Effective immediately, we are suspending our Releana® Weight Loss program. Our staff and patients that have participated in this program have reported weight loss that is much less than is promised by the manufacturer (6-8 lbs/month rather than 20lbs). Also, our patients have been uniformly hungry on this regimen which requires strict adherence to a 600 calorie no carbohydrate diet. All of our patients and staff required supplementation with appetite suppressants. Our findings are also supported by other clinical studies which show no weight loss benefits. Given the expense of this drug, coupled with the consistently disappointing results, we will no longer offer any HCG weight loss regimens.

Tucson Women’s Center offers weight loss programs to fit the individual goals of our patients. Our standard weight loss program emphasizes portion control using appetite suppression, followed by lifestyle changes relating to diet and exercise. You can find out more about our programs by clicking on the “Medical Weight Loss” icon on the left hand side of this page. We look forward to helping you make a positive change in your life and health.
