In efforts to protect our employees and reduce the spread of COVID-19 due to the recent increase in the number of positive cases effective immediately WEIGHT NO MORE offices will be closed to walk-in traffic. WEIGHT NO MORE is reimplementing the online procedure for returning patients who are able to take their own blood pressure.
HOW TO OBTAIN A MEDICATION REFILL:
1. Check your blood pressure at home or at your local store/pharmacy where machines are available. Save this information for your medical provider.
2. Complete the "Medication Refill Request" form located below. Please let the practitioner know your current weight and blood pressure. Please let the practitioner know if you have any medical changes or questions to be answered.
3. A staff member will pull your chart for the medical provider to review.
4. Some clients will need a phone interview or will need to be seen in person by the medical provider. (Office staff will call you to make arrangements if needed.) Should you need to be seen in person or come into the office a face mask will be required.
5. Upon approval your medications will be mailed to you. Special arrangements will be made for medication pick up if we are unable to mail the medications.
6. You can provide your credit card information over the phone for the medications or online with your refill request. If you would like to pay in cash this can be arranged. At this time we would prefer credit card payments to practice our best “social distancing” and reduce the possible spread of COVID-19.
NEW PATIENTS:
1. Please complete the online packet and return via email. Office staff will then call you to make an appointment. If you are unable to download a packet online please call your office of choice and arrangements can be made. When you arrive for your appointment please know a face mask will be required.
WEIGHT NO MORE thanks you for your understanding of these changes and is working diligently so you can continue your weight loss goals during these times of uncertainty. Please remain hydrated, make healthy food choices, and most importantly be safe.
Weight loss and lifestyle changes are among the greatest challenges we face. WEIGHT NO MORE can help make the weight loss process easier.
Appetite suppressant medications act in part by stimulating that part of your nervous system that prepares your body for action. These physiologic changes can include raising your blood pressure and pulse. A rise in a persons pulse can be felt, but not increases in blood pressure. Increases in blood pressure can cause damage to your heart kidneys and vascular system. So it is very important to monitor your blood pressure at home, as well as at our clinics. We urge our clients to purchase a home blood pressure machine and check their blood pressure at least weekly. If you were on any blood pressure medications, you should check your blood pressure more often. A reliable device can be purchased at most pharmacies, Walmart, and many big box stores. Make sure that the machine comes with a cuff that fits your arm. The cuff size will be indicated on the box. This will require you to measure the circumference of your upper arm, above the elbow, before you buy the device. Apply the cuff to your arm as described in the directions that come with it. Take your blood pressure while reclining and when you’re not excited and are relaxed. Record the date and the pressure so that it can be compared over time. Please call us if you have any questions or concerns about your blood pressure. But always contact your family physician as well. And always inform all your medical providers when you are taking appetite suppressant medications.
It is our mission to help you achieve safe effective and affordable weight loss.
Thank You!
