Medical Weight Loss Q&A

What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss encompasses services that support consistent and safe weight loss in overweight and obese adults.

Maine Mobile Health and Virtual Care offers personalized medical weight loss services through a confidential telemedicine platform, so you can get the guidance and support you need without leaving home.

Jamie provides lifestyle and diet recommendations to help you shed excess fat and maintain a healthy body weight. She also prescribes GLP-1 medications to regulate blood sugar levels, suppress cravings, and reduce appetite.

Why should I consider medical weight loss?

Losing even a small percentage of extra weight can significantly reduce risk factors for obesity-related conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Maintaining a healthy body mass index (BMI) also reduces pressure on your joints, helping to prevent osteoarthritis and other chronic pain conditions.

Maine Mobile Health and Virtual Care’s medical weight loss services help you overcome challenges that make losing weight difficult, even with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

For instance, you may struggle to lose weight if you have conditions like diabetes or hypertension (high blood pressure). Aging can also affect how your body stores fat and burns calories.

With Jamie’s guidance, you can identify and address the underlying factors that contribute to your weight. She also provides personalized primary care to address existing health conditions that require treatment.

What can I expect from a medical weight loss program?

During your initial consultation, Jamie reviews your medical history and completes a comprehensive health assessment. She also discusses your weight loss goals and creates a management plan with you to support safe and efficient weight loss.

If you’re a candidate for weight loss medicines, including GLP-1 medication, Jamie electronically sends a prescription to your preferred pharmacy or can have the medicines mailed to your home. She also teaches you how to use the medications correctly.

Follow-up visits are available through the telemedicine platform. You can expect to meet with Jamie frequently in the first several months, allowing her to monitor your weight loss progress and make medication adjustments as necessary.
