No, on your initial visit with your licensed provider, in addition to reviewing your health history and goals, your clinician will order any necessary lab work. This step ensures your suitability for our program and to determine which medications would be most optimal for your weight management.
The required labs typically encompass a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1C), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and a lipid panel. If you've had these labs completed within the past 24 months, you may not need labs ordered during your initial consultation, but this decision will be made by your provider.
