The Let's Get Thin Weight Loss System is a weight loss program designed by Dr. Michael P. Girouard. After a private meeting at one of Dr. Girouard's three North Carolina clinics, the client enters a month-long program that typically combines drugs, education and a diet plan to allow the client to achieve weight loss.
Initial Consultation
According to letsgetthin.com, the client must have an initial consultation at one of Dr. Girouard's Weight Loss & Wellness clinics, all of which are located in North Carolina. During the visit, the client will undergo a physical examination. At that point, Dr. Girouard and his staff will create a weight loss plan tailored to the client's needs. This plan most often includes lectures for education, a reduced calorie diet and a combination of an appetite suppression drug and a series of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin injections, which aid in breaking down fat. Clients are not required to take the injections or appetite suppressant.
Following the Program
The Let's Get Thin Weight Loss System typically lasts up to four months, according to letsgetthin.com. During this time, the client follows his or her plan. If prescribed injections, clients may administer the once-a-week injections themselves or come into the clinic to receive them. After four months, if the client is steadily losing weight, he or she is reevaluated. If the client wishes, he or she may continue the program after a required four-week break.
Cost
For the initial office visit, the cost is $80. The client is usually also given a month's supply of the appetite suppressant and injections, which brings the initial cost to between $140 and $160.
The four-week follow up visits, according the the website, typically run between $105 and $120.
