Semaglutide Weightloss Program
Procedure
- Consult with your PCP prior to Temple’s consult and receive baseline fasting metabolic blood panel results.
- Your nurse will develop a personalized treatment plan, including dosing, dietary guidance, exercise recommendations, and follow-up schedules. Your recommended dose will be injected under the skin once a week. We recommend injecting it on the same day of the week every week.
- Weekly appointments will be scheduled to monitor patient progress, adjust treatment as needed, and address any concerns.
- Your nurse will track weight loss progress by recording weekly weigh-ins, vital signs, and any potential adverse effects during follow-up visits.
Aftercare
- This medication is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan.
- Your nurse will provide nutritional counseling and guidance to support healthy eating habits. This includes portion control, foods high in fiber/protein, avoiding high fat foods as they take longer to digest, limit alcohol intake and increase water intake to avoid constipation.
Expectations
- Patients generally begin to see results within 4 weeks.
- It may take up to three months before you see significant effects on your initial body weight and waistline.
