In The News
If you have been reading the Weight No More Blog, and listening to our many short installments of radio podcasts over the past year, you are probably aware of Dr. Skversky’s firm opinion of HCG injections as waste of money. Recent actions by the FDA and statements by both the FDA and ASBP, are in agreement with Dr. Skversky’s long held assertion that HCG “slims your wallet, not your waist.”
The American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP) issued a press release last week in support of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision to remove homeopathic HCG weight loss products from the market.

We Thought You'd Like to Know
Here’s a neat new thing to love about your smart phone right now:
position code in your phone's camera view finder!
Ingrid, in our Newport office discovered that patients with a “Smart Phone” can scan a QR-code ( quick read code) and instantly become a fan of Weight No More’s Facebook Page.
We did a little investigating and came up with this nifty code that can be scanned right from the computer screen. No kidding, Give it a try!
Step 1: You need a QR code scanner “app” on your cell phone first. They are widely available for free or almost free. On iTunes, you can download either SCAN, QR Reader, or QR Code Reader at no cost. (A QR code is not the same thing as a UPC or Bar-code! Some apps can scan all types of codes. But you will need a Q R reader).
Once you have downloaded the free app, open the program on your phone, position the code in your camera viewfinder and simply listen for the beep. The screen will ask you to confirm that you want to go to our Facebook page and you are in!
Now, you are a friend of Weight No More and you have learned something new about your cellphone and technology! See? It’s good to have friends like us!

In The News, Is Off-Label Safe?
Watch the Videos
You have probably noticed quite a bit of chatter in the news lately about “off label” use of prescription medication for weight loss and wondered what all the fuss is about. Is it safe? Where can I find a doctor who really knows about this topic?
You have come to the right place! Robert Skversky MD has devoted the past 18 years of his medical practice strictly to treating the overweight patient and is often called upon by the media as an authority on the subject.
In March, he appeared on the Dr. Oz Show to describe his use of some off label medications, such as Topamax, in combination with more commonly used weight loss medications in his Southern California practice. Earlier this year, he was interviewed for a story on Combination Drug Therapy in MORE magazine. Check out the Video Gallery, to view clips of Dr. Skversky’s appearances on the Dr. Oz Show, The TODAY Show, The Early Show, Good Morning America and much more.
