Just as gastric bypass, duodenal switch and gastric sleeve surgeries induce weight loss, there are also weight loss programs that do not include surgery.  Yes, many people struggling with obesity turn to non-surgical weight loss on their own only to experience very disappointing results.  The difference in Dr. LeGrand’s and Heartland Weight Loss Clinic’s non-surgical weight loss program is its methods have been proven with medical research and patients are consistently monitored for safety.  

Heartland Weight Loss Clinic’s non-surgical weight loss program includes: 

• Reducing calorie intake using an appetite suppressant medication

• Increasing metabolism and overall health with vitamin B12 injections, vitamin optimization and protein supplements
• Monitoring progress with muscle, water and fat composition measurements
• Adjusting the program to meet the participant’s needs
• Maintain weight loss for the long term

Some insurance plans require that patients attempt a non-surgical weight loss program prior to receiving a surgical weight loss procedure.  Many patients resort to a non-surgical weight loss program because they are uncomfortable with the idea of having a surgery.  Almost all Heartland Weight Loss Clinic surgical patients are required to follow portions, if not all of, its non-surgical weight loss program.  When paired together, surgery and a weight loss program increase a patient’s success and help them maintain their new, healthy lifestyle.  Regardless of which type of patient you are, Heartland Weight Loss Clinic’s team be accessible and supportive through your weight loss journey.

Heartland Weight Loss Clinic offers two types of non-surgical weight loss programs, a medically guided program and health coaching.  Many people struggling with obesity have attempted weight loss on their own only to experience very disappointing results.  The difference in Heartland Weight Loss Clinic’s non-surgical weight loss programs is that their methods have been proven with medical research, they’re customized for individual patients and all participants are consistently monitored for safety.

Yes, we offer Semaglutide as a non-surgical weight loss plan.  Our first three-month series of injections costs only $386 vs. $1,000 that other practices charge.  Once the initial three months of injections have been administered, pricing is subject to change.  Semaglutide is administered once a week.  Each consecutive dose is increased until the maintenance dose is reached nine to sixteen weeks into the series.  Some patients do not experience weight loss until six to eight weeks of injections are received.

Semaglutide is a modified GLP1 molecule that our bodies make.  When administered, it reduces appetite, blood sugars and food cravings yet leaving the patient feeling full.  The feeling of fullness causes patients to consume less food leading to weight loss, shrinking waist measurements, decreased blood pressure, lower blood sugars and reduced inflammation.

Semaglutide was originally developed as a diabetic medication branded as Ozempic®.  Later, it was discovered to help people lose weight when administered in higher doses.  The medication is referred to as Semaglutide when administered for weight loss.   

Our non-surgical weight loss patients using Semaglutide have appreciated:

Yes, we offer Biotin (also known as Vitamin B7 or H) injections. Many of our surgical and non-surgical weight loss patients take Biotin to promote hair growth. They experience noticeable improvements not only in their overall hair growth but also how healthy their hair becomes. Biotin injections can be given without participating in a surgical or nonsurgical weight loss program.

Biotin has also been associated with weight loss by increasing patients’ metabolism. For that reason, some patients choose to pair it with other weight loss medications.

We have offered Vitamin B12 injections with our non-surgical weight loss plans since opening in January 2021. We recommend that patients pair Vitamin B12 injections with an appetite suppressant to reduce calorie intake and following a customized nutrition and fitness plan for optimal results.

Mega-Burn features a number of vitamins that help patients metabolize carbohydrates and fats. The vitamins it offers are methionine, inositol, choline, B-complex vitamins (B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6, B-9) along with L-carnitine and Vitamin C. These vitamins and nutrients promote breakdown of stored vat, decreased fat cell production while detoxifying the liver and lowering cholesterol levels. Mega-Burn has also been associated with increased energy levels, muscle gain, reduced appetite and boosting patient immunity.

Yes, we offer Mega-Burn injections alone and paired with phentermine and other weight loss medications for enhanced weight loss.

When paired with a healthy nutrition and exercise plan, Vitamin B12 injections can aid patients in managing their weight.  Vitamin B12 is known to raise energy levels, increase mental focus, improve sleep, boost moods and power the immune system.  All of these improvements may encourage increased physical stamina.  When a patient has more stamina for exercise and daily activities, they are more likely to reach their weight loss goals.
