Our team at Iowa Weight Loss Specialists is dedicated to helping people live longer, healthier lives. For patients who do not qualify for bariatric surgery or prefer a non-surgical option for weight loss, our medical weight loss program provides an effective alternative. It combines the use of prescription weight loss medication with ongoing support from a team of clinical specialists to help you achieve and maintain weight loss.
We’ve recently made changes to our new patient paperwork so it is now mobile friendly. If you know of someone who would like to set up a consultation with one of our medical weight loss providers, it's now easier than ever! They can simply visit our website, fill out the online submission form to access our paperwork, and one of our team members will be in contact with them to schedule an appointment.
Patient Testimonial
Wendy was pre-diabetic, had high cholesterol and struggled with depression. After trying numerous diet fads that failed, she decided to try medical weight loss.
Since starting the program with IWLS she is no longer considered pre-diabetic. Her cholesterol and triglycerides are in the excellent range. Her depression has decreased, her sleep pattern has improved greatly and she has a lot more energy.
Wendy says, “I really considered this my last hope – and it’s working!”

New Year's Resolutions
Do you struggle with sticking to your New Year's resolution to lose weight? Many of us like to think of the start of a new year as hitting a giant reset button on our unhealthy habits or setting flashy, ambitious goals that will get us dramatic results. Yet despite that initial burst of energy and having the best intentions of giving 100% effort, we often lose motivation, get burnt out or discouraged at the slowness of the process, and give up in frustration.
So what can you do differently to actually follow through on a weight loss New Year's resolution?
Group Therapy, which meets virtually for an hour each week, is led by one of our licensed social workers who will teach a group of 5-10 patients proven strategies for managing specific problems. These groups are available to pre- and post-bariatric surgery patients.
Scheduling is required to attend these groups, so please call our office at
515-327-2000 to get signed up.
