Medical Weight Loss touts 15 years of results

Many people have tried yo-yo diets, or buy the expensive celebrity-promoted trends that pop up in social media and TV and radio commercial hype. But the failed weight loss remains and people continue to be discouraged.
Medical Weight Loss, LLC, has been proving since 2007, that weight loss, whether 10 pounds or 120 pounds, can be done safely, affordably and successfully.
Many different diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, auto-immune and thyroid problems, joint arthritis and heart disease, are linked to being overweight. The staff at Medical Weight loss knows about these things.
Weight loss is not just a matter of looking good – it’s a medical program of improving your health and reducing your risks. Feeling better is also a great byproduct of slimming down.
The clinic has added more beauty services and products, including: • Original doctorsupervised KETO program the clinic has offered since 2007. • Medical skin care and cosmetic products by Obagi. • B-12/fat-burning Dr. Gail Jachimek cocktail injection therapy. • Medical grade nutritional supplements by Pure Encapsulations. • Menu ideas from the staff and patients. • Prescription appetite suppressants for controlling volume of food intake and appetite (non-prescription also available).
SOME HISTORY
Medical Weight Loss, LLC, opened in 2007, and is headed by Dr. Gail Jachimek. The main Wisconsin clinic is located at 314 Sage Street, Lake Geneva. Their other weight loss clinics are in Waukesha, Tampa and Wesley Chapel, Florida.
The prices have not increased since they began the medical weight loss practice 14 years ago. Dr. Jachimek and her husband Richard are both Chiropractic physicians, and also run the clinics in Florida. They have had a house in Lake Geneva since 1998, and have been part-time residents and visitors to the area since 1969. Richard was also an Army helicopter pilot and tech inspector during the Vietnam era.
Their medical weight loss program combines pharmaceutical appetite suppressant medication, fat burning injections and pills, and a clinically proven diet with medical doctor and nursing support and counseling to help their patients reach their target weight goals.
This physician-supervised program helps those who have before tried and failed to lose unwanted pounds.
“We opened the clinic because I was entering menopause and gaining weight,” Gail Jachimek said. “When I asked my primary physician, as well as my doctor friends, for help, I got extremely rude responses. I was told to push away from the table.”
Jachimek said she does not want her patients to go through the same degrading experience.
At the time, she was living on chicken and salad, and practicing level 3 kickboxing.
“I had been thin as a young woman, so I also assumed that anyone overweight deserved to be overweight because they were eating chips in front of the television, etc.,” she said.
DETERMINED TO LEARN
When the unexplained weight gain happened to her, she was then convinced that other factors were involved. She wanted an answer.
Determined to learn more, Jachimek joined the American Society of Bariatric Physicians and went to their symposiums for further education and tools. She said she discovered that there are many contributing factors to weight gain – not just your diet.
Some of the major contributing factors include hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, environmental toxins, autoimmune disease, type 2 diabetes, etc. It was then that they opened the main clinic in Tampa to help people dealing with the same frustrating weight gain Jachimek had faced. They have since opened the three other clinics.
“At Medical Weight Loss, LLC, we have medical doctors, as well as nurse practitioners, that have been treating our patients successfully for years, so that the root cause of these problems can be addressed,” Jachimek said. “Our nurses and supporting staff are there for you to help you every step of the way.”
Medical weight loss plans are not new, and many are similar, but those programs usually involve significant upcharges and hidden fees, according to Jachimek. Her 248-SLIM program is different. The program is focused on the long-term results, meaning, not only will the process safely take off your weight during the active phase of the program, but

also prevent the pounds from returning during the “maintenance phase” (which is free).
NO FAD DIETS
This is no diet trend – this is a medical program that starts by looking at your medical history, evaluating your EKG, blood work and lifestyle, according to Jachimek. Then, the clinic’s doctors propose a plan for you, and prescribe appropriate pharmaceutical appetite suppressant medication, fat burning injections, vitamin therapy and fat-burning supplements.
“The program is simple, inexpensive and easy to follow. We give you a large list of foods to buy/choose from,” Jachimek said. “The program is easy, because it is food bought in the grocery store (no special foods to order); just regular meats, fruits and vegetables on our list. This factor also makes it more affordable, because you don’t have to buy special foods, or cook separate dinners if you have a family.”
Under the supervision of the clinic’s medical doctors and practitioners, patients can drop 20 to 30 pounds in the first month. Their program has proven that it is common to see 5 to 10 pounds dropped in the first week.
“We have had patients that have lost 17 pounds in their first week, as well as patients that have lost over a hundred pounds on our program,” Jachimek said.
Accountability is also a major part of the program. Keeping the patients safe and on track, their nurses evaluate, and treat patients weekly to provide support and give suggestions on how to reach and maintain their target weight.
Jachimek stresses that there are no price surprises at Medical Weight Loss. The initial visit is $195 and weekly visits are $55. It’s an easy and successful way to lose the unwanted pounds that have made you miserable for years, she said.
