Victory Medical offers a range of medically supervised weight loss programs designed to provide personalized guidance, medical expertise, and ongoing support. Whether you prefer in-person consultations or the convenience of telemedicine, Victory Medical aims to make weight loss accessible, successful, and sustainable.
Understanding the Need for Medical Weight Loss
Losing weight can be a challenging journey, and many people find that their independent efforts yield unsatisfactory results. It's important not to get discouraged if what you have tried on your own has not worked for you. Everyone is different, and it could be the simplest area that you may have overlooked. Some people do not realize that certain foods they think are good for them are adding a lot of calories to their daily intake. Just as individuals seek professional assistance with taxes or landscaping, seeking expert guidance for weight loss can be a beneficial step. Medical weight loss is an effective option for individuals who haven’t had success with other methods, and for people who need their health and safety monitored every step of the way.

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
HCG is a hormone that, when used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet, can promote rapid weight loss. You will be properly assessed by a medical provider at our office to determine if you are a candidate for this type of weight loss. If so, you are trained on how to administer injections at home as well as how to maintain a low-calorie diet during this time.
It's important to note that the use of HCG for weight loss is a controversial topic, and its effectiveness and safety have been debated. Victory Medical ensures that patients are properly assessed and educated on the risks and benefits before starting the program.
Center for Medical Weight Loss Meal Replacement Program
If you are not a candidate for HCG or if you feel you cannot commit to what is needed to accomplish your goal, then maybe consider our Center for Medical Weight Loss Meal Replacement program.

Amphetamine-Based Appetite Suppressants
Amphetamine-based appetite suppressants such as Phentermine and Bontril can be useful tools in helping patients follow prescribed weight loss plans, but they also involve some risks, especially with long-term use. Victory Medical prioritizes patient safety and ensures that individuals are well-educated about the potential risks and benefits of these medications.

Semaglutide
Semaglutide alone has shown to provide substantial, sustained weight loss in most people who use it. With appropriate dosing, and some simple lifestyle adjustments, Semaglutide has been shown to be even more effective.
Nutritional Support and Supplements
Victory Medical emphasizes the importance of nutritional support and may recommend specific supplements to aid in weight loss.
Chromium
Chromium is an essential mineral your body uses to metabolize carbohydrates and fats. It promotes weight loss and appetite reduction.

Carnitine
Carnitine is naturally synthesized in your body, where it transports fats into cells so the fat can be burned for energy.
Theanine
Theanine is a non-protein-forming amino acid found in green tea. In tea, theanine contributes to flavor and is the ingredient credited with promoting relaxation.
Vitamin B-6
You need vitamin B-6 to metabolize the proteins used to synthesize carnitine and growth hormones that help burn fat. Vitamin B-6 further supports weight loss by converting glycogen to glucose, so you have energy without consuming more carbs.
Vitamin B-12
If you’re overweight, your blood levels of vitamin B-12 could be low, which means your body may not produce enough energy. The team at Victory Medical can solve that problem with vitamin B-12 injections.
Other Important Considerations:
Liver Health: Your liver is responsible for eliminating fat and toxins from your body. It can do its job better and stay healthier when it’s not burdened with fat buildup.
The Psychological Aspect of Weight Loss
When it comes to weight loss, many people are prone to focus purely on the physical, but it is also the psychological that is important. This is especially critical when it comes to maintaining your weight goal. Weight loss surveillance and counseling are two of the best services available to help you lose weight.

Real-Life Success Story
One individual shared their experience with Victory Wellness in Cedar Park, stating, "For the last few years my inflammation has been so bad that earlier this summer I was having trouble even getting dressed I was in so much pain. My muscles were like solid bricks. July 16th, I knew something had to give and I met with a nutritionist, Lindsey, and Jennifer Cooper Vasquez at her practice Victory Wellness in Cedar Park. I started their HCG program and I just went in to lose weight to see if that would help. My hands do not hurt anymore. My inflammation is almost totally gone. I am not totally pain free nor am I cured from my auto-immune disorders, but they are quiet for now and I am living and happy! I am only halfway to my goal, but even if I stayed as is, I would be happy."
This testimonial highlights the potential benefits of Victory Medical's weight loss programs in improving overall health and well-being.
