I hope so: If he monitors your progress and counsels you on weight loss with exercise and proper diet as well, it sounds as though it is fine, as witnessed as people losing weight "weight clinics" such as this aren't always about the shots you get, but more about being motivated to lose and do as instructed, especially since your probably paying for it, you want to assure you are getting your monies worth.

Forget liposuction: Liposuction is not a weight loss operation. It is for localized areas of stubborn fat. See a weight loss doc who does not do liposuction. This sounds like someone who would prefer to make thousands of dollars for patients who can't diet. For liposuction, see a doc who is a cosmetic specialist.
