Weight-loss program

For the initial weight assessment visit, your MinuteClinic® provider will review your medical history and perform a risk assessment. La evaluación incluye una revisión de sus signos vitales, medición de circunferencia de cintura y cálculo de su índice de masa corporal (IMC).

1. Prior to scheduling your visit, you may have to answer a few questions to help us prepare for your visit.

2. Check-in varies depending on how you scheduled your appointment:



Si hizo su cita en línea:
Regístrese con el correo electrónico o mensaje de texto que le enviamos para confirmar su cita. Si prefiere registrarse en el quiosco electrónico, asegúrese de tener su código de confirmación.

Si hizo su cita en la clínica:
Inicie sesión en el quiosco electrónico.

3. When it's time for your appointment, a provider will call your name.

4. Your provider will conduct a thorough examination based on your reason for visit, presenting symptoms and health history. Los cargos dependerán del examen y los servicios prestados durante la visita.

5. At the end of your visit, you are provided with a visit summary, receipt and educational material about your diagnosis. Si usted lo solicita, podemos enviarle información sobre su consulta a su profesional de la salud de cabecera.

During your one-on-one consultation, your MinuteClinic® provider will review your lifestyle, discuss your weight-loss goals and check your physical health. Con base en la información que obtenga, creará un plan de pérdida de peso personalizado para ayudarle a bajar de peso y mejorar su estado de salud general.

The MinuteClinic® Weight-Loss Program involves follow-up visits for you to receive personalized coaching and medical evaluations to help you along on your weight-loss journey. La clave para el éxito es el apoyo continuo de su programa de pérdida de peso.

La cantidad y frecuencia de las sesiones de asesoramiento se adaptarán según sus necesidades particulares. Your MinuteClinic® provider will check your vital signs and perform any assessment and testing based on your needs. Analizaremos juntos su progreso y lo asesoraremos para que siga disfrutando los beneficios de salud del programa.

MinuteClinic® providers can prescribe weight-loss medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - such as Orlistat and GLP-1s,* including Liraglutide and Semaglutide - to patients who meet eligibility criteria. GLP-1s are an FDA-approved class of medication used to lower glucose levels and manage metabolism in affected patients.

Eligibility criteria includes: 

• BMI ≥ 30 kg or ≥ 27 kg to 29.9 kg with comorbidities 
• An inability to meet weight-loss goals of at least five percent of total body weight after three to six months with diet and lifestyle changes

GLP-1 agonists mimic the effects of a natural hormone. This hormone tells your body to make more insulin, lowering your blood sugar. Health care professionals don't know exactly how GLP-1 medications help people lose weight, but they believe it's because GLP-1s curb your appetite.

You can get prescription weight-loss medications by meeting with a health care provider.

Be prepared to discuss your goals and share information about your personal medical history. Your provider will also ask you about your family history of certain medical conditions.

MinuteClinic® also prescribes GLP-1 medications as part of our weight-loss program, making it more convenient to address weight-related concerns.

Before taking weight-loss medications, it's important to change your diet and add more exercise into your lifestyle. However, not everyone who makes these adjustments can lose a substantial amount of weight.

If you haven't met your goals after three to six months of following our weight-loss program, you may be eligible for one of the following GLP-1 weight-loss drugs:

• Liraglutide
• Orlistat
• Semaglutide
