Our Medical Weight Loss Program Protocol

Initial Consultation and Testing

The weight loss journey starts with an initial consultation. Here, Dr. Bailey meets one-on-one with patients to review their medical history, conduct a current health assessment, and discuss weight loss goals. This thorough evaluation also entails an extensive conversation about eating habits, exercise routine (or lack thereof), and any medical issues present. Consultations can be conducted virtually.
To create a unique and personalized weight loss plan for every patient, Dr. Bailey requests some diagnostic tests for each patient. These might consist of:
  • Blood Tests:  These will look for hormonal imbalances, thyroid function, and any underlying health issues that might affect the patient’s weight.
  • Body Composition Analysis: This reveals the proportion of body fat in comparison to lean muscle mass.
  • Cardiovascular Assessments: Before recommending any exercise regimes, our surgeon must know whether or not a patient’s heart health is adequate for increased physical activity.
Dr. Bailey creates a customized plan for losing weight after reviewing initial tests and evaluations. This might include suggestions for diet, activities to try, and medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide if they seem helpful based on the individual person. Our doctor explains exactly how these medications work and why they might also benefit the patient’s health.
Before prescribing any medications, Dr. Bailey always takes into account potential contraindications. For example, Semaglutide may not be appropriate for patients who have had thyroid cancer or pancreatic conditions. Tirzepatide needs to be used with care in people with severe gastrointestinal illness because of possible adverse effects.
Our weight loss program provides ongoing assistance every step of the way. We schedule regular check-ins to track a patient’s progress, make any needed changes to their plan, and help keep them motivated. Dr. Bailey and our team are always here for any questions or concerns.
Once the patient has reached their goal weight, we concentrate on helping them maintain it. Dr. Bailey creates a long-term weight management plan. It may involve regular check-ups on their health, advice about lifestyle choices, and information about nutrition.

Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
Weight Loss Program

Semaglutide is a medication that works by copying the effects of a hormone called GLP-1, which makes patients feel “full” after eating. By acting like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the brain, it can increase satisfaction from food, decrease hunger levels, and make digestion slower. This way, patients consume fewer calories and develop healthier food choices. The administration involves a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using an autoinjector pen. The starting dose is 2.4 mg. Still, it may be adjusted up to 4.0 mg based on the individual’s response and needs.

Mechanism of Action
GLP-1 receptor agonist
Increases satiety, reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying
Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
2.4 mg per week, adjustable up to 4.0 mg
Autoinjector pen
Promotes significant weight loss by making healthier food choices
Ideal for patients focusing primarily on weight loss

Another technique used by Dr. Bailey is injecting Tirzepatide. This medication stands out due to its dual action since it is both a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. With this double-action process, sugar levels within the blood are controlled more effectively. At the same time, it suppresses appetite and helps patients feel less hungry, which can help them lose extra pounds. The treatment offers a flexible dosing regimen, with patients choosing between once-weekly or once-daily subcutaneous injections.
Mechanism of Action
Dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist
Regulates appetite, reduces body weight, improves glycemic control
Flexible dosing, available as once-weekly or once-daily injections
5 mg per week, adjustable up to 10 mg depending on response and needs
Autoinjector pen or manual injection depending on frequency
Provides significant weight loss with enhanced blood sugar management
Suitable for patients needing weight management and glycemic control

Benefits of a Weight Management Program

Professional
Medical Supervision

A significant benefit of medical weight loss programs is continuous monitoring from healthcare providers. This supervision helps ensure that the weight loss is safe and effective by adjusting medications, diet plans, or exercise prescriptions as needed to maximize results and minimize risks.

Improved Health
Outcomes

Medical weight loss programs have been shown to improve several health metrics, including blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar management. These factors can reduce a patient's risk for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Sustainable
Weight Loss

While fad diets may help patients shed pounds quickly, they often lead to subsequent regain. In contrast, a professionally developed weight loss program can ensure a stable and desired outcome. Patients are taught how to make healthy food choices and exercise regularly as part of their everyday routine. This helps them keep off the weight they have lost over an extended period.

Psychological
Benefits

Achieving and keeping a healthy weight can significantly affect how someone feels mentally. Patients often find they have higher self-esteem and reduced symptoms of depression. Many even report having a better life outlook if they are at a weight they're happy with.

When Will You See the Results?

Results from a medical weight loss program may be visible after a few weeks. However, this time varies by patient due to factors like health, metabolic rate, adherence to the plan, and initial weight. It may take a few months of regular activity before they notice any significant changes. Losing weight slowly and steadily is best for health and long-term maintenance. Besides, it means making life changes for good, not just fitting into summer shorts.

Ideal Candidates for a Weight Loss Program

Weight loss programs can be quite effective if they suit the patients who follow them well. They aim to help adopt healthier eating habits and be more physically active. However, some characteristics make a patient an ideal candidate:
Individuals with a BMI Over 30
Those with a BMI of 30 or higher are great candidates. They often have obesity-related health problems and might benefit from a structured, supervised strategy.
Patients with Weight-Related Health Conditions
Another ideal group of candidates are patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. A weight loss program can help manage these conditions by lowering the body’s fat content and improving overall health.
Those Unsuccessful with Diet and Exercise Alone
If patients have tried dieting and exercise but still haven’t lost weight, a medical weight loss program could be worth considering. These programs go beyond just diet and exercise to provide extra support and resources.
Individuals Looking for Long-Term Lifestyle Changes
Those willing to make long-term lifestyle adjustments are the best fit. A weight loss program equips them with the resources and assistance necessary for adopting lasting dietary, behavioral, and activity-related shifts.
Patients Ready for Medical Intervention
Patients should consider being open to medical interventions. These might involve taking prescription medications or supplements along with lifestyle changes for better outcomes.

Botox & Fillers
I’ve came to Dr. Bailey for years now and have always had the highest quality experience!!! He always goes above and beyond to make sure the procedure for Botox and Filler are pain free. In my 20’s I struggled with extremely bad migraines, at least 3 per month. Once I started Botox with Dr.Bailey they were completely alleviated and of course the cosmetic results were top notch as well. The entire office staff has always made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I truly feel like they care about me and I’m not “just another patient”. I am always 💯 pleased with my results. Dr. Collin Bailey is the BEST!! His unmatchable expertise keeps me coming back!!!!

Breast Lift & Implants
“I was intimidated when I first came in but I was greeted at the door and Dr. Bailey’s staff was so nice and made me feel so welcomed. When I was having my consultation I felt insecure about myself but Dr. Bailey and his staff made me feel at ease. They were willing to tell me all my options and explain the procedure thoroughly. I am so happy I moved forward with a breast lift and my implants are a perfect size as well. I am feeling and looking better than ever! I have more confidence and overall feel better about myself. I couldn’t recommend this facility more! I keep telling my friends to come in for consultation so they can have a great experience like I did.”
