If you've been searching for medical weight loss in Westminster, CO, you've probably already tried the usual suspects — calorie tracking apps, gym memberships, restrictive diets, maybe even an over-the-counter supplement or two. By the time most patients walk through our doors at Go Figure Health, they're not looking for another quick fix. They want a clinical, structured, sustainable plan built around their actual biology.
The first visit is where that plan starts. Below is exactly what to expect — step by step — so you can show up prepared and get the most out of your appointment.
Before You Arrive: Intake and Paperwork
When you book your first consultation, you'll receive a digital intake packet by email. Fill it out before you come in — it saves 20–30 minutes of waiting-room time and gives our team a head start on understanding your history.
The intake covers your full medical history, current medications, previous weight loss attempts, family history of obesity or metabolic disease, sleep, stress, and your specific goals. Be honest about everything. The CDC notes that obesity is a complex chronic condition influenced by genetics, behavior, and environment — so the more we know, the better your plan will be.
Step 1: The Clinical Consultation
Your first visit starts with a one-on-one consultation with our medical provider. This isn't a sales pitch. It's a conversation about *why* your weight has been stuck, what you've already tried, and what's medically appropriate for you going forward.
We talk through your history, your symptoms (energy, sleep, cravings, digestion), and your goals — whether that's losing 20 pounds before a summer wedding or addressing 80+ pounds of long-standing weight gain. We also discuss any medications you're currently taking that may be contributing to weight retention, which is more common than most patients realize.
Step 2: Body Composition Scan (InBody)
Scale weight tells you almost nothing useful on its own. That's why every new patient gets a full InBody body composition scan at their first visit. In under 60 seconds, it gives us:
Total body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat level, segmental analysis (so we can see if you've lost muscle in your arms or legs from past dieting), and your basal metabolic rate. This is your real baseline — and it's the data point we'll re-measure throughout your program to confirm you're losing fat, not muscle.
Step 3: Lab Work (When Indicated)
Not every patient needs labs on day one, but many do. We commonly order a thyroid panel, fasting insulin, A1c, vitamin D, B12, and a lipid panel. These uncover the metabolic issues that quietly sabotage weight loss — insulin resistance, subclinical hypothyroidism, vitamin deficiencies, and more.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases emphasizes that underlying metabolic and hormonal conditions are a frequent contributor to stubborn weight — and they're easily missed without proper testing.
Step 4: Reviewing Your Personalized Plan
Once we have your history, body composition, and (when relevant) lab results, we build your plan. There are three primary tracks at our Westminster clinic:
GLP-1 medical weight loss — compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, prescribed and titrated by our provider, with monthly check-ins and dose adjustments based on your response.
Natural weight loss program — a structured non-medication track combining nutritional counseling, strength training guidance, and supplemental support for patients who prefer to avoid medication or aren't candidates.
Hybrid track — many patients start on a GLP-1 to break through resistance, then transition to the natural protocol to maintain results long-term.
Your provider will explain the pros, cons, and expected timeline of each option, and you decide together which fits your goals, budget, and lifestyle.
Step 5: Nutrition, Movement, and Follow-Up
No medical weight loss program at our clinic relies solely on medication. Every plan includes nutrition guidance built around hitting an appropriate protein target, eating in a modest deficit, and protecting muscle. The American Heart Association reinforces that sustainable weight loss requires the combination of nutrition, activity, and behavioral change — medication can accelerate it, but never replaces it.
Before you leave, you'll have your next appointment scheduled (typically 2–4 weeks out), prescriptions sent to the pharmacy if applicable, and a clear written summary of your plan.
How Long Does the First Visit Take?
Plan for about 60–75 minutes. That includes intake review, consultation, InBody scan, lab draw if needed, plan discussion, and questions. Bring a list of your current medications and supplements, and any recent labs you have from your primary care provider.
Cost and Insurance
Most compounded GLP-1 programs and natural weight loss programs are paid out of pocket at transparent monthly rates — no insurance hoops, no surprise billing. Pricing is reviewed during your consultation so you can make an informed decision before committing to anything.
