Whether you are carrying an extra 10 pounds or in excess of 200, there is no denying you would love to take it off. Probably, you dieted in the past, only to feel exhausted and demoralized when the weight came back. Perhaps medical issues associated with excessive weight, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, have become serious factors. For anyone seeking effective, permanent weight loss, there is finally a real answer. Medi-Weightloss Clinics®, with its personalized programs created and supervised by medical experts, helps you get slim and trim while feeling healthy and energized.

“Most of my life I had been up and down the scale and had little hope then that I would ever look like the woman my husband married. After the birth of our two sons I easily put on 50 pounds, and after that the weight kept steadily increasing. There were brief periods where I would lose 20 pounds after months and months of dieting, but I could never keep it off,” said Erin Blackwell, who lost over 100 pounds with Medi-Weightloss Clinics ®. “Prior to joining Medi-Weightloss Clinics®, I had done well in other areas of my life, yet was insecure due to my weight issues. These days, I like the woman I see in the mirror and can’t wait to see what other finish lines I will cross!”

Jodi Nelson has also reached her weight goal with Medi-Weightloss Clinics®. She has lost over 75 pounds. In total, Medi-Weightloss Clinics® in Trinity has helped patients lose 15,646 pounds since October 2007! Nationwide, patients have lost over 1.5 million pounds!

Dr. Jose Pagan is the physician at Medi-Weightloss Clinics® in Trinity. “Many patients are searching for a service to help with long-term weight loss,” explained Dr. Pagan. “It’s not surprising, because over 65 percent of Americans are overweight– from children to seniors. People needed a personalized program, not just a prescription. We offer a comprehensive solution to long-term weight loss, including support in keeping the weight off.”

Dr. Pagan and his staff of medical professionals witness the success of Medi-Weightloss Clinics ® every day. “It’s very gratifying to help people get healthy and stay healthy,” observed Mary Anne Levine, Nurse Practitioner. “Because our program is physician supervised, we create a custom diet that will help reduce hunger, boost energy and burn fat faster. Also, we offer our exclusive, nutritional Signature Supplements and products in addition to vitamin B6 and B12 injections for energy.”

Typical weight loss on the program is significant. The average patient loses 7 pounds the first week and 2-3 pounds each week there after for the first month. Many patients receive benefits beyond weight loss. When you lose weight, you lower your blood pressure, bad cholesterol and the risk of heart disease or stroke. Being overweight increases the risk of developing many diseases, including sleep apnea and diabetes.

Your first visit will last about two hours and includes a bariatric examination and comprehensive medical history, along with a physical, EKG, blood work and a weight and BMI measurement. The unique body composition scale measures weight in terms of fat, muscle and water. Each week, you will see how much water and fat weight you have lost, in addition to increases or decreases in muscle mass.
