I am a Complete Clinics HCG patient and I LOVE my results. I have been a yo-yo dieter since I was 15 years old when my mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She and I worked together to lose weight and get her blood sugars under control. When I was 16 I met the father of my children and future ex-husband. We would go out to the movies and for pizza every weekend. Obviously bad eating habits reasserted themselves and I started to gain weight back. I was the typical yo-yo and ended up gaining more than I had lost each time I went on a diet. I lost weight to get married, I gained more back. I lost weight to get pregnant with my first child. I gained more back. I lost weight to get pregnant with my second child. I gained more back. Is anyone shocked by this information? Probably not. By January 2013, I was at my heaviest weight ever of 250 pounds on a 5' 8" frame. I'm not one for creating New Year's resolutions since I've never been good at keeping them, but I had a goal for 2013 to lose weight for my niece's wedding. Then on my way home from work one day I was stopped on the tollway waiting my turn to exit when I was rear-ended by a HUGE SUV. I had whiplash, two herniated discs, my left shoulder blade was cocked in and down, several vertebrae were cocked out and up while others were cocked in and down. My neck and back were a mess!! My doctor prescribed physical therapy and while I was happy to do it, my body objected and fought me all the way. I was in a lot of pain and too fat to do half of the exercises the PT wanted me to do. I had to DO something! I found Complete Clinics through my chiropractor. I knew I needed help (see my yo-yo dieting history above) and I knew I needed to see results quickly or I was going to lose focus and momentum and just continue to follow the yo-yo back up and OVER 250 pounds. I completed two 40-day injection cycles and still continue to lose weight. On my first cycle I lost a total of 35 pounds (9.5 the first week!!). I took the mandatory minimum of six weeks off between cycles, and with the help of the phentermine, I was able to continue losing weight. During the second cycle of injections I lost 22 more pounds. To date (2/27/14), I have lost a total of 87 pounds since my first injection on May 18, 2013, and have another 8 pounds to go to reach my ultimate goal of 95 pounds lost. Did I feel the side-effects as warned? Yes, but I was able to keep going and they lessened as time went on. I was able to get past them to finish my first cycle and by the second cycle, I wasn't feeling any of the side-effects at all. Today I am training for a half marathon (NEVER would I have thought this was possible) and am happier than I have been in years! Do I still have cravings for "bad" food like chocolate, cookies and bread? YES, of course I do, I AM human and female. But I don't have to let the bad foods ruin all of the hard work I've done in the last nine months. I still weigh myself daily and if I had a bad day the day before I promise myself I'm not going to use it as an excuse to give up. I wish I could post pictures so people can see my before and after shots. HCG is not magic, but it feels like it to me. The system works IF you follow the plan. I know that the weight will come back if I don't keep working to keep it off. I've had pizza, beer, cookies, and ice cream since I stopped taking the injections, but I have NOT eaten them all on the same day or even in the same week, gained 5 pounds back and then thrown my hands in the air and said "HCG doesn't work." HCG works if you follow the plan. Don't take the option for injections if you are aichmophobic (suffer from the fear of needles). There ARE other ways to get the HCG in your system. The needles are the same ones that diabetics use to inject their insulin. They are tiny and almost painless if you lightly pinch the skin together before inserting the needle. All I can say is it DEFINITELY worked for me!! read more

With the direct guidance, supplements, and education I received from Complete Clincs, I have lost over 30 pounds in three months. Isn't that incredible? Crazy! Here's my story in a nutshell: I am a 42 year old woman with 3 young children. After having baby #3 at 39, I found it nearly impossible to lose my "baby weight". In fact, I gained an additional 20 lbs in the 3 years following the birth of this last baby! Ugh! I have always been athletic and active. I love to work out and spend time sweating. However, with my 3 littles, I felt guilty about taking "me" time and so I sunk deeper into a sedentary (and pretty chubby) lifestyle. My husband travels often and for long periods of time leaving me with the kids and all the responsibilities of the family/ home stuff... {for the record, I'm not complaining, I'm truly blessed to be able to stay at home and spend so much time with my kids}. But that's lots of stuff!!! You know! So blah, blah, blah... I got fat! Tired, lazy, unmotivated.... You get the idea. Enter Complete Clinics... I'm skeptical; I'm embarrassed; AND I've got to step on a scale... In front of someone - Nightmare! But I'm there. I do it. {sorry, not going to disclose my starting weight... This is public, gangI sit and talk with the nurse practitioner and we discuss ME. The good. The bad. The ugly. We cover it all. I leave the office having received a B12 injection, a HCG injection, an individualized program that suits my needs and body, some supplements and a little pocketful of hope. One month later, I return to the office... 12 pounds lighter! My loss is celebrated and I'm feeling encouraged. I have committed To this program and have been diligent. Each month I return to the office 10 pounds lighter - holy cow, I love this program! Here is the caveat: NO HCG. Im a high risk patient... Lots of breast cancer in this family. I had a total of 4 HCG injections ( once a week in the first month). Dr. Morris wanted a thumbs up from my GYN to use the HCG. That didn't happen. My GYN put the kabash on the HCG in about 3 seconds flat because of my family history. So, no HCG! Summary: 32 pounds. {shootin for 20 more} No HCG. Minimal physical activity {barely anything -really}. Committment Diligence. Supplements. Water. Lifestyle change. This is what I have to do. I am not 24 anymore! I have to change my habits to have the life I want. Success comes with compomise. I can do it. You can do it. Commit. Good luck, skinny girl! Side note in response to the "gigi" post..... Try again when you are ready to commit... It works. I tell my 3 kids all the time, "Why do something at all if you are not going to do it the best you can?" Gigi, you clearly did not do the best you can. read more

I have never been a small girl and have lost and gained more weight on and off than anyone can imagine. I primarily started going to CC due to the fact that I was getting married. I am a "professional dieter" and know better than to expect miracles. My intentions were to go on the HCG diet and be done. I was not looking to lose all the weight I needed to, just enough to feel and look better for my wedding. The HCG diet is very restrictive, but does work! In a little over a month I lost 29lbs. The staff was incredible...very supportive! They also were very clear that this diet was not a "quick fix" or a "miracle". Due to my crazy work/travel schedule, they were very accommodating between offices and appointment times. Traveling for work 5 days a week and living in hotels can be very hard on your body in general, not to mention always trying to find healthy food choices. Kudos especially to Lupe and Terri. They and the rest of the staff were very compassionate and knowledgeable! Anytime I have ever called with a question or a conflict in my schedule, Lupe or Mary got right back to me. Terri (Nurse Practitioner), might as well be a doctor. During my initial visit with her, she went over my entire health history and asked me questions no other doctor had. She provided me great information, along with references to back them, No other doctor I have seen, has ever done that. She gave me honest and upfront recommendations for my personal body make up, in which I continue to incorporate into my daily lifestyle. After I finished the HCG I continued the program at a slower pace with Medication. At that point I was more concerned about maintaining my weight loss, especially for my wedding. As of today I am still a client of CC and have lost additional weight, but at my pace. I am not going to lie...I am not perfect and have bad days. There have been appointments/weigh ins where I have gained weight. We're all human! No one shunned or scolded me. They went over my daily activity that may have caused it and offered helpful options/solutions. I feel very comfortable with CC. I do not feel the need to come up with lies about my food choices or make up stories, like I have with other diet programs. Overall, CC has really worked for me and I truly have enjoyed working with them! read more

"Terri McCreedy with Complete Clinics in Oak Brook Terrace has completely changed my life. I struggled with weight loss my entire life. Before I made my first appointment with Terri I was close to 215 lbs, eating half decent, sometimes working out 3 days a day, and not getting anywhere. I tried diets, weight watchers, etc... you name it. My first appointment with Terri was in August of 2014. It was like she knew me already. She immediately put me on a new food plan. This wasn't a diet it was a lifestyle change. A diet is temporary. This was for life. I'm a very objective person so I followed what she directed me to do. The first month I lost 10 lbs. The second month 9. The third month 8 lbs. Over the course 6 months I got back to the weight I was in high school and less. More importantly I learned what foods fuel my body properly. In December of 2015 I did a food sensitivity test under the recommendation of Terri and found that I had sensitivities to many foods that were causing in essence my body to swell. We adjusted my food plan a bit and I lost even more weight while putting on more muscle. I've now been seeing Terri for over two years and as I said she has completely changed my life. I went from a size 36 pants to a 32 and feel great. My BMI is in the normal range for the first time in a long time. It wasn't just the weight loss that helped me but overall I feel so much better. Over the past years I've changed personally. I've become more confident, happier, and more focused than ever before. Due to this lifestyle change I've excelled in my career also. Most importantly my relationship with my wife and family has gotten so much better due to my happiness. You can't be happy with others until you are happy with yourself. Currently I still go see Terri monthly. I have an intense schedule for work and extracurricular activities. She keeps me on point each month depending on the amount I'm involved in to keep gain weight from stress down. Lastly, this is not a fad. There is no magic pill. This is learning about what fuels your body and your brain to feel great. I can't recommend going here enough. It's truly been the best thing for me the past few years. Don't wait. Go make an appointment now!!!!!" read more

I could not recomment this program more. It has definitely changed my life and I could not be more greatful. While following the diet, taking the supplements, the education and guidance from this program, I have lost about 40 lbs in a matter of about 4-5 months. I am just 26 years old and have struggled with losing weight for as far back as I could rememeber. After hearing about this program from a family member, I had to give it a try. And I am SO glad that I did. I have never felt as happy as I currently do. I followed the program's diet along with the HCG injections and began to see the results instantly. If you do not have the full dedication, then you will not be happy with this, but after years of struggling I knew I had to be dedicated to making a change. There is no doubt that this is a pricey way to get it done, but when considering the alternatives, it is well worth it. And I knew that if I was going to spend my hard earned money on this program, that i would have to work hard on this and get the results. Also, everyone that I have met during my visits to the clinic are amazing. I take that hour drive every month because I could not feel more comfortable with any other people. Sure there is an office much closer to my house, but its worth the drive just to be seen by these people. They are so sweet and caring and do not want to see anyone fail at this.. I couldn't imagine doing this any where else. I've said it once here, and I'll say it again, this program has changed my life for the better and there is nothing that I have found to be more worth it. The diet changes your whole eating routine and makes you a more healthier you. As long as the program is followed and you are dedicated to making a change for yourself, you will be so happy that you did it. read more

I found Marissa on social media. I thought she was gorgeous! A successful working Mother of multiple children. Her body was unreal! When I reached out to Marissa she was very personable and friendly and I was relieved to know she was a humble person and was not pushing a sale. She took my concerns more as Customer Service, hearing out my problems and issues and then suggesting a solution. She asked for my availabilit, we met for a complimentary consultation and she was again not pushy. All her her information enticed me to move forward with treatments. I was concerned about the cost of the treatments. She then let me know that others were concerned as well so she provided me options to make sure that I had peace of mind. While in treatment she made it fun and comfortable. I still promote her to this day. Thank you for all that you guys do! ** Going to the gym 5-7 days a week was great but it wasn't helping alone. She gave me nutritional suggestions to help with results. *** read more

I tried Complete Clinics after researching several other options. I really can't say enough good things about the staff, program and the RESULTS. I joined the program with a friend. After one month, my friend lost 25 lbs using HCG, and I lost 17 without HCG. The food I get to eat is "real" food, and you are encouraged to have meals every four hours. There are times I actually don't even feel like eating, as I am not used to eating so often. The plan is medically assisted, so you don't feel like just another client. You get individualized attention and help with areas of concern, such as hormones and blood pressure. The Clinic also offers other services such as genetic weight-loss solutions, and hormone evaluations. So far, I am very pleased and would highly recommend Complete Clinics to anyone willing to take a step forward towards getting healthy through a weight-loss program. It is well worth the investment. read more

There are so many options for dieting and losing weight which makes it impossible to know which one will actually work. Having tried for so many years to lose weight, I gave up and decided to get some professional help. It was the best decision I've ever made! The staff at complete clinics changed my life! With their knowledge and care, I was able to lose 56 pounds in 40 days with the HCG diet!!!! It was the hardest thing I've ever done but the most rewarding! In the beginning I struggled with trying to follow the calorie restriction, but with the help of the staffs encouragement and resources, I stuck with it. Every morning I stepped on the scale, I was 1-3 pounds lighter! I am healthier than I've ever been! Do not hesitate when trying to better your health! This is the place to go! Plus, the pricing is much more reasonable than any other place, trust me I've done my research! read more

Great, knowledgeable staff. Very nice and dedicated to helping. They helped me break through a barrier that has held me back for a long time when it came to losing weight. Don't let anyone tell you that you can lose weight without doing anything, thats just not true. You have to be willing to work at. This practice will help you though. Its like having a medical professional as your personal training coach but they care about more than just pounds lost and equally care about things like my cholesterol. I actually just came back from a support group meeting that they held yesterday. They had a nutritionist talk about meal planning and then allowed the other attendees share tips and thoughts. It was pretty helpful. I think the topic could have been more interesting though. Overall these guys are good people. read more

I've visited the Complete Clinics in Gurnee! My experience was fantastic. The support staff is very kind, attentive, and treated me with respect and were very patient. The Ofc. Mgr.and Med. Asst. are wonderful people. The Doctor I met wiith was just as attentive and listened to my needs and concerns about my struggles with weight loss. I did the 23 DAY HCG Simeons program offered at the clinic. I lost 14 lbs and 12 lbs of FAT MASS in 23 DAYS!!! I was happy to have come across Complete Clinics that I have recommended this clinic to several of my friends. They have now joined and have been just as successful with their weight loss. I would highly recommend this Clinic to anyone looking to lose weight long term! The clinic has a great support system represented by a GREAT MEDICAL TEAM AND SUPPORT STAFF!! read more

I was looking for a weight loss clinic that could help me with diet and exercise. I have been to Jorie Clinic before and that place just seems like a cattle call clinic. I wanted help with weight, but with options. I came to Complete Clinics and spoke to Lupe. She was kind and patient. I had a lot of questions. Complete Clinics really take the time to get to know you and your situation. The staff is awesome and professional.. honestly, they make you feel comfortable. I mean, talking about weight and eating habits can be embarrassing.. No pushing or pressure to buy anything. They just want to help people be and feel their best. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. I am currently on a weight loss journey, and I am so thankful I found a clinic that truly wants to help. read more

English is my second language so please bear with me. I went to the one at Lincoln Park. Very satisfied about my experience. In three words: Safe, Easy, Clean All staffs are very friendly to me. The most impressed thing is that those lipo B Shots I got from them they really worked. My first visit was July or late June I was 158lbs. Wasn't expect that much but now I am down to 145 lbs. (Diet, workout along with lipo B) I am very happy about the result feel safe and healthy with those B12 shots. I went back there again just several days ago to get some B12 shots for my grandmother in law. Before my first visit, there were only bad reviews about the place. I was hesitated a little bit but decide to give it a try . Now I would say I highly recommend this place. read more

Complete Clinics of Gurnee has been so patient and understanding with all my ups and downs. Losing weight is not easy and it is nice to go there each month and know I am not going to feel worse than I already do for maybe not losing as much as I was, or they were, hoping. However, they are still very supportive and give me tips, tricks and ideas as to how to be better for the next month. They even gave me a grocery list of items and ideas prior to my two week vacation. They truly want me to be successful by standing by my side. True advocates and are there to help me - NOT judge me. I think that it is because of that support that I have been able to lose 30lbs (so far) and keeping it off. Thank you!!!!! read more

"I went to Complete Clinics for weight loss in the Oak Lawn office. The girls in the office are very resourceful and friendly. They are very matter of fact and dont candy coat anything. I loved the service! The shots and medication are working great for me so far, just in 4 weeks I was able to concentrate on what/how I ate that I shed 10 lbs and I feel great. Their hours/days of operation are minimal, but I only need to see them once a month anyway. The diet was pretty easy to follow, and you're given a booklet to help you figure out your own diet plan. I call the booklet my bible. My goal is to be looking and feeling fantastic in 9 months, which is my 50th birthday! Stay tuned for results in June!" read more

I love the staff at Oak Brook, all of them are very supportive. I am very happy to see Terri McCreedy is back! Everyone there is very friendly and they always run on time which is important to me. I have been successful on the HCG program but you really have to follow it and not get discouraged. When the scale stays the same for a few days eating 500 calories it can get frustrating, but it is the only program I have found that really resets and allows you to keep the weight off with healthy eating. I have referred a few people there and they have all shared great comments about their experience. One of my friends said she loves Terri because she credits her with saving her! I loved hearing that! read more

"Nurse Practitioner Terry McCreedy (sp?) has a real passion for science and the human body - reading the clues in the eyes, skin coloration, body movements, swelling, bloating, etc. Her knowledge for helping others achieve their goals is top shelf. I love partnering with her. My benefits of her shared knowledge decreased all my intestinal distress abruptly by eliminating certain food habits. My metabolism is picking up too. I'm not hungry either. I've lost some weight, I feel healthier, more alert and symptoms of chronic inflammation have decreased. All around, it's a win-win! Rest of staff is very, very encouraging and celebratory of any success I've experienced. 5 stars for this team!!!" read more
