Houston Weight Loss Shot Questions

Q - What is the weight loss shot?
Our weight loss shot is a homeopathic combination of B-12, B-Complex, and a specially compounded Multi-Vitamin. B vitamins are destroyed by alcohol, refined sugars, nicotine, and caffeine. Deficiencies can lead to depression, tinnitus, gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia, anxiety, mental and physical slowness, and skin lesions. Though our weight loss shot does not suppress the appetite, it can help to curb carbohydrate cravings, increase the metabolic rate, boost energy, promote a sense of well being, and assist with weight loss.

Q - Who is a candidate for the weight loss shot?
Men and women trying to lose weight, recovering from surgery, looking to improve the emotional and physical wellbeing, or those simply seeking optimal health may be good candidates for the weight loss shot.

Q - Where is the weight loss shot procedure performed?
The weight loss shot is a simple procedure that is performed in Dr. Vitenas’ office.

Q - Is anesthesia used with the weight loss shot?
The weight loss shot does not require anesthesia.

Q - How is the weight loss shot performed?

The weight loss shot takes just five minutes to complete.

Q - What is the recovery like after the weight loss shot?

Q - When will I be able to return to work after my weight loss shot?
Work and other normal activities can be resumed immediately after the weight loss shot.

Q - What are the risks or possible complications of the weight loss shot?
The weight loss shot is a safe procedure with few risks.
