may be underlying factors affecting your progress.
By reviewing your health history, laboratory results, lifestyle, and long-term goals, your provider can recommend an approach that is tailored specifically to you rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution.
Exploring Your Medical Weight Loss Options
One of the biggest advantages of your first visit is learning about all of the treatment options available to you.
Many patients come to Pro Health specifically to ask about GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide. While these medications may be appropriate for some individuals, they are only part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program.
Depending on your health history, goals, and provider recommendations, your personalized plan may include options such as GLP-1 medications, phentermine, fat-burning peptides, or other medically supervised weight loss strategies. Your provider will explain how each option works, answer your questions, and help you understand which approach may be the best fit for your individual needs.
The goal is not simply to prescribe medication. It is to create a sustainable plan that supports long-term success.
Reviewing Your Lab Results
Laboratory testing is an important part of the evaluation process because it provides a clearer picture of your overall health.
Your results help your provider determine whether there are medical factors that should be considered when developing your treatment plan. They also provide a valuable baseline that can be used to monitor your progress over time.
Taking this comprehensive approach helps ensure that recommendations are based on your individual health rather than assumptions.
Leaving with a Personalized Plan
Before your visit is complete, you’ll have a better understanding of your options and a clear path forward.
Whether your provider recommends a GLP-1 medication, phentermine, fat-burning peptides, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of treatments, you’ll know why those recommendations were made and how they support your long-term goals.
This personalized approach is one of the reasons many patients choose Pro Health for medical weight loss in Memphis.
What Happens After Your First Visit?
Medical weight loss is not about quick fixes. It is an ongoing process that works best with regular follow-up and support.
Approximately 30 days after beginning treatment, you’ll return for a follow-up appointment. During this visit, your provider will review your progress, discuss how you’re feeling, answer any questions, and determine whether any adjustments to your treatment plan are needed. If appropriate, your prescription will be renewed so you can continue moving toward your goals.
These follow-up visits help keep patients accountable while ensuring that treatment continues to reflect their individual needs.
Many patients also choose to enroll in one of Pro Health’s memberships, which can provide additional value for individuals participating in ongoing weight loss or wellness services.
