Does the program actually work?

Our approach has the best chance of working if you stick with the entire program and comply with the recommendations of our medical expert. We have research and clinical experience, as well as thousands of success stories and satisfied patients, to attest to the strength of our approach here at Texas Weight Loss. Changing your life won’t happen overnight – but it will happen quickly if you are dedicated to following our medical experts’ recommendations.

How does the program work?

The first step is a consultation to determine whether or not you qualify for B-12 injections or lipoden. We will then work with you to incorporate a low-carb diet into your regular meals. The rest of our program involves lab work, medical screenings, and FDA-approved weight loss prescription medication. We also use B-12 injections for qualified patients. These injections improve mood, boost energy, and increase metabolism. An experienced medical provider will monitor all of these weight loss measures and schedule you for monthly follow-up appointments.

When is an EKG required?

You will have to get an EKG (electrocardiogram) if you have risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol. An EKG is also required if you are 50 or older.

How do I qualify for a weight loss prescription?

Patients qualify for phentermine if they have a BMI of at least 30 and do not have a comorbid condition.

What are B-12 shots or injections?

A vitamin B-12 shot will increase your energy levels, improve your mood, and enhance your metabolism. B-12 is very important to the function and health of our bodies.

What are lipoden shots or injections?

Lipoden shots increase your metabolism, helping the body process carbohydrates and fats with more efficiency. These injections are made up of a chemical/hormonal/nutrient combination and are one of the more recent trends in weight loss techniques.

Do I have to take the shots?

You can always choose to not take injections. However, B-12 and lipoden shots do not carry any major side effects and both are regarded as safe.

How often should I take a lipoden injection and a B-12 injection?

A weekly dose is typically recommended.

What is the InBody test?

You will get a breakdown of your body’s composition balance, proteins, body water, minerals, and body fat with the InBody test.

Is the weight loss diet the same for each person?

No - We understand that every person is unique and their lifestyle and dietary preferences are different. We create a meal plan and diet menu with a list of approved and unapproved foods.

How often do I need to come in for appointments?

We ask that you come in for monthly follow-up appointments to help track your progress, explain results, and keep your plan tailored to your developing needs.

What are the benefits of weight loss injections?

Weight loss, when combined with a low-carb diet and regular exercise, can help improve energy levels, detox the liver, and aid in weight loss.
