What to Expect During Your First Medical Weight Loss Visit

Starting a medical weight loss program can feel uncertain. At Modern Wellness Clinic in Summerlin, Las Vegas, we make the first visit straightforward, thorough, and judgment-free. Here’s exactly what happens.

Step 1: Intake and Health History

Your provider reviews your complete medical history, current medications, previous weight loss attempts, and your goals. We want to understand what has and hasn’t worked before.

Step 2: Comprehensive Lab Work

We draw blood for a full metabolic panel, hormone levels (testosterone, thyroid, estrogen, insulin), inflammatory markers, and lipid panel. See our Lab Work service page for what we test. Results are typically available within 24–48 hours.

Step 3: Provider Consultation

Your provider reviews your labs with you in detail — not just a printout. We identify the underlying drivers of your weight and build a plan accordingly. This may include GLP-1 therapy with semaglutide or tirzepatide, hormone optimization through BHRT or TRT, nutritional and lifestyle guidance, and regular follow-up check-ins with dose adjustments.

Step 4: Starting Your Program

If medically appropriate, we start your GLP-1 medication the same day or once labs confirm eligibility. We’re available for follow-up questions between appointments.

We offer programs for both women and men. We also offer telehealth for added convenience. Book your first visit at Modern Wellness Clinic in Summerlin, Las Vegas today.
