Frequently Asked Questions

What are GLP-1 medications and how do they work for weight loss?

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved drugs that work by slowing gastric emptying and affecting appetite control centers in the brain. They help patients feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer between meals, leading to natural calorie reduction.

Am I a candidate for the newest weight loss medications?

Candidates typically have a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27+ with weight-related health conditions. We'll evaluate your medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals to determine if these medications are appropriate for you.

What side effects should I expect from weight loss medications?

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and digestive upset, especially when starting treatment. Most side effects are mild and decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Clinical trials show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight with the newest medications when combined with lifestyle changes. Individual results vary based on adherence to the program and individual factors.

Will my insurance cover weight loss medications?

Coverage varies significantly by insurance plan and specific medication. Our staff will check your benefits and help with prior authorization processes to maximize your coverage.

What happens when I stop the medication?

We work with patients to develop strategies for maintaining weight loss, including lifestyle modifications and behavioral changes. Some patients may continue medications long-term for weight maintenance.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, appointments are scheduled every 4 weeks to monitor progress and adjust dosing. Once stable, visits may be extended to every 6-8 weeks for ongoing monitoring and support.

Do you provide nutrition counseling as part of the program?

Yes, nutrition counseling is an important component of our programs. We work with registered dietitians to provide personalized meal planning and dietary guidance to maximize your results.
