Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I lose weight?

Most patients see appetite reduction within days of starting GLP-1 medications. Measurable weight loss typically starts within 2-4 weeks. Your specific results depend on your medication, adherence, and lifestyle choices.

What happens if I stop the medication?

Your appetite will likely return to baseline. Weight loss achieved through healthy habits may stick, but medication is necessary for continued results. Many patients maintain with lower doses long-term.

Are GLP-1 medications safe long-term?

Yes, GLP-1 medications were originally developed for diabetes and have been safely used for decades. We monitor you regularly to ensure continued safety and effectiveness.

Can you help if I've had weight loss surgery?

Absolutely. Many post-surgical patients regain weight. We understand the unique challenges you face and can design a program that works with your surgical anatomy.

Do you accept my insurance?

We work with most major insurance plans. Call us with your insurance information and we'll verify coverage. Many plans cover weight loss medications and consultations.

What if I have medical conditions like diabetes or hypertension?

In fact, some weight loss medications improve these conditions. We review all your health conditions carefully. Your improved health may allow us to reduce other medications as you lose weight.

How often will I have appointments?

Initially, appointments are every 2-4 weeks to monitor your response. As you stabilize, we may move to monthly visits. We also offer phone consultations for convenience.

Can I do telehealth visits?

Yes, many patients manage their weight loss through telehealth appointments. After an initial in-person visit, you can do follow-ups virtually. This is especially convenient for our out-of-county patients.
