RESET Medical Weight Loss

Studies have shown that only 5% of individuals are able to gather information and take action on a plan for weight loss on their own. That leaves the remaining 95% of individuals needing more education, guidance, and accountability on their weight loss journey. This is where having a professional, trained medical team on your side comes into play and helps ensure your success.

The team of medical professionals at Belle Visage Medical Aesthetics consists of a board-certified physician (MD), a board-certified nurse practitioner (NP), and a Ph.D. with an extensive background in preventive medicine and weight loss, specializing in functional and integrative nutritional approaches as well as epigenetic approaches to reversing illness and achieving wellness. They have more than 75 years of direct patient care experience between them

You can begin the process by booking your first visit. A deposit for this visit will be collected. You will be given the appropriate lab slips so that you may schedule your labs as soon as possible since the lab results need to be available for your first visit with your Provider. 

• One thing that will be helpful is to download a free app such as My Fitness Pal (do not pay for Premium!) and begin to track the types and quantities of food that you eat every day. You do not need to try and “restrict” anything at this point. This will help you understand the number of calories you are actually consuming and establish a baseline from which to learn and grow as you move forward in your understanding of the macronutrients that make up the foods that you eat.
• Turn on the Activity Tracker on your iPhone or Apple Watch and start counting your steps. You may prefer a Fitbit or an Oura Ring or even an old-fashioned pedometer! Any of these are fine. None of these are required for participation, but only help you better fine-tune your weight loss plan

Lab evaluation gives your team important information about your current health status, thus allowing us to develop a truly customized comprehensive plan to address any underlying health issues. Our #1 goal is to help you optimize your overall health, not just lose weight. We have included the cost of these labs in your initial evaluation for your convenience, so there are no additional lab fees to get started.

Our lab panel is designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your current health situation by evaluating such things as your lipids, cardiovascular risk profile, thyroid function, vitamins, minerals, and hormone status. This allows us to help customize your plan and track progress along the way.

Belle Visage Medical Aesthetics contracts with Quest Labs because they have provided us with lab pricing that is cheaper than what would be charged by your insurance plan. Since weight loss is generally not covered by insurance, we find this to be the most cost-effective method for our patients. There are numerous Quest Lab locations available across the DFW metroplex for your convenience.

During your first visit, the Provider will be performing a medical clearance exam and reviewing the results of your lab work. Cardiovascular and metabolic syndrome risk factors will be identified so that these may be addressed during customized nutritional support visits. Weight, body measurements, pictures, and your first bioimpedance analysis will be taken during this visit. An EKG will be done for those with identified cardiovascular risk factors. We will help you decide which of the 6-month treatment plans might work best for you.

At Belle Visage , our mission is to provide you with the best care possible. In order to do so, we do not accept insurance. In most instances, insurance will not cover the cost of weight loss. You may check with your FSA or HSA account managers to see if they will cover portions of the expense.

We never share any personal health information with anyone, unless you ask us to do so. The patient always has the right to sign a release of information form and tell us where they would like their information sent. Once this has been done, we will only share the specific information you requested.

Weight loss can be successful with diet and exercise alone, especially when working with a multidisciplinary weight loss team. However, some people do better with additional help. We do offer prescription medications that are proven to help with appetite control. You may discuss this with one of our Medical Providers. These medications are not included in the cost of the program but the prescription may be covered by your personal health insurance plan.

Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) are similar to personal savings accounts. These accounts can only be used for qualifying medical expenses. Certain FSA and HSA plans may reimburse the cost of a weight loss program for treating obesity. In some cases, plan administrators consider medical weight loss programs as eligible expenses, and patients may qualify for partial reimbursement or full reimbursement. Check with your plan administrator if you would like to use an FSA or HSA account to pay for RESET products and services. Each individual’s plan is different, so the first step is to determine whether weight loss products or services can be reimbursed under that particular plan. In the case of obesity or underlying medical issues, your doctor may need to write an order for you to participate in a controlled weight loss program.

For maximum success, the RESET program has been designed around a 6-month program. Since achieving optimum health takes time to learn new habits, it is strongly recommended you follow the 6-month outline. This allows sufficient time to engrain new habits.

Yes. For most, it is ideal to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. Those with more weight to lose may lose weight faster. We not only monitor your overall weight loss but we monitor your overall body fat loss while optimizing your lean muscle mass. This combination is essential for long-term success. Some patients may benefit from adding additional 6-month segments to their program. There is no limit to the number of 6-month programs that you may choose to do. Adding on additional segments will allow you time to take a deeper dive into your nutrition and overall health status and optimize your overall results.
