Weight Loss Medications
Not every patient is ready for or needs surgery to lose weight. For some, prescription medications offer an effective, medically guided path forward. At Tennessee Style Weight Loss, we provide access to FDA-approved weight loss medications as part of a comprehensive plan designed to help patients achieve steady, sustainable results.
These medications work in different ways — some help curb appetite, some regulate blood sugar, and others reduce cravings — but all are chosen based on your health profile and goals. When combined with nutrition counseling and lifestyle support, medications can be a powerful tool for weight management.

Surgical Option for Weight Loss
Bariatric surgery is recommended for patients with a BMI over 30, especially when obesity is paired with conditions like type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, or high blood pressure. It’s designed for those who need medical support to manage weight when other methods haven’t worked.
How Weight Loss Medications Work
Weight loss medications target the biological factors that make it harder to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. They may:
Reduce appetite and cravings, making it easier to control portions
Improve the body’s response to insulin and blood sugar levels
Slow digestion so you feel fuller for longer
Support ongoing weight loss when lifestyle changes aren’t enough on their own
Each medication is prescribed under careful medical supervision. Our team monitors your progress, side effects, and overall health to ensure your plan stays safe and effective.
Who Is It For?
Weight loss medications may be recommended if:
Your BMI is over 30, or 27+ with conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
You’ve struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
You need medical support to jumpstart or sustain weight loss
You are not ready for or do not qualify for bariatric surgery
This approach works best for patients who are committed to pairing medication with nutrition and lifestyle changes for long-term success.

Revision Surgeries
Restrictive / Malabsorptive (case dependent)
Revision surgery is performed when a previous bariatric procedure no longer provides the expected results or causes complications. It can involve tightening or resizing a sleeve, converting a sleeve to a gastric bypass, correcting issues from an older gastric band, or adapting an RNY to another procedure. Revisions are highly individualized and aim to restore weight loss, improve safety, and better manage obesity-related health conditions.
Suitable for
- Patients experiencing weight regain, complications such as reflux or intolerance, or those who need a different surgery to meet their health goals.
