Frequently Asked Questions

Is GLP-1 therapy right for me?

GLP-1 agonists work well for many people, especially those struggling with appetite control. We'll determine if it's appropriate based on your health history and goals during your consultation.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

This varies significantly based on your starting point, medication response, and lifestyle changes. On average, our patients lose 1-2 pounds per week, with some losing more, some less.

What are the side effects of these medications?

Most medications are well-tolerated. Common mild effects include nausea when starting, which usually resolves quickly. We monitor you closely and adjust as needed to minimize any discomfort.

Do I have to keep taking medication forever?

Not necessarily. Some patients maintain their weight loss without medication after reaching their goal and establishing new habits. Others benefit from staying on maintenance doses longer-term.

Will my insurance cover the treatment?

Most insurance plans cover medically supervised weight loss, especially if you have obesity-related health conditions. We verify your coverage upfront and handle authorization for you.

Can you help if other programs didn't work?

Yes. We investigate why previous attempts didn't succeed, which helps us design a better plan. Sometimes it's a medication issue, sometimes lifestyle factors, often both.

How often do I come in?

Initially, we see patients every 2-4 weeks. Once you're stable and losing weight consistently, we move to monthly visits. Some patients eventually transition to quarterly check-ins.

Is this program available year-round?

Yes, we accept new patients year-round and don't have enrollment periods. You can start whenever you're ready to make a change.
