Medical supervision

I have been asked to speak by Dr. Jennifer King at her office the evening of March 17th about medically supervised weight loss. At the end of the day, I want people to walk away from this discussion knowing that there are many health conditions that can be treated with weight loss, i.e. Diabetes Mellitus type 2, heart disease, hypertension, and arthritis. There are also some health conditions that require close monitoring due to the multiple medications that may need frequent dose adjustment or cessation with weight loss. Finally, those patients who are pregnant, nursing, have had a recent heart attack or stroke, really need close supervision so that there isn't a bad outcome from there attempts at weight loss.

My posting in June 2009 also discusses this more so please reference this. Finally if there are any questions, please call the office at 480=-949-9047 and ask Melissa for more information. We look forward to helping you Change Your Weighs.
