New Patient Registration Form

Thanks for submitting!

Southern Health Consent Form

I, ___________________________________, authorize my Southern Health LLC physician(s), or advanced practice clinician (s) and/or whomever may be designated as the medical assistant(s), to help me in my weight reduction efforts. I understand I will need to change my diet, exercise frequency and behaviors to aid in my long-term weight reduction efforts. I understand that the management of my weight will require a lifelong effort, no matter what method of weight reduction I choose. I understand that no drug can provide a quick fix for the problem of weight reduction and management. Other treatment options may include a very low caloric diet, or a protein supplemented diet. It has been explained to me to my complete satisfaction that these medications have been used safely and successfully in private medical practices as well as in academic centers for periods exceeding those recommended in the medication product literature.

I understand that any medical treatment may involve risks as well as the proposed benefits. I also understand that there are certain health risks associated with remaining overweight or obese. Risks associated with remaining overweight are tendencies to have high and increasing higher blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack and heart disease, arthritis of the joints including hips, knees, feet and back, sleep apnea, and sudden death. I understand that these risks may be modest if I am not significantly overweight, but will increase with additional weight gain.

I understand that much of the success of the program will depend on my efforts and that there are no guarantees or assurances made to me that the program will be successful. I also understand that obesity may be a chronic, life-long condition that may require drastic changes in eating habits and permanent changes in behavior to be treated successfully.

Risks of semaglutide treatment include but not limited to: nausea, dysgeusia (altered sense of taste), dry mouth, insomnia, asthenia; burping; constipation; diarrhoea; dizziness; dry mouth; gallbladder disorders; gastrointestinal discomfort; gastrointestinal disorders; insomnia; nausea; vomiting, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia, gastritis, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, flatulence, eructation, upper abdomen pain, abdomen distension, cholelithiasis, injection site reactions,

fatigue, increased lipase and increased amylase.

I am aware that other unforeseeable complications could occur. I do not expect the clinic to anticipate and or explain all risk and possible complications. I rely on them to exercise judgment during the course of treatment. I have been given all the time that I need to carefully read and understand this form.

Signed,


Patient Full Name: _______________________________ Date: __________________
