Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.'s)

What makes the weight loss programs at the Southern California Weight Loss Institute so effective?

Our success in weight management results from the individual attention we give to our patients. Our Board Certified Physicians will design a personalized weight loss program for each participant. The exact program that we provide for you will depend on your weight loss goals, current lifestyle, existing medical conditions and other factors that will be unique to your situation. Our physicians will meet with each participant regularly to closely monitor their progress and to make any needed adjustments. In this way, we insure your safety and enhance the effectiveness of your specific weight loss program.

Can I keep the weight off after I leave the program?

Maintaining your weight loss is one of the primary goals at the Southern California Weight Loss Institute. Throughout the program, educational tools are available to assist you with your weight loss program. After the active weight loss phase of the program, we transition you to a weight maintenance phase. Even upon completion of the weight loss program, periodic visits are scheduled with our physicians to assess your future weight status and to help insure that the weight loss is maintained.

Are medications prescribed?

Each program is individually designed to meet the participant's weight loss needs. Medications such as appetite suppressants may be prescribed as well if the participant is a candidate. These issues are discussed in detail by your treating physician.

How long are the weight loss programs?

The exact duration of the program will depend on your weight loss goals, current lifestyle, existing medical conditions and other factors that will be unique to your situation. However, some programs may be as short as 6 weeks in duration.

What payment options do I have?

There are several payment plans to help make weight loss affordable for almost everyone. Financing with flexible terms may be available to cover the cost of treatment. When you apply for financing, you usually have a decision in minutes. Also, many participants opt to pay for their treatment using a personal credit card. This may be a good option, especially if you have a card that carries a low interest rate, offers points or rewards.
