Medical Weight Loss Specialist in San Antonio, TX

At Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness, we offer medical weight loss as a comprehensive, physician-supervised approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Unlike standard diet plans or commercial programs, our medical weight loss solutions are tailored specifically to your unique health needs and personal goals. Our experienced team—including board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered dietitians—guides you every step of the way.

Your journey with us begins with a thorough evaluation. We review your medical history, conduct a physical examination, perform laboratory testing, and assess your lifestyle to gain a full understanding of your health. This information allows us to develop a personalized plan designed just for you.

What sets medical weight loss apart is our evidence-based approach. We address the root causes of weight gain by incorporating a range of strategies, such as prescription weight loss medications, meal replacements, behavioral counseling, and regular progress monitoring. Our medical team also manages and adjusts treatments for chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and thyroid disorders that may be affecting your weight.

Beyond just helping you shed pounds, our program at Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness provides ongoing support, education, and accountability. We are committed to helping you make sustainable lifestyle changes for long-term health—no fad diets, no quick fixes.

At Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness, we offer personalized medical weight loss programs designed for individuals who have struggled to achieve significant weight loss with traditional diet and exercise alone. Ideal candidates for our program often have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.

Our medically supervised approach is especially beneficial for those who need expert guidance due to complex medical histories or medications that affect weight. At Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness, our team of experienced healthcare professionals works closely with you to develop a customized plan that addresses your unique needs, lifestyle, and health goals.

Participants in our weight loss program benefit from ongoing support, regular monitoring, and evidence-based strategies to help them make sustainable changes to their nutrition, physical activity, and daily routines. We are committed to providing compassionate care and long-term support to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight.

At Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness, our medical providers use a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to develop the most effective weight loss plan for each individual. Your journey begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination conducted by our experienced team. We assess your overall health—including age, current weight, body mass index (BMI), and any existing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, or heart disease. Our providers also take into account your family medical history, prior weight loss efforts, lifestyle habits, dietary preferences, physical activity levels, and any medications you may be taking that could affect your weight.

To gain a deeper understanding of your unique needs, we may recommend laboratory tests to evaluate for metabolic or hormonal imbalances, as well as to monitor cholesterol, blood sugar, and thyroid function. Our team also considers psychological factors, such as emotional health, eating behaviors, and your readiness to make lifestyle changes. This thorough assessment helps us identify any potential barriers to weight loss and ensures that all underlying health issues are addressed.

With this comprehensive information, our Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness providers work closely with you to establish realistic, achievable weight loss goals. Every plan is personalized and may include tailored nutritional guidance, structured exercise programs, behavior modification strategies, and—when appropriate—medication management or referrals to specialists.

Our medically supervised weight loss programs provide a personalized, evidence-based approach to helping you achieve and maintain a healthier weight. Under the guidance of our experienced medical team, you’ll benefit from a comprehensive plan that may include dietary modifications, tailored exercise recommendations, behavioral support, and—when appropriate—medications or meal replacements.

While individual results vary, most patients at Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness can expect to lose approximately 5% to 10% of their starting body weight within three to six months. For example, if you begin at 200 pounds, a realistic goal is a loss of 10 to 20 pounds during this timeframe. Research shows that even this modest weight reduction can significantly improve key health indicators, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels—even if you don’t reach your “ideal” weight right away.

Our programs are designed for safety and sustainability. You may notice more rapid weight loss during the initial weeks, especially if meal replacements or significant calorie reductions are part of your plan. As your body adapts, weight loss tends to slow, but our focus remains on gradual, lasting changes—not quick fixes.

Beyond the numbers on the scale, our team at Lone Star Center for Health and Wellness is dedicated to empowering you with lifelong tools for success. You’ll learn practical strategies for making healthier food choices, increasing your daily physical activity, and managing triggers for overeating. Many of our patients also report improvements in energy, mobility, and overall quality of life as they progress through the program.
