Many people hoping to lose weight have tried all types of weight loss strategies but still struggle with the right solution for their specific needs. For long-term weight loss medical solutions, we have you covered at Medallus Urgent Care. Our medical weight loss solution, known as Semaglutide, works effectively to help patients lose weight safely and healthily. During the medical weight loss process, our medical professionals will work with you to create a weight loss plan, including diet, exercise, and medication. Together, these methods can serve as an effective strategy for helping patients from all walks of life lose weight quickly and in a sustained manner. We know that the weight loss process can be confusing and frustrating for many, so we are here to help you with all of your questions about Semaglutide, among others. Here are some of the common questions we receive about Semaglutide, and our answers:
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved drug and has some guidelines about who should take it. Some of these guidelines include patients who have a body mass index of at least 27 kg/m2 plus at least one weight-related condition. Weight-related conditions could include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or Type 2 diabetes. Another potential good fit for Semaglutide is a patient who just has a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or greater. If you are unsure if you fall into either of these categories but are interested in medical weight loss, such as Semaglutide, our medical team will offer you more advice when you come into Medallus Urgent Care for your first appointment. We will run a series of tests and ask about your medical history, among other potential diagnostic strategies, to determine if Semaglutide is the right fit for your weight loss journey. If it is not, our team will work with you to find the right strategy for healthy weight loss.
The amount of weight people lose when taking Semaglutide can vary depending on their weight and lifestyle. On average, however, Semaglutide usually helps patients lose 15% of their body mass. For example, a patient who is 250 pounds could lose about 37.5 pounds over their treatment period. Depending on how much weight you would like to lose, and how much weight your doctor recommends that you lose, this amount can vary depending on Semaglutide dosage. Patients who are consistent about eating healthy and exercising in addition to taking Semaglutide will see the best results, however!
While Semaglutide can be a great solution for many patients who meet the body mass index criteria listed above, however, it is not the right fit for every patient. If you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, also known as MEN2, then Semaglutide is not the right weight loss medication for you. In addition, patients with a history of medullary thyroid cancer, gallbladder disease, or pancreatitis should not use Semaglutide. If you are not sure about your history of these diseases or would like to learn more, we recommend that you discuss your concerns with us during your first appointment at Medallus Urgent Care.
The amount of time it takes to see visible and effective weight loss from Semaglutide will vary per person. Typically, you may notice results after the first two to three weeks of Semaglutide treatment. However, for noticeable and consistent results, this can take up to six weeks once you have reached the maximum dosage of the medication. In addition, patients who are consistently working out and eating healthy in addition to their Semaglutide treatment are more likely to see consistent and more timely results. That is why our medical professionals will ensure that you have a treatment plan that guarantees the best results.
