Medical weight loss programs are different from commercial programs because they're customized to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Your physician will prescribe a combination of a low-calorie diet plan, and hormone injections or prescription-strength appetite suppressants as well as possibley recommending undergoing gastric bypass surgery and other types of bariatric surgery to help you achieve a healthy weight. You may be required to meet with your physician once a week so he or she can monitor your progress and tweak the program if needed.
