I _________ (patient/guardian) do hereby authorize NP-C. Vera Mahou and staff, to assist me with weight reduction. I fully understand that this program shall consist of a reduction in caloric intake, regular exercise and behavioral lifestyle changes and my treatment may include the use of appetite suppressants and fat burning injections. I further understand that in order to continue to receive appetite suppressants, I must have regular follow ups and show continued weight loss.

Regarding the use of appetite suppressants, as with any prescription medication, I understand that there are potential risks involved. Side effects may include
nervousness, constipation, insomnia, headaches, dry mouth, weakness, fatigue, medication allergy, increased blood pressure and increased or irregular heart rate. I understand that these and other risks could be serious or in rare cases life threatening. 

Initial:__________
I understand that if I develop side effects from the medication, I will discontinue taking the medication and notify UnitedHands Health & Wellness staff immediately and in the event the problem is severe, I will go to the nearest Emergency room for immediate care. I do not have a history of alcohol abuse, drug abuse, schizophrenia, manic-depressive illness, or eating disorder, since these conditions constitute a contraindication to the use of appetite suppressants.

Initial:__________

Initial:___________
I understand that I can be successful without the use of appetite suppressants or injections as long as I am following a reduced calorie nutrition plan and increasing
my activity level, however the use of such medications and injections may significantly help with my weight loss progress. I understand the risks associated
with being overweight or obese include the possibility of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, arthritis and pain of the joints, gallbladder
disease and even sudden death. 

Initial:__________
I understand that there is no guarantee that this program will work for me. I understand that I must follow the program as directed in order to achieve weight loss.
