Frequently Asked Questions About BariatricPal's GLP-1 Weight Loss Program How does BariatricPal's Weight Loss Program work? BariatricPal offers a comprehensive and convenient solution for weight loss through our telehealth platform. Our process is designed to be straightforward yet thorough, ensuring you receive personalized care tailored to your needs. Here’s how you can start your journey towards a healthier lifestyle with us in three easy steps: Complete the Eligibility Quiz: First, take our eligibility quiz. Telehealth Appointment: You'll have a telehealth consultation with your new healthcare provider to discuss your health and treatment options. Medication Delivery: If it's medically appropriate, you'll receive your medication directly from our mail-order pharmacy provider every 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on your provider's decision. We aim to foster a long-term relationship between you and your provider, offering ongoing care tailored to your needs. The BariatricPal GLP-1 Weight Loss Program is crafted for those seeking a sustainable, long-term solution to weight management. Is the program confidential? Absolutely. Your privacy is paramount to us. Only our medical team and prescribers can access your medical data and order history. For more details on how we protect your information, please refer to our Privacy Policy. Do I need a prescription? No pre-existing prescription is required. If you're eligible for treatment following your consultation, our medical team will issue you a private prescription. This streamlines the process, allowing you to focus on your health and progress without the hassle. How much does the BariatricPal Medical Weight Loss Program cost? We offer a customized prescription plan designed specifically for you, guided by our experienced doctors. The first month costs $247, including your medical telehealth consultation, a month's supply of weight loss medication (GLP1-s), and shipping directly to your home. For subsequent months, the cost is $297. How often will I receive a shipment? Your medication will be shipped promptly after our doctors review your progress and renew your prescription.

NEW GLP-1 Program at BariatricPal!
Alex Brecher replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Weight Loss Medications & Popular Diets
Once you've consulted with our Telehealth team and determined that you’re eligible for treatment, our medical team will issue you a private prescription directly. This means you won't need to obtain a prescription from your doctor or take it to a pharmacy yourself; we streamline the process to make it as convenient for you as possible. We do not currently coordinate directly with insurance companies. -

Great questions! HSA/FSA Payments: Payments made through HSA and FSA cards are not accepted. However, we are working on integrating this payment method in the near future, as it is currently in the product roadmap. About the Medications: We're excited to start offering compounded Semaglutide and plan to soon include compounded Tirzepatide. The decision to initially provide compounded options stems from our commitment to affordability without compromising quality. As the prices of branded versions become more accessible, we'll be sure to include them as well. Quality and Safety Standards: The pharmacies within the BariatricPal network uphold the highest standards of quality and safety, adhering to regulations set by state boards of pharmacy, the FDA, the DEA, and the USP Convention. This includes strict compliance with USP General Chapter 795 to ensure our compounded medications' safety, potency, and quality. Each batch of compounded Semaglutide undergoes rigorous quality assurance and control checks, including: Verification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Certificate of Analysis from FDA-registered manufacturers. Aseptic compounding processes to produce specific lots. Independent third-party laboratory testing for potency, sterility, and endotoxicity. Unique lot numbering and electronic tracking for dispensing. Post-Bariatric Surgery Considerations: The timing for starting GLP-1 medications post-bariatric surgery is a personalized decision that should be discussed with your bariatric surgeon or one of our telehealthcare providers. Individual needs and recovery processes vary, making it essential to tailor this aspect of your care to your specific situation. -

FDA approval of new anti obesity med
Alex Brecher replied to GreenTealael's topic in Weight Loss Medications & Popular Diets
Absolutely, the FDA's approval of Eli Lilly's Zepbound™ (tirzepatide) is a game-changer in weight management! It's the first medication that works on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, making it a novel addition to obesity treatments. Clinical trials have been impressive, with participants losing an average of 22.5% of their body weight. For many, this could be a transformative non-surgical alternative that might reduce or even eliminate the need for bariatric surgery. That said, it's important to consider the potential side effects, which can be quite serious, as well as its high cost—although Eli Lilly is working to increase accessibility. As this medication rolls out, it could redefine treatment plans, offering a new, potent tool for weight loss both before and after bariatric surgery. It's an exciting time for both patients and healthcare providers in the field of weight management! -

Nasty smelling vitamins
Alex Brecher replied to Jessica Marie's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
By taking an all-in-one Bariatric Multivitamin like BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE, you can get 1,667% of the daily Thiamine (B-1) value. Why take a separate B-1 supplement? -

SCAM ALERT: Beware of Tijuana Coordinator BILL YANEZ and DR. JALIL ILLAN at HOSPITAL BC!
Alex Brecher posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I have recently received alarming reports from patients who have sent deposits or paid in full for surgeries in Tijuana to a patient coordinator named Bill Yanez. He is now working once again as a coordinator for Dr. Jalil Illan in Tijuana. Please exercise extreme caution when dealing with Dr. Jalil Illan at BC Hospital and coordinators Bill Yanez. They have a history of financial misconduct, having embezzled significant sums of money from me during their tenure as coordinators at BariatricPal Hospital/BC Hospital. Furthermore, I have personally experienced severe surgical complications under the care of Dr. Illan, who botched my surgery not once but twice. There are many reputable and trustworthy options for bariatric surgery in Mexico. Please do not risk your health and finances by entrusting them to a surgeon and coordinators with a track record of dishonesty and malpractice. If these individuals have victimized you, I urge you to report them to your local authorities and the FBI. Their actions are unethical and illegal, and they will face the consequences of their actions in due course. Stay safe, everyone. Let's look out for each other and ensure we all have access to safe, reliable, and ethical medical care. -

I just got word from a good source that Bill Yanez has been re-hired by Dr. Illan and is back running their scam at Hospital BC. Dr. Illan must be getting desperate if he hired Bill back after claiming that Bill also embezzled his money.
