Medical Weight Loss
Personalized, physician-led support
Weight is influenced by many factors: genetics, hormones, certain health conditions and medications, sleep, stress and lifestyle. Losing weight is not simply a matter of willpower, and every journey is different. At Clinique Idyllium, weight loss is medically supervised: a physician assesses your overall health, then builds a realistic, tailored plan with you and follows it over time. The goal is to improve your health and well-being, at your own pace.
A health-first approach
Our program is led by the clinic's physicians, Dr. Vitalie Sirbu and Dr. Tatiana Sirbu, family medicine specialists. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, they take into account your history, your health and your constraints. Support is provided without judgment. We focus on what matters to you: your energy, your mobility, your long-term health and your day-to-day comfort.
The first consultation
The weight loss consultation begins with a complete medical assessment. The physician reviews with you:
- your medical and family history;
- your current medications;
- your health conditions;
- your habits: eating, physical activity, sleep and stress;
- your goals and what you have already tried.
Depending on your situation, the physician may recommend additional tests. This assessment is the starting point for your personalized plan.
Body composition analysis
The scale shows a total weight, but not what makes it up. A body composition analysis estimates the split between fat mass, muscle mass and water. This data gives a more accurate picture of your starting point and lets us track your progress from one appointment to the next: the goal is to reduce fat mass while preserving muscle mass, which the number on the scale alone cannot show.
A personalized plan and regular follow-up
Based on the assessment, the physician works with you on a plan suited to your reality. It may cover eating, physical activity, sleep and stress management, with concrete, achievable goals. Regular follow-up appointments let us measure your progress, answer your questions and adjust the plan as needed. The frequency and length of follow-up are adapted to each person.
Medication, when medically indicated
For some people, and when it is medically indicated, the physician may discuss pharmacological options. This is considered only after a complete assessment of your history, health conditions and current medications. The decision is made with you, weighing benefits, risks and contraindications. Medication does not replace lifestyle habits: where appropriate, it becomes part of an overall plan with medical follow-up.
Complementary body treatments
During or after weight loss, some people want to improve skin firmness or certain contours. Aesthetic treatments can then complement the medical approach:

Who is the program for?
The program is for adults who want to lose weight for their health and well-being with medical supervision, whether it is a first attempt or after several tries.
Some situations call for particular caution or a different approach, including pregnancy, breastfeeding and a history of eating disorders. Every request is assessed by the physician, who will tell you whether the program suits you and, if needed, refer you to the appropriate resource.

Who handles weight loss at Clinique Idyllium?
The weight loss consultation and follow-up are provided by the clinic's physicians, Dr. Vitalie Sirbu and Dr. Tatiana Sirbu, family medicine specialists. Their approach looks at your overall health, not just the number on the scale.
Do I need a referral?
No, no referral is needed. You can book a weight loss consultation directly online or by phone at (450) 330-0470.
What is a body composition analysis?
It is a measurement that estimates how your weight is distributed between fat mass, muscle mass and water. Two people with the same weight can have very different compositions, so this analysis gives a more accurate picture than the scale alone and helps track changes in fat mass while making sure muscle mass is preserved.
Do you prescribe weight loss medication?
Medication is considered only when it is medically indicated, after the physician has fully assessed your history, health conditions and current medications. It is never automatic: the decision is made with you, weighing benefits and risks, and always alongside lifestyle habits.
How long does the follow-up last?
The length of follow-up is adapted to each person. It depends on your health, your goals and your progress. The physician sets the frequency of follow-up appointments with you and adjusts it over time.
Is the program right for everyone?
Every request is first assessed by the physician. Some situations call for particular caution or a different approach, including pregnancy, breastfeeding and a history of eating disorders. The physician will tell you whether the program suits you and, if needed, refer you to the appropriate resource.
Can aesthetic body treatments complement weight loss?
Yes. After losing weight, some people want to improve skin firmness, cellulite or certain contours. Treatments such as mechanical massage, laser body contouring or radiofrequency skin tightening can be discussed as a complement once the medical plan is in place.
