  I was somewhat skeptical, but a friend told me about this place, and I needed to do something different to lose weight.  They do a fitness assessment with a medical professional and then I met with a weight loss counselor who was very knowledgeable and discussed a comprehensive plan tailored to me. There are many options as far as programs... read more to chose from, and the food they offer is very appealing. Very professional.
It is working for me. I'm on track to meet my goals!

  I was looking for a lifestyle change to both lose weight and increase my energy level. Kaytee at Optional Medical was the perfect resource to help with meeting this goal.

In a couple of months I lost 11bs, 6 inches and lowered my BMI. The combination of nutritional education and accountability made this journey a success. She was easily accessible... read more for answering any questions about meal planning and very supportive during set backs.

If you are looking to transition to a leaner healthier lifestyle, choose Options Medical.

  After having been fed up with let's be honest BEING FAT I had had enough. I was skeptical at first about joining a weight loss clinic, however I also felt that I needed some medical guidance. I came for an initial appointment and given the program outline and costs. Everything and everyone was pretty straightforward but very informative. They give... read more you the tools and you have to put in the work. Much to my satisfaction the program worked. Even when I took a break and got back on same results. I'm very much appreciative of the staff and program overall. Kellie-Ann was my counselor and she was very helpful and encouraging. I would highly recommend this place for weight and health related guidance.

  I started my weight loss journey with Options on Jan. 3rd and it has been the best experience since signing up. I initially chose to do the 23 day HCG program and as day 23 neared, I decided to extend the HCG phase to 40-days. The staff (Abel & Morgan) were so amazingly flexible with enabling me to do this.... read more I am in the next phase of the program and am down about 30lbs! It really was the best kick-in-the-ass to jump-start my lifestyle change. KelliAnn is my counselor and she is so patient with my crazy last-minute scheduling requests. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone wanting to get on a healthy life-style path; they really set you up for success.

  Update a little over a year later ....

The weight has still stayed off but I want to stress again IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE WEIGHT! I have so many health benefits from following their diet and losing the weight.  As I said previously, I no longer have to take high blood pressure medication.  My blood pressure reads consistently at... read more a normal range.  Since heart disease runs in my family, this was great news to me! When signing up with Options, you normally have a blood panel completed which I did.  A little over a year later, I had another blood panel completed and the results from losing the excess weight and eating cleaner were amazing.  My cholesterol went down significantly.  When I say significantly, my LDL cholesterol went from a 342, which is horrible, to 103 - that is a third of what it was!

One of my motivators for wanting to lose weight was the fact that I am getting older.  There are some major health risks that run in my family - heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes - just to name a few.  I couldn't envision myself staying on meds forever or worse - having to give myself injections for diabetes.  The fact that I have reduced these risks AND lost weight is what I would call a 'win-win' situation.  Yes, I still have more weight to lose (my own fault for taking a little bit of a hiatus) but the health rewards are phenomenal.  

Even if you are toying with the idea, thinking 'maybe I want to lose a few pounds', think about the rest of the benefits as well.   The staff at the South Loop location is supportive and amazing.  My counselor, KelliAnn, has really been a huge source of support and motivation.  Amelia, the physician's assistant, is wonderful.  Both have continually supported and coached me on this journey. I definitely couldn't have lost what I have so far without them.  All of the staff makes you feel welcomed and you are not judged - they truly care and are there to help you reach your goals.  Make an appointment now! :)

  After gaining back 45 of the 50 lbs I lost 2 years ago, I found myself feeling defeated. I needed a boost to get me back in the weight loss game. I found Options! With the help of the team and Sondra my counselor, I have lost 16 lbs in 21 days! The program works, if you work the program!... read more I'm excited to see what the next 7 weeks will bring!

  This is the real deal!! If you follow the plan that is given to you, you will lose the weight and be happy with your results. I began taking the 23 day HCG injections followed by 6 weeks of phentermine  on November 14, and I am down 12 pounds at my last check in this past Tuesday 12/2/14! I still... read more can't believe it myself, and I'm constantly checking the scale to make sure it still reads the same. I began this program weighing 185. When I got on the scale this morning, I now weight 171. My overall goal for the program was to get down to 165. Will says that I will most definitely get to 165. When I first began the program, I didn't think it would be possible, or that I would be starving from the few items that you are allowed to eat on the HCG program. But if you follow the protocol as directed, I promise that you won't feel hungry at all.

Oh yeah, I love the scale that is used to track progress. It monitors everything from how much weight you're losing in specific parts of your body to your hydration levels! Now, if you're someone like me who hates needles, it's no reason to scare away from this program. The injections are SUPER easy to do each morning, and you wont feel anything, seriously. I've gotten so good at them that I do them while standing right before taking my shower each morning. I started out sitting down and taking about 5 minutes to do them, mainly due to fear of feeling the prick. Not once have I had any issues.

Overall, I would recommend Options to anyone who has a substantial amount of weight to lose and want to do it in a short period of time. My birthday is next month and this will be the first time in over 3 years that I'm expecting I will be able to wear a tightly fitted dress without using control under garments! I'm already down one pants size from a 12 to a 10! Just imagine what will happen when I begin working out starting Sunday :)

Update: I began Phase 3 on Sunday and I have so much energy. It must be the phentermine! :) I also began working out on day one of Phase 3 and I have noticed that working out is much easier than and I feel more confident  and in control.

I did my measurements as well yesterday. I've lost a total of 10.5 inches all over my body! Wow, I still cannot believe that I am seeing these types of results. Others have began noticing and complimenting me on slimming down as well. I'm extremely happy with my decision to change my life.

  I was super stuck with my weight and nothing was working.  I tried every diet you can name and was unable to kick the pounds I had gained post college sitting at a desk.  It wasn't until I came to visit Options that I finally started to lose weight.  I did their HCG diet and lost 18lbs.  Due to work... read more travel I ended up getting a little off track, so I am sure if you tried and stuck with the diet you could lose even more then 18lbs! However I am still proud of the pounds I lost!  Not only is the staff friendly, but they are really motivating.  This was the push I needed to feel motivated again to get to the gym and get fit.  

They have multiple diet options to fit your style.  You visit their office weekly to track progress and make sure you are feeling healthy.  I worked with Kaytee and she was super friendly and helpful!  She reply to any stupid e-mail I sent about the diet and worked around my busy schedule.  I would highly advise checking them out.  The consultation is very informative and it allows you to see if their programs are right for you.  I signed up for the program after my consultation with Will.  He was great about explaining everything and once again answering all of my questions. He made me feel comfortable about taking on the challenge and is always very supportive when you see him in the office.

Don't knockit til you try it because this literally changed the way I look at food,  cook and the daily choices I make.  This will go way beyond the 45 days because I know I will continue to lose weight by realizing what I needed to change about my lifestyle in respect to food.

  I have tried every conceivable diet out there and at times had some weight loss but I  never had as much success as I am having with Options.  It's been easy & everyone there is so very nice & helpful which makes it even easier !! I meet with
my counselor Mallory every week & she is amazing !!! She's... read more so motivating & supportive & definitely contributes to my success with the program . I started there right before the holidays & thought I would be sabotaged with all the feasts around Thanksgiving & Christmas but I was able to navigate my way through & still enjoy myself & not feel deprived ! I couldn't be happier & I feel so good. I'm especially happy that my medical stats have improved greatly ! This is definitely a program that changes your life !
