We offer an affordable semaglutide weight loss program in Pennsylvania
As with any medications the effect of GLP-1 medication will vary from patient to patient. Your response to GLP-1 may not match the timing below. This chart is meant to give a general idea of what to expect.
| Month | Semaglutide Timeline |
|---|---|
| ONE | As you adjust to the medication, you may experience side effects like nausea while noticing a reduced appetite and modest weight loss. |
| TWO | Weight loss becomes more noticeable, side effects diminish, and portion control improves as appetite suppression continues. |
| THREE | Steady weight loss, improved energy levels, and enhanced metabolic benefits like better blood sugar regulation become apparent. |
| FOUR | Weight loss may slow or plateau, but healthier eating habits and increased physical activity are more ingrained by this stage. |
| FIVE | Weight loss continues, along with noticeable health improvements like better blood pressure and cholesterol, and fewer food cravings. |
| SIX | By this time, sustained weight loss is achieved, with long-term lifestyle changes solidified and improved confidence due to progress. |
While semaglutide is effective for weight loss, it may cause some side effects as your body adjusts to the medication. These side effects can vary in intensity, and not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include:
Most side effects are mild and temporary, often improving as your body gets used to the medication. To minimize discomfort, try eating smaller, low-fat meals and drinking plenty of water.
Medical weight loss is a comprehensive, doctor-supervised strategy for reaching and sustaining a healthy weight. It entails a personalized program that can consist of dietary adjustments, physical activity, behavioral modification, and, if appropriate, the administration of prescription drugs like semaglutide.
Patients who receive this treatment not only lose weight, but also learn how to keep it off.
Your virtual consultation will be similar to a typical doctor’s appointment. More specifically, the physician will look over your medical background, assess your suitability for semaglutide, and, if necessary, work with you to establish realistic weight loss objectives.
The Sanctuary Wellness Institute’s weight loss clinic Wilkes-Barre, PA prescribes semaglutide through telemedicine. In order to allow our patients to administer their medication themselves, we deliver these prescriptions directly to their homes.
Choosing the Sanctuary means being able to complete the entire process of getting your semaglutide prescription online. Our patients can schedule and attend doctor's appointments, make payments, and fill their semaglutide prescriptions from the comfort of their own homes.
Semaglutide is not suitable for every patient. For example, the drug should not be taken by anyone with a personal or family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) or medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Additionally, since semaglutide exacerbates severe gastrointestinal disorders like pancreatitis, it’s not recommended for patients with a history of these illnesses.
Before taking semaglutide, women who are pregnant or nursing should speak with their doctors because the medication has the potential to harm fetuses and newborns. Furthermore, semaglutide should not be used by anyone who’s allergic to it or any of its ingredients.
Your goals, the way your body reacts to the medication, and the advice of your physician will all influence how long your semaglutide treatment lasts. That said, semaglutide is typically used for long-term weight loss. Many patients use the medication for several months, a year, or even longer.
A physician should ultimately determine how long your treatment will last based on how your body reacts to semaglutide and how quickly you lose weight while on it.
Not all patients are good candidates for semaglutide. For example, those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) should avoid using the medicine. Furthermore, individuals with a history of severe gastrointestinal diseases like pancreatitis should refrain from taking semaglutide since it can worsen such conditions.
Semaglutide has the potential to harm fetuses and newborns, so women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their doctors before taking the medicine. Furthermore, anyone with allergies to semaglutide or any of its components should not use it.
Though semaglutide helps people lose weight, including visceral fat around the abdomen, consistent exercise and a balanced diet are necessary to achieve great results. Semaglutide can facilitate the loss of belly fat when paired with a healthy lifestyle, but it’s not a miracle drug that can magically eliminate belly fat on its own.
Like all medications, semaglutide injections can have side effects. Constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and gastric distress are among the most common ones. In most cases, these side effects go away as your body adapts to the medication.
Before taking semaglutide, be sure to speak with your doctor. Also, be sure to let them know if you experience any severe or long-lasting side effects during your semaglutide treatment.
Take the first step and schedule a no-obligation initial consultation with out doctor.
