Weight Loss

Weight loss isn’t only about the way you look; it’s often vital for your health and longevity. Being overweight or obese can lead to a number of women’s health issues like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia during pregnancy. Extra weight can also increase your risk for problems like uterine fibroids and endometrial polyps. Candace Gates, MD, and Crystal Welch, MD, at Oasis Women’s Wellness Center in Atlanta, Georgia, create weight loss solutions that work for you, including medication and customized diet plans, to help you take control of your health and future.

Can I get weight loss medication?

Yes, Oasis Women’s Wellness Center offers weight loss medication for qualifying patients. To qualify for weight loss medication, you typically need to be clinically obese or overweight with health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Only adults can take weight loss medication, and you need to have a healthy heart to take this kind of medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy weight for me?

Oasis Women’s Wellness Center can calculate a healthy weight for you using a tool called the body mass index (BMI). Your BMI uses your weight and height to calculate your body fat. If you have a BMI of 18.5-24.9, you have a healthy body weight. A BMI of 25-29.9 means you’re overweight, and a BMI of 30 or greater means you’re clinically obese.

If you’re overweight or obese, you don’t have to stay that way any longer. Oasis Women’s Wellness Center offers a medical weight loss plan that includes all the support and guidance you need to lose weight and improve your health. This can help you fight a range of women’s health issues, including fibroids and pregnancy problems.

How does weight loss medication work?

Weight loss medication can work in a few different ways. It may:

Decrease your appetite
Make you feel full
Prevent you from absorbing fats

Although weight loss medication can be very helpful for many women, it’s not the only thing you need to do to lose weight. Changing your eating habits is integral to your success in the medical weight loss program at Oasis Women’s Wellness Center.

What kind of diet plan should I use to lose weight?

Oasis Women’s Wellness Center doesn’t believe in crash diets because they offer only short-term results. Instead, they focus on sustainable healthy changes. Altering the way you choose and prepare food is key when you’re losing weight. This generally means more proteins, less processed foods, and lots of fresh foods.

The diet plan is personalized based on patient needs, so if you have health problems requiring you to avoid certain food, it’s not a problem.
