WEIGHT LOSS CONSENT FORM
I_______________________________authorize Dr William C. McCarthy and his staff at
Northern Virginia Area Bariatric Consultants to help me in my weight reduction
efforts. I understand that my program may consist of a balanced diet, a regular exercise
program, instruction in behavior modification techniques, and may involve the use of
appetite suppressant medications. Other treatment options may include a very low calorie
diet, or a protein supplemented diet. I further understand that if appetite suppressants
are used, they may be used for durations exceeding those recommended in the medication
package insert It has been explained to me 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 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 of this
program may include, but are not limited to, nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dry
mouth, gastrointestinal disturbances, weakness, tiredness, psychological problems, high
blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and heart irregularities. These and other possible risks
could, on occasion be serious or even fatal. Risks associated with remaining overweight
are tendencies to high 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 no 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 that the program will be successful. I also
understand that obesity may be a chronic, life-long condition that may require changes in
eating habits and permanent changes in behavior to be treated successfully.
I have read and fully understand this consent form and I realize I should not sign this
form if all items have not been explained to me. My questions have been answered to my
complete satisfaction. I have been urged and have been given all the time I need to read
and understand this form. If you have any questions regarding the risks or hazards of the
proposed treatment, or any questions whatsoever concern the proposed treatment or other
possible treatments, ask your doctor now before signing this consent form.

WARNING: Rapid weight loss may cause serious health problems. Rapid weight loss is
weight loss of more than 1 1/2 pounds to 2 pounds per week or weight loss of more than 1
percent of body weight per week after the second week of participation in a weight loss
program. Consult your personal physician before starting any weight loss program. Only
permanent lifestyle changes such as making healthful food choices and increasing
physical activity, promote long-term weight loss. Qualifications of this provider are
available upon request. You have the right to ask questions about the potential health
risks of the program and its nutritional content, psychological support, and educational
components; receive an itemized statement of the actual or estimated price of the weight
loss program, including extra products, services, supplements, examinations and

PATIENT INFORMED CONSENT FOR APPETITE SUPPRESSANTS
I. Procedure and Alternatives:
1. I______________________________________ (patient or patient's guardian)
authorize Dr. William C. McCarthy to assist me in my weight reduction efforts. I
understand my treatment may involve, but not be limited to, the use of appetite
suppressants for more than 12 weeks and when indicated in higher doses than the dose
indicated in the appetite suppressant labeling.
2. I have read and understand my doctor's statements that follow:
"Medications, including the appetite suppressants, have labeling worked out between the
makers of the medication and the Food and Drug Administration. This labeling contains,
among other things, suggestions for using the medication. The appetite suppressant
labeling suggestions are generally based on the shorter term studies (up to 12 weeks)
using the dosages indicated in the labeling.
"As a bariatric physician, I have found the appetite suppressants helpful for periods far
in excess of 12 weeks, and at times in larger doses than those suggested in the
labeling. As a physician, I am not required to use the medication as the labeling suggests,
but I do use the labeling as a source of information along with my own experience, the
experience of my colleagues, recent longer term studies and recommendations of
university based investigators. Based on these, I have chosen, when indicated, to use the
appetite suppressants for longer periods of time and at times, in increased doses."
"Such usage has not been as systematically studied as that suggested in the labeling and
it is possible, as with most other medications, that there could be serious side effects (as
noted below)."
"As a bariatric physician, I believe the probability of such side effects is outweighed by
the benefit of the appetite suppressant use for longer periods of time and when indicated
in increased doses. However, you must decide if you are willing to accept the risks of the
side effects, even if they might be serious, for the possible help the appetite suppressants
use in this manner may give."
3. I understand it is my responsibility to follow the instructions carefully and to report to
the doctor treating me for my weight any significant medical problems that I think may be
related to my weight control program as soon as reasonably possible.
4. I understand the purpose of this treatment is to assist me in my desire to decrease my
body weight and to maintain this weight loss. I understand my continuing to receive the
appetite suppressant will be dependent on my progress in weight reduction and weight
maintenance.
5. I understand there are other ways and programs that can assist me in my desire to
decrease my body weight and to maintain this weight loss. In particular, a balanced
calorie counting program or and exchange eating program without the use of the appetite
suppressant would likely prove successful if followed, even though I would probably be
hungrier without the appetite suppressants.
II. Risks of Proposed Treatment
I understand this authorization is given with the knowledge that the use of the appetite
suppressants for more than 12 weeks and in higher doses than the dose indicated in the
labeling involves some risks and hazards. The more common include nervousness,
sleeplessness, headaches, dry mouth, weakness, tiredness, psychological problems,
medication allergies, high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and heart irregularities. Less
common, but more serious, risks are primary pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart
disease. These and other possible risks could, on occasion, be serious or fatal.
III. Risks Associated with Being Overweight or Obese:
I am aware that there are certain risks associated with remaining overweight or
obese. Among them are tendencies to high blood pressure, to diabetes, to heart attack
and heart disease, and to arthritis of the joints, hips, knees and feet. I understand these
risks may be modest if I am not very much overweight but that these risks can go up
significantly the more overweight I am.
IV. No Guarantees:
I understand that much of the success of the program will depend on my efforts and that
there are no guarantees or assurances that the program will be successful. I also,
understand that I will have to continue watching my weight all of my life if I am to be
successful.
Patient's Consent:
I have read and fully understand this consent form and I realize I should not sign this
form if all items have not been explained, or any questions I have concerning them have
not been answered to my complete satisfaction. I have been urged to take all the time I
need in reading and understanding this form and in talking with my doctor regarding
risks associated with the proposed treatment and regarding other treatments not involving
the appetite suppressants.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS TO THE RISKS OR HAZARDS OF THE
PROPOSED TREATMENT, OR ANY QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER CONCERNING
THE PROPOSED TREATMENT OR OTHER POSSIBLE TREATMENTS, ASK YOUR
DOCTOR NOW BEFORE SIGNING THIS CONSENT FORM.

VI. PHYSICIAN DECLARATION:
I have explained the contents of this document to the patient and have answered all the
patient's related questions, and to the best of my knowledge, I feel the patient has been
adequately informed concerning the benefits and risks associated with the use of the
appetite suppressants, the benefits and risks associated with alternative therapies and the
risks of continuing in an overweight state. After being adequately informed, the patient
has consented to therapy involving the appetite suppressants in the manner indicated
above.
