Common Questions About GLP Weight Loss

What is GLP?

GLP-1 (Wegovyâ„¢) is an FDA-approved once-weekly injection to be used as an adjunct to a balanced diet and regular exercise. Originally to improve glycemic control in diabetic patients, the treatment has been proven to effectively reduce weight in obese and overweight individuals when combined with diet and exercise.

How does GLP weight loss work?

GLP-1 works by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite and food intake in the brain, allowing you to eat less.

How soon can I expect results from GLP weight loss?

Since people respond to medicines differently, there is no set time for seeing results with weight loss. Our weight loss specialists will provide you with a medical weight loss treatment plan and will set realistic expectations for you.

How often should I take it?

GLP treatment is a once-weekly injection. You can take it any time of the day, with or without food.

Are there side effects to using GLP-1 for weight loss?

Although GLP-1 is generally safe, less than 5% of patients experience side effects. The most common are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation.

How much weight can I lose with GLP-1?

Studies have shown that patients can lose up to 16.0% of their body weight! That’s an average of 37 pounds of weight off!

I've been seen Dr Sakina Davis for about 15 years now, she is very professional and spends enough time with you to treat the 'whole you', everything is connected and balancing hormones helps to treat and prevent many conditions. Her experience with bio-identical hormones proved invaluable for that particular stage of my life when I needed it the most. She is always up to date with new treatments coming up and this cutting edge medicine she practices has helped, also, with my back pain issues, allowing me to avoid a fusion surgery and still be able to function. Her staff is super efficient, nice to deal with and first class. AAA+

This has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had in a medical setting. The doctors and staff are the most professional, personable, and talented providers I have met. The results are phenomenal and went way beyond my expectations. I can honestly say that the value of the services have been fantastic and I would do it all over again...but I do not need to because it was done right the first time. :). I highly recommend Woodlands Wellness & Cosmetic Center!
