The Joy of Permanent Weight Loss

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Whether you are carrying an extra 10 pounds or more than 200, there is no denying you would love to take it off. Probably, you dieted in the past—only to feel exhausted and demoralized when the weight came back. Perhaps medical issues associated with excessive weight such as high blood pressure or diabetes have become serious factors. For everyone seeking safe, permanent weight loss, there is finally a real answer. The Medi-Weightloss Clinic, with its personalized programs—created and supervised by medical experts— helps you get slim and trim while feeling healthy and energized.

"I feel energy like I hadn’t in years," confirmed Alisa Feliciano, young mother of two. "I had health issues before and would talk with my doctors about weight but never got answers. Medi-Weightloss’s plan resulted in weight loss and health benefits."

Kris Martin agreed. Tanned and confident, she radiated health. "I’m down 29 pounds since the end of July," she shared. "Before, my weight would yo-yo and I tried all the diets. Medi-Weightloss made a plan that fits my lifestyle with a husband, four children, and a busy career as a Realtor™."

Set in Richmond’s West End, Medi -Weightloss Clinic came about as a result of the experiences of Dr. Danny Shaban and Dr. Thomas Mead, both OB-GYNs at Dominion Women’s Health.

"Many patients were searching for a service to help with long-term weight loss," explained Dr. Shaban. "It’s not surprising, because over 65 percent of Americans are overweight—from children to seniors. We saw that people needed a personalized program, not just a prescription. Medi-Weight Loss Clinic is an FDA-approved wellness program which offers professional medical guidance."

Nicole Bentivegna and Rebecca Brobston are nurse practitioners who see Medi-Weightloss Clinic’s success every day. "Personally, it’s very gratifying to help people get healthy and stay healthy," observed Rebecca.

"Because we are medical professionals we understand the human body," continued Nicole. "Working with nutritionists, we create a custom diet that will help reduce hunger, boost energy and burn fat faster. Also, we offer our exclusive nutritional supplements and products along with vitamin B6 and B12 injections for energy."

Gary Dula, broker at Remax Action Real Estate, sought help at the end of June. "I weighed 245 pounds and now I’m at 193," he said. "It’s amazing—and I dropped a hundred points in my cholesterol and sleep better."

"That’s not unusual," explained Dr. Shaban. "Our Wellness Program can help with other medical issues. When you lose weight, you lower your blood pressure, bad cholesterol and the risk of heart disease or stroke."

Your first visit will last about two hours and include a bariatric examination and medical history—along with a physical, EKG, blood work, and a weight and BMI measurement.

"Our Tanita scale measures weight in terms of fat, muscle and water. Each week, we’ll see how much water and fat weight you’ve lost," continued Nicole.

Most people average an impressive weight loss of three to five pounds a week. "It’s a healthy weight loss, with a high percentage of fat," pointed out Dr. Shaban, who has found Medi-Weightloss to be a blessing in his own family.

"About eight family members lost weight, including my mother who lost 25 pounds," he smiled. "She looks incredible—and with our dedication to lasting weight loss, she’ll stay looking incredible."
