Which medical weight loss plan is best for me?

To determine which medical weight loss program best suits you, Bobbi reviews your current body weight, body mass index (BMI), medical history, symptoms, and more during a health assessment. She discusses your typical diet, exercise routine, and other lifestyle habits.

A blood test may help Bobbi determine if you have any medical concerns and which weight loss plan is the most appropriate based on your metabolism and hormones. If you need to complete this test, you visit a nearby lab or use an at-home blood collection kit. 

What can I expect during my weight loss journey?

Bobbi develops a treatment plan that may include:
