iMedical weight management program is suitable for both male and female and is recommended for those with a BMI of 27 and above. The therapy combines consultation, screening results, with prescribed medication to help patients with gradual weight loss.

When you’re overweight, losing weight can feel like a challenge, no matter how much you want it.

Sometimes it might seem like our minds are working against us, making up excuses to keep us from achieving our weight goals.

It’s natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly…

…But people who lose weight gradually and steadily are more successful at keeping weight off.

At iMedical, our Doctors focus on holistic treatment plans to not only help you keep the weight off,

but also manage possible complications that may arise from being overweight.

Complications from being overweight

The issue with being overweight is not simply aesthetics in terms of body shape and size. Being overweight is a serious health risk as it can lead to other medical problems such as:

• Diabetes
• High Blood Pressure
• Sleep Apnea
• Kidney Diseases
• Certain Types of Cancer
• And More…

In this case, even a modest weight loss of 5 to 7% of your total body weight is likely to produce health benefits, such as improvements in blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugars.

Treatment Process

Prior to starting treatment, a series of tests will be ordered – These tests will include:

• Basic Health Screening
• Family & Medical History
• Screening for Cholesterol
• Blood Pressure
• Blood Sugar
• Diabetes
• Cardiac Profile, etc.

Thereafter, we will prescribe medication for the patient to help in their weight loss journey.

Weight loss is generally considered a long-term therapy and patients need to be monitored regularly.

Patients will have to go through follow-ups with the Doctor on a monthly basis to discuss if goals are reached and if any adjustment to the medication dosage has to be adjusted.

NOTE: While the iMedical weight management program can be a great addition to one’s weight loss journey, it is not necessarily a substitute for healthy lifestyle decisions such as getting appropriate amounts of exercise or choosing foods that support the weight loss goals.
