ThinfastDear Interested Patient, Thank you for your interest in Thinfast! Thinfast and its staff assists patients in losing weight and achieving their goals by placing them on a medical weight loss management program. To begin the program, you come in for an initial consultation and at that time we complete an EKG; comprehensive lab work, which looks at your thyroid, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels; then you will have a physical related to weight loss by one of our doctors. They will review your health history with you and determine, based on your physical and test results, which program works the best for you. We currently have multiple programs, and different medications available to our patients. We even have a machine to check your metabolism and fat/water percent. As this is a supervised weight loss program, we have our patients visit on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis depending on the patient's progress in the program. During these “follow-up” visits, we monitor the patient’s weight loss, blood pressure, pulse . In addition, we go over any questions you may have and review their daily food and exercise journal. We also have weekly lectures in the office or streaming live on the internet that can be viewed from the comfort of you home. These behavior modification lectures are extremely beneficial in order to change your life. For those patients who do not have health insurance the initial consultation is a one-time fee of $195.00, which includes the office visit, the physical by a Doctor and all the testing, including the lab fees. The cost of medication or supplements are extra. Medication ranges in price from $5-15 per medication per week, and Optifast supplements start from $2.75 per meal replacement. The follow-up visits can range between $45.00-$65.00 per week plus the cost of medication. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you! Thinfast M.D. and Staff
