Description
The initial consult involves a focused medical evaluation for diseases related to obesity and causative factors, along with a physical examination we will obtain a weight history, which includes past diet attempts. Complete blood work to diagnose metabolic diseases associated with obesity will be ordered. Typically patients will obtain an EKG and a physical exam. We will also determine your RMR. The resting metabolic rate is the rate our body expends energy at rest. It is important because any calorie intake above this resting metabolic rate is stored as fat by your body. Expiration date: 4/1/2015
