Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Long Do Hormone Pellets Last?

    Hormone pellets often last about three to five months, but timing varies with metabolism, dose, and activity level. Northview Medical uses follow-up visits and lab results to decide when a patient may need their next treatment, so the schedule fits the individual.

  • What Are Bioidentical Hormone Pellets?

    Bioidentical hormone pellets are small implants placed under the skin that release hormones steadily over time. Bioidentical hormones match the structure of hormones the body makes. Northview Medical in Cheyenne, WY, uses bioidentical hormones only and builds each plan from lab results.

  • Does Pellet Insertion Require Downtime?

    Pellet insertion is a brief in-office visit, and many people return to daily activities soon afterward. Your Northview Medical provider will give you specific instructions to follow, since needs can differ from person to person.

  • How Often Are Follow-Up Labs Needed During Hormone Therapy?

    Follow-up labs are usually scheduled after treatment begins and again when a plan changes, so providers can review progress and make adjustments. Northview Medical builds each plan from lab results, and your provider will recommend the schedule that fits you.

  • What Is the Difference Between Bioidentical Hormones and Conventional Hormone Therapy?

    Bioidentical hormones are designed to match the structure of the hormones the body produces, while conventional options may use different chemical forms. Northview Medical focuses on bioidentical hormones only. Your provider can explain how each approach works and which fits your symptoms and labs.

  • Can I Try Other Options if Pellets Are Not the Right Fit?

    Yes, you can talk with your provider about other options. Pellets are the most common choice at Northview Medical, but the right plan depends on your symptoms, preferences, and lab results. Share your concerns at your consultation so your plan feels comfortable.

  • How Long Does a First Weight Loss Appointment Take?

    Many first weight loss appointments take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on health history and the evaluation needed. At Northview Medical in Cheyenne, WY, the first visit covers your health history, current symptoms, and goals. Call 307-632-3399 to ask about timing.

  • Do I Need Lab Work Before Starting a Weight Loss Program?

    Lab work is often part of a medically supervised weight loss program because results help confirm that a plan is safe to start. Northview Medical reviews your health history first and may order labs afterward. Your provider will explain which tests apply to you.

  • How Often Will I Need Follow-Up Appointments?

    Follow-up visits are common in a medically guided weight loss program, and the schedule depends on your plan and progress. Northview Medical uses regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust the program as needed. Ask your provider which pace fits your life.

  • What Should I Bring to My First Appointment?

    Bring a list of your current medications and supplements, any recent lab results, and notes about your symptoms and goals. These details help the Northview Medical team build a plan for you. You can also find patient paperwork on our contact page.
