VISIT

Studies show
that regular follow-up visits for guidance and motivation are
important for success.
The first follow-up visit
is two weeks after the initial visit. At this time, side-effects of
the appetite suppressant, if prescribed, are assessed. Compliance
with the recommended diet is also reviewed. This visit is important
to correct errors in taking the diet pills or following the diet as
early as possible. Occasionally, the patient is asked to return in
one week to monitor for hypertension, diabetes or any condition that
could be affected by the prescribed diet.
Patients on the the liquid protein diet need to
come every week. Patients on the modified fasting diet (3-4 shakes
and a meal) may return every two weeks.
The consultation fee includes any
one of the following:
1. 15-day supply of appetite suppressants
if appropriate
2. 2 boxes of protein supplements
3. 15-day supply of amino acid tablets
4. 15-day of water pills if appropriate
one session of acupuncture
