I need to know which doctor to go to..

My health insurance site has listings of family practice doctors, internal medicine doctors, Pediatric doctors, General Practice doctors. Those are all under primary care physicians.

Which doctor can prescribe weight loss medications?

If that avatar is you, you don’t need a weight loss medication. If you’re uncomfortable with your body exercise and eat better.

If you are considering weight loss surgery, it is vital to locate a well-qualified surgeon that has successfully performed countless numbers of these types of surgeries. As these surgeries are increasing in popularity, more insurance companies are beginning to cover their cost. This has resulted in an influx of doctors who are willing to perform weight loss surgeries. While most of these doctors are probably well-qualified, it is important to ensure your surgery will be performed by someone extremely knowledgeable about this particular surgery.

One way to locate a good weight loss surgeon is to get recommendations. You might have family members, friends, or colleagues who have undergone the surgery. Question them about their doctors to determine which doctor they have had good experiences with. Most patients are very forthcoming about their knowledge about a doctor they have used. Many people get their referral through their primary care physician. More than likely your primary care doctor knows and can recommend a surgeon that performs weight loss surgeries. Ask your doctor for several names so you are equipped to compare various doctors’ experiences and qualifications. Remember that you are not required to use the surgeon recommended by your doctor. Many times, primary care doctors will recommend another doctor based on factors other than experience or skills. They may recommend someone with whom they are friends or because they do not know anyone else.

After you have pared down your selection to a few names, you will need to verify the doctor’s qualifications. The first thing you will want to ascertain is how many weight loss surgeries the doctor has performed in the past. This factor is critical. Some studies have indicated that doctors who perform only a handful of weight loss surgeries per year have higher mortality rates than those who perform many weight loss surgeries yearly. Determine how long they have been conducting the surgeries and the number they perform in an average month.

The next factor you will want to ensure is if your surgeon is board-certified. Typically a surgeon is certified by the surgical board approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties. This would indicate that the doctor has completed the required number of years of residency in their field and has taken an exam to test their knowledge. Also, find out whether the doctor is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. If so, the letters, F.A.C.S. will appear printed following the doctor’s name. This means that the surgeon has sat for and passed an in-depth evaluation of both their professional and ethical standards and that they come recommended. You can ask your surgeon directly whether he or she is a member or you can call the American College of Surgeons to find out. Many surgeons are also members of additional medical societies. Their goals are to support doctors and their profession. Membership in many of these requires continuing education and the societies also provide peer reviews to help maintain their high standards.

After you have decided whether or not you are considering a well-qualified surgeon, the next thing to do is to consider the location for the performance of the surgery. Will you have your surgery in a hospital or a surgery center? For how long will you be required to remain in the facility and is the staff courteous and professional? These factors can make a big difference in the success of your hospital procedure.

Hi, Im 18, 5ft 1" and 8st (110lbs)!
I went to the doctor this evening for weight loss and healthy eating advice, as me and my boyfriend are going to Turkey in the new year and I would of liked to lose a few pounds and tone up!
He wasn’t helpful at all and gave me a presciption for this drug called Reductil. I hadn’t planned on using drugs to help me, but I was just wondering…
…What is Reductil?
I’d like to know before I take it, and the doctor obviously knows whats good for me!! But I just want to make sure!!

According to BMI calculators, your BMI is 20.8 which is at the lower end of normal weight and a doctor gave you a diet pill for the clinically obese and you think he knows whats good for you??? Reductil is NOT for use as a general slimming aid.

You can lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast, eat all you want, but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter & half an avocado a day (for added potassium). Keep the calories high & the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

The first 2 weeks eat several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers & more variety of vegetables thereafter – add 5 grams per day additional every week (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) til you gain weight, then subtract 10grams. That will be your personal carb level (everyone is different & depends on how active you are.)

Start with meat, fats & salads for 2 weeks and then slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg, wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods.

The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise the body will strip it’s own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone). The body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering calories, it will continue lowering the set point, til it can survive off nothing & store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of nutritious food.

Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) & exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.

The core of Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). Dietary fat levels need to be at >65% of total calories, if not, the body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).

It takes minimum of 3 days to convert a body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis). People feel sluggish the first week but most feel better than ever thereafter.

Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want "something" – have huge omelets with bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops smothered with peppers, mushrooms & cheese – pork rinds & dip or tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salad – steaks – a huge sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & you can start making healthy choices.

High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.

Ground flax seed (2 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg – let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 minutes. Suggested for daily fiber needs.

As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn’t gain weight, no matter the calories. Many people gain weight on high carb, do low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb & gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar & maintain weight or health.

What is the best and strongest prescribed weight loss pill that can be prescribed by a doctor?

If you are looking the best weight loss solution, i suggest doing what this mom did

Combining the best 3 diet to get the best result

I am looking for a doctor in Dallas to get a Prescription for Meridia

Friend trust me, no docotor can give u 100% gaurentee that after u loose weight u will not gain back.
for loosing weight there is only one way which is gods gift! walk or jog. start walking for 1-2 mile on the first day till 2-3 day then increase your speed of walk or jog, then increase the mile again for 2-3 days and walk or jog for 1 hours daily will help u more than any thing. Trust me. I have done it.

My friend told me about this doctor she saw in Berkeley who helped her loose weight. she dose not remember his name since it was a long time ago. She thinks his office is on Ashby and Regent street. If anyone knows about this doctor, please share info

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Your body may have gotten used to its effects, and no longer responds to the drug– this is called drug tolerance.

You should check with your doctor and tell him that the drug no longer works. He/she may adjust the dose, or switch to a different drug which may be more effective.

Has anyone ever been to Gautam Gupta? I was wondering how much he charges. Additionally I would like to know how satisfied they are with the services. Any information people can provide is great…I’ prefer personal experience.

If this is Dr Gupta who practices in WI/IL then yes I have know two people who used him for weight loss and he is very good. Not sure what he charges but his program works and is great.
