No, you will only be required to come to the office for an onboarding visit and then for a follow up visit every three months. During the time between in-office visits, your provider will check in with you online to assess your progress and you can reach out any time. We are happy to see you in the office more frequently if you prefer!

Some people don’t have any side effects while others may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and/or constipation. Other, less common but possible side effects, include acid reflux or heartburn, dizziness, headache and mild hair thinning (due to rapid weight loss in some cases). You should seek medical attention if you experience severe stomach pain (could indicate pancreatitis), signs of gallbladder issues (pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, fever), severe dehydration (from persistent vomiting or diarrhea), allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), or kidney issues (changes in urination, swelling in legs). Be sure to share any side effects with your provider.

Absolutely, most patients do! Your provider will teach you how to give yourself the injection at your first medical weight loss appointment. We also offer in-office injection visits for those who aren’t comfortable administering the injections themselves.

Because everyone is different and you may need some time to start seeing results, we require a 3-month minimum commitment for our medical weight loss program.

Patients are responsible for the cost of diagnostic labs and for a fee charged every 4 weeks. The fee covers the cost of all visits and ongoing support, along with the cost of medications. Prices typically range from $400 – $600 and depend on the medication prescribed. The cost does not change as dosage is adjusted, so you can plan on a given amount. Price is subject to change with notice. A $100 consultation fee is collected to hold your consult appointment. This fee is applied towards your first order of medications if you move forward with the program.

No. You cannot start taking GLP-1 medications if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing.

You are not a candidate for this medication if you or a close relative have a history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2).

After stopping GLP-1, it is important to maintain healthy lifestyle changes (healthy eating, high protein intake, staying active, good sleep habits, etc.) to avoid gaining weight back. Your provider may taper you off the medication slowly or keep you on a low maintenance dose of GLP-1 to help maintain your weight loss.
