Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see weight loss results?

Most patients notice appetite suppression within days of starting GLP-1 therapy. Measurable weight loss typically begins within 2-3 weeks. Average weight loss is 1-2 pounds weekly, with variations based on starting weight and adherence.

Are GLP-1 medications permanent?

No, GLP-1 effects are reversible. Stopping the medication means appetite returns to baseline, though many patients maintain weight loss through continued healthy habits. Some patients restart therapy if weight regains, while others maintain results indefinitely.

What are common side effects of GLP-1 therapy?

Mild nausea is most common, especially during dosage increases. Other side effects may include constipation, fatigue, or food aversions. Most side effects diminish as your body adjusts. Serious side effects are rare when properly supervised by medical professionals.

Can I take GLP-1 if I have diabetes?

Yes, GLP-1 medications are actually approved for type 2 diabetes treatment. They improve blood sugar control while promoting weight loss. Your dosing may differ from non-diabetic patients, and we'll coordinate with your primary care doctor.

How often do I need to come in for appointments?

During active treatment, appointments are weekly or bi-weekly for medication adjustments and monitoring. Once stable on your dose, visits may decrease to monthly. IV infusions are scheduled based on your program, typically weekly.

Will I need to change my diet while on GLP-1?

While medication reduces appetite naturally, we recommend a balanced diet rich in protein and vegetables. Our nutritionist will guide you toward sustainable eating patterns. Avoiding ultra-processed foods helps maximize medication effectiveness.

What happens if I stop GLP-1 treatment?

Your appetite will gradually return to baseline over a few weeks. Weight regain is possible if you return to previous eating patterns. Many patients maintain most weight loss by continuing healthy habits learned during treatment.

Can GLP-1 be combined with other weight loss treatments?

Yes, GLP-1 works well with IV nutrient support, nutrition counseling, and exercise. We don't recommend combining GLP-1 with other injectable medications. Your doctor will create a safe, effective combination protocol.
