"Medical weight loss" gets thrown around a lot. Some clinics use it to mean a meal plan on a clipboard. Others use it to mean prescription medications and not much else. At Medi-Slim Weight Loss & Spa, it means something specific, and it's worth understanding before you pick a clinic in Las Vegas.

A diet program gives you a meal plan. Medical weight loss gives you medical supervision, prescription tools when they're indicated, and follow-up adjustments based on how your body responds.
