Weight Loss | Excel Primary Care

My Story

“I am a 34 year old wife, daughter, and mother of two kids. I was just shy of 5 ft tall and 237 pounds. I tried Atkins a year ago and did well but fell off the wagon when I started a new job as a light rail operator. I had a breaking point when my thunder thighs ripped a hole in my favorite work pants. My husband suggested that I see Dr. Meena because he saw a medical weight loss poster in her office.

Everything has been simple to follow even with my busy lifestyle. I have lost 28 pounds in 8 weeks and went from a size 24 to a size 18. I don’t have back pain anymore and my cholesterol has improved. I take walks and hikes with my family and no longer go to the fridge when I get home from work. I feel like with the support and info that I’m getting from Dr. Meena that I am on the right path to keeping the weight off long term. Excel Primary Care’s obesity treatment is right for me!”

“I am extremely grateful for the weight loss program at Excel Primary Care and the expert guidance that I received from Dr. Venugopal. I had more success with Dr. Venugopal’s program than any other program which I have tried in the past.

I feel lighter and more energetic and now in control of my health. Dr. Venugopal helped me embrace new habits in eating and exercise and she demonstrated compassionate support throughout my journey.

I hope other patients, who like me struggle with their weight, will get the help they need to succeed with Dr. Venugopal’s program.”

“In order to have better control of my cholesterol and blood pressure, I joined Dr. Venugopal’s weight loss program. I needed to lose 42 pounds to achieve my target weight of 190 pounds. After 19 weeks of consultation with Dr. Venugopal and intelligent diet manipulation I have achieved a 40 pound weight loss. Self control and diet knowledge were the key elements to my current success. Both of these elements were promoted and made available through Dr. Venugopal’s program.”

“I am 86 years old and I was obese at 197 pounds and I have tried four different advertised diets and would lose five to seven pounds and then didn’t lose any more weight. I also was very starved and didn’t like the food. I never give up, so when I saw the sign in the waiting room of Dr. Meena, I decided to try one more time. I have done the diet not cheating for weeks and have lost 35 lbs. Yes, I do feel hungry every now and then but just drink a small glass of water. I especially feel hungry watching ads on TV for delicious foods! I just turn off those commercials.

I still have 20 lbs to go but I am feeling 100% better and I have gotten off my sleeping med 10 mg Ambien and three other medications. My ankles no longer swell and I no longer nap in the afternoon. I have great energy and am feeling really good. I am extremely pleased with the results and I will never go back to my old self.”

“I lost 30 pounds , kicked cholesterol out of my body ,have more energy and went from a size 10 to size 4! In my opinion, the diet, was successful because Dr.Meena and her staff were very supportive and motivating, with weekly diet and exercise counseling, the food was filling and tasty, and the duration of the diet was reasonable. In 8 weeks, I lost 10% of my original weight! Although my motivation to go on the diet was my marginally high cholesterol, I am totally enjoying the side-effect of being able to fit into all my pre-pregnancy clothes! I see people around me motivated to exercise and keep fit because of what I am doing. Thanks Dr.Meena and the staff of Excel Primary care”

My Story

Dr. Meena is not only professional and knowledgable, she really takes time to know her patient, their history, lifestyle and family history. I have put 100% faith in Dr. Meena’s coaching, and I have achieved amazing results.

She is thorough with her explanations of treatments and the condition she is treating.

I have been a patient for about 7 years now. I am a diabetes II sufferer, and as of November 2016 she began mentoring me in better eating habits and understanding the true function of food as fuel for the body.

My A1c has gone from over 10!, to now comfortably sitting at 6.2, a normal reading and indication of diabetes being under control.

I have so much to say, but do not want to create a complete new page. I have gone from 272 lbs, to 210 lbs. Currently, I’m losing a huge amount of body fat without losing muscle mass. I have not been at this current weight since I was 26yo., I am 55…

I was scheduled to have knee replacement in July of 2016, I was not ready for that, but now I am happy to say currently the knee is stronger and except for an occasional tightness from over working the knee, it feels as good as it can.

I am a believer and complete supporter of Dr. Meena Venugopal, and the entire staff at Excel Primary Care!
