Preparing for Diagnostic Appointments (IBA)

ReeVue: Resting Metabolic Rate

This is a simple breathing test that lasts approximately 10 minutes. It calculates the number of calories your body burns while at rest and is useful for determining a safe and sustainable calorie deficit that will promote weight loss.

Instructions to prepare for test:
- Do not eat or drink anything, except water, for atleast 4 hours prior to test.
  No exercise for at least 4 hours prior to appoinmtent.
- Do not consume caffeine or supplements for at least 4 hours prior to appointment.
- Continue taking your regular prescription medications.
  Note: Discontinue any appetite suppressant medications 2 days prior to your appointment
DXA Scanner: Body Composition Analysis

The DXA Scanner is a state-of-the-art diagnostic test used by many professional athletes to monitor lean muscle mass. Patients lie on a flat surface for a few minutes while a computer scans the body and calculates the percentage of fat, lean muscle, water, and other body tissues. This is an essential test to ensure fat and not muscle is being lost during the reducing phase.

Instructions to prepare for this test:
- Remove all metal jewelry and accessories
- No metal on or in clothing including zippers and underwire bras
- We recommend sweatpants, t-shirts and sports bras for women

Medical Weight Loss Consent
I, First Name* Last Name* , authorize the Bariatricians at HorizonView Health and their associates to help me in my weight loss efforts. I understand that my program may consist of a balanced deficit diet, a regular exercise program, instruction in behavior modification techniques, and may involve the use of bariatric medications. It has been explained to me that these medications have been used safely and successfully in private medical practices as well as in academic centers.

I understand that my medical treatment may involve risks as well as the proposed benefits. I also understand that there are certain health risks associated with remaining overweight or obese. Risks of this program may include but are not limited to sleeplessness, headaches, dry mouth, gastrointestinal disturbances, weakness, tiredness, high blood pressure, and rapid heartbeat. These and other possible risks could, on rare occasion, be serious in nature. Risks associated with remaining overweight are tendencies to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack and heart disease, arthriritis of the joints including hips, feet and back, sleep apnea, and sudden fatality. I understand that these risks may be modest if I am not significantly overweight, but the risks will increase with additional weight gain.

I understand that much of the success of the program will depend on my efforts and that there are no guarantees or assurances that the program will be successful. I also understand that obesity is a chronic life-long condition that requires changes in eating habits and permanent changes in behavior in order to be treated successfully.

I have read and fully understand this consent form and my questions have been answered to my complete satisfaction.

When late cancellations and/or no shows become excessive, the therapist then has the right to terminate the relationship. Two no shows and/or late cancellations over the year would be considered excessive. This policy is effective January 1st, 2021. We do understand that emergencies arise and that it may not be possible to give such a notice. Exceptions to the late cancellation and no-show policy with be determined by our office.
