Weight Loss Packages

How do I get started?

Your initial visit with us will be approximately 45 minutes and requires an appointment. Afterward, you can then come in on a weekly basis without an appointment.

At your first visit, you will receive your first month of medication, lab work and diet consultation. The lab test is comprehensive and includes a complete blood count, thyroid panel with TSH, a lipid panel and a metabolic panel. If you have already had lab work done within the last three months, our doctor is happy to accept that.

How much does your weight loss program cost?

The fee for your plan will be determined at your first visit. Every plan is individualized and developed with the goal of achieving the greatest results. We realize budgets can easily become an issue; we will work to accommodate your budgetary restrictions as much as possible.

What is HCG?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) hormone is a substance, which occurs naturally in pregnant women and has the effect of releasing abnormal stored fat.

How does this reducing method work?

It works with a combination of a daily injection of the HCG hormone plus an exact diet.

Is HCG harmful in any way?

No. During pregnancy, HCG is produced daily in a quantity a few hundred thousand times the amount used for the treatment of obesity, yet it harms neither the mother nor the child.

Can it be used by both men and women?

Absolutely. HCG has been used successfully in the past by both men and women.

How do HCG and diet work together?

During pregnancy, HCG is believed to help ensure that the fetus will have access to its mother’s stored fat supply, regardless of the amount of food that she eats. In overweight people, HCG seems to work by the same method—making permanently stored supplies of fat available. This method helps the patient adhere to the diet and see significant results.

Will HCG work without the diet?

Although there is no dramatic weight loss without the accompanying diet, HCG usually causes a reduction in inches rather than pounds.

Will HCG affect my appearance?

Will I get wrinkles or stretch marks if I lose a substantial amount of weight?

Patients that use the HCG method of weight loss should not see any stretch marks or wrinkles as a result. Abnormal fat deposits should disappear. Double chins, pot bellies, and fat around the thighs should be the first to go. The treatment does not deplete the subcutaneous or other essential fat. The face retains its freshness and natural appearance.

Has this method been used before?

Yes. HCG had been used in thousands of cases before it was first reported in the Medical Journal Lancet in November 1954. Since that time, it has been used in many more.

What effects can I expect from the HCG injection itself?

Usually, a loss of appetite occurs and patients notice that the severe compulsive hunger disappears completely.

How do you know that the combination of HCG injections and the diet are more effective than just diet alone?

In a test case, weak saline solution was substituted for the HCG, unknown to the patient. Weight loss continued for about three days and then the patients complained of feeling weak or dizzy, became ravenously hungry, and declared themselves unable to continue the treatment. As soon as treatment on HCG was resumed, they again felt satisfied with their diets.
