Medically Managed Weight Loss in Seattle

About Medically Managed Weight Loss

Medically managed weight loss takes a customized and holistic approach that puts the patient first. At Center for Weight Loss Surgery, candidates work with the clinicians, Dr. Myur Srikanth, M.D., and Karli Berry, ARNP, to develop a tailored program based on their individual goals, body composition and nutritional intake.

These programs combine effective medications with regular exercise, diet changes and behavioral modifications. Many patients qualify with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kilograms weight/square meter of height (30kg/m2). If there are other weight-related medical conditions, patients may also qualify with a BMI between 27 and 29.9.

It’s important to remember that medication is not a substitute for lifestyle changes and physical activity. Instead, they all work hand in hand, helping meaningful, sustainable and significant weight loss. Consultation with the clinicians is essential to determine the best approach.

Why Consider Nonsurgical Weight Loss Options?

Weight loss options without surgery offer many appealing benefits, including:

• Noninvasive: No surgery is required. Most patients carry on without any interruptions to their normal activities throughout their medically supervised program.
• Convenient: Many patients find nonsurgical options more convenient and easier to adapt to their schedule.
• Effective: Medications, when taken as directed and under the supervision of the clinicians, are safe and effective. These treatments help make weight loss achievable when combined with lifestyle changes.

Outcomes and Advantages of Medically Managed Weight Loss

Once the program begins, patients attend regular check-ins to help promote accountability and to monitor results. Our clinicians will also adjust a patient’s plan as needed to help them attain their goals and achieve better health.

Research shows that a weight loss of 5 – 10% of total body weight can:

• Reduce potential development of cardiovascular disease and slow pre-diabetes progression
• Help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, possibly eliminating the need for medications to control those
• Help with sleep apnea
• Improve memory
• Enhance mobility and flexibility and reduce pain
• Boost self-confidence
