MEDICAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Evidence-based care. Individualized for you.
A medical approach to weight management
More than a prescription.
Care may include medical evaluation, nutrition and lifestyle strategies, physical activity, evidence-based medication when appropriate, and ongoing clinical support. The plan is designed to evolve as your needs change.
MEDICAL EVALUATION
Review health history, medications, prior efforts, relevant conditions, and goals.
INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN
Build treatment around your health rather than a standardized program.
MEDICATION WHEN APPROPRIATE
Consider GLP-1-based or other evidence-based therapy for eligible patients.
ONGOING MONITORING
Follow progress, side effects, response, and changing needs.
Weight management at VECTOR
Individualized. Evidence-based. Supported.
Medication when appropriate
One tool within a broader plan.
Prescription weight-management medication can be effective for appropriate patients, but it is not right for everyone. Your provider will discuss potential benefits, risks, side effects, alternatives, and monitoring before treatment.
Beyond the scale
Supporting long-term health.
Progress may also include nutrition, physical activity, sleep, metabolic health, energy, and body composition. The goal is a medically appropriate approach that supports health and can be sustained over time.
Weight management membership
Ongoing care for an ongoing process.
VECTOR offers membership options for ongoing medical weight management, including follow-up, monitoring, medication management when applicable, and continued guidance. Medications, laboratory testing, procedures, and other services may involve additional costs.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for medical weight management?
That depends on your health history, current weight and health concerns, previous efforts, medications, goals, and other clinical factors. Your provider will evaluate your individual circumstances and discuss appropriate options.
Does VECTOR prescribe GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1–based medications may be considered for appropriate patients as part of an individualized medical weight-management plan. Your provider will determine whether a particular medication is appropriate after clinical evaluation.
Is medication required?
No. Medication is one potential component of medical weight management and is recommended only when clinically appropriate. Your plan depends on your individual health, needs, and goals.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary based on the individual, treatment approach, medication when used, adherence, health factors, and other considerations. VECTOR does not promise a specific amount or rate of weight loss.
Will I need laboratory testing?
Laboratory testing may be recommended based on your medical history, symptoms, medications, and treatment plan. Your provider will determine what testing is clinically appropriate.
What happens when I reach my goal weight?
Reaching a goal does not necessarily mean that weight management ends. Your provider can work with you to develop an appropriate long-term strategy based on your health, treatment response, and individual needs.
Is a membership required?
Your initial consultation is a paid visit and does not require membership. If you decide to begin Medical Weight Management treatment afterward, membership is required. Your provider will explain what the membership includes and any additional costs for medications, laboratory testing, or other services.
Do I need to join concierge medicine for medical weight care?
No. Medical weight management is available separately from VECTOR's concierge medicine membership.
