There needs to be more upfront explanation of the process of using the drugs. That is, specifically what is the tapering off time line- What happens when you tapeer off, what can you do if the weight starts to come back on?Is there a maintenance Program. Specifically the weight maintenance program is very important. What is the cost of the maintenance program?I definitely had success with the program and believe it really has helped me to reach some of my goals, but I don’t want to backtrack.

Over 100 pounds down.To say CT Medical Weightloss and Beyond has changed my life would be an understatement. I am so incredibly grateful for the amazing treatment from the whole team. Doug, Andie, and Gabby are consistently positive, never judgmental and always have your best interests and health in mind. They are so knowledgeable and tell you everything you need to know and do throughout the entire process.I have tried so many diets, exercise plans, and have gone to multiple other weight loss programs and not one was anywhere near as thorough or kept up with your progress as much as CT Medical Weight Loss and Beyond does. They truly care and want what is best for you.Not only has my confidence skyrocketed but my overall health has changed. My energy levels and endurance have gone up tremendously and my lifestyle has just completely changed. I am able to do so many things now that used to be such a challenge for me. If the pictures aren’t proof, I don’t know what is. Thank you CT Medical Weight Loss and Beyond!!!

I can’t thank Doug, Gabby and Andie enough. They are truly an amazing team who care about the success and well being of their clients. I came to them last August in a panic as I had gained 25 pounds and could not lose the weight (thank you menopause) with their help I have lost all of the excess weight and then some. I am now healthier, happier 😊 and am truly comfortable in my own skin. Did I mention confidence!!! CT Medical Weight Loss and Beyond works!!!! I am so very grateful to have found them.
