Vital signs check

Your Toseg Medical Center specialist weighs you and assesses your body mass index (BMI). They also check your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs. 

Physical exam

During a physical exam, your weight loss provider evaluates your overall health and wellness to detect or rule out possible medical problems.

Based on your health history and disease risk factors, your specialist may recommend tests that evaluate hormone, cholesterol, or nutrient levels within your bloodstream.

Weight loss plan development

Your Toseg Medical Center provider develops a customized weight loss plan just for you. They tailor nutritious menus and exercise programs to match your needs. 

You might take dietary supplements, weight-loss medications, or other medicines that help you manage a chronic disease. Your specialist follows up with you to ensure your weight loss plan works effectively. 

How much weight can I lose?
