You will have monthly follow up visits at least in the beginning of treatment. Regular monitoring of progress and ongoing support are essential for long-term success. We will track changes in weight, monitor the effects of medications, and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Support helps individuals stay motivated and accountable.
Injectable Weight Loss Medication
Semaglutide
A weekly injectable weight loss medication that has been studied and approved for use for obesity. Clinical trials have shown that semaglutide can lead to significant reductions in body weight (up to 15%) when used in combination with lifestyle changes. It has also been associated with improvements in cardiovascular health markers.
It works by interacting with the brain's appetite centers, resulting in reduced feelings of hunger. The medication slows down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, promoting a feeling of fullness and satisfaction after meals. This makes it easier to control portion sizes and resist overeating.
Patients with personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC) or patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type2 (MEN 2) do not qualify.
