Seattle Wegovy Weight Loss Program

For those suffering from obesity and weight gain, weight loss treatments can be highly beneficial and encouraging. Although weight doesn’t negatively impact every person’s health, being severely overweight or obese can create underlying health conditions that can impact one’s quality of life. Factors like genetics, medical disorders, or difficulty in maintaining a healthy lifestyle can hinder a person’s ability to lose weight through traditional methods like diet and exercise. Wegovy is a medication that aids in weight loss and management for many Seattle patients. Seattle Plastic Surgery combines the weight loss benefits of Wegovy with nutrition and exercise plans to transform their health and lives.

Ozempic Dosage Plan

Wegovy Dosage Plan

Ozempic is an FDA-approved medication for type 2 diabetes. It helps those with type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels and can even prevent complications from type 2 diabetes like a stroke or heart attack.

Ozempic is an approved prescription drug that aids those suffering from type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels which helps the body regulate insulin levels. Although it majorly benefits those with type 2 diabetes, it can also benefit weight loss.

Ozempic contains a GLP-1-like component that mimics the hormone that tells us when we’re full. Ozempic slows down the food processing system and allows food to digest slower, keeping the full feeling for the patient longer. This allows it to suppress appetite without promoting binge dieting or extreme restrictive eating. GLP-1 also increases insulin levels and promotes insulin sensitivity and collagen production, aiding metabolism. This majorly benefits Seattle patients who struggle with their weight.

Benefits and Risks of Ozempic

With any prescription, there are many benefits a few side effects, and risks. Ozempic may not be safe for every patient, so Seattle Plastic Surgery wants their patients to have a thorough consultation before taking Ozempic. For instance, patients with medical conditions that affect the thyroid, gallbladder, or pancreas may not qualify to take Ozempic. Your provider will be able to best advise each patient after evaluating their individual circumstances.

However, for most patients, Ozempic greatly benefits their lives and far outweighs any risks associated with the medication. Below are just a few of the benefits that come from the Seattle Ozempic weight loss program:

Drastically reduces weight
Reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications
Reduce the risk of certain types of cancer
Improve mobility
Ease the strain of exercising
Reduces high blood pressure
Improves sleep quality
Treats type 2 diabetes if needed
Stabilizes blood sugar
Able to avoid weight loss procedures such as a gastric bypass surgery
Can be taken as an injection or tablet
Taken daily or weekly
Highly effective
Used long term

There are minimal major risks associated with Ozempic, and the side effects are generally mild and manageable. Some side effects and risks include:

Nausea
Gas
Heartburn
Changes in bowel movements
Blood sugar dropping too low (very rare)
Pancreatitis (very rare)
Minimal increase in the risk of developing thyroid cancer (very rare)

Understanding Wegovy

For those in the Seattle area looking to lose weight and create a healthy lifestyle, Wegovy can be the jumpstart to start your journey. While some weight loss drugs were initially used to benefit those with type 2 diabetes, Wegovy is one the newest and most innovative medications designed to promote healthy weight loss. Wegovy is a GLP-1 medication that acts as the GLP-1 hormone our bodies produce in response to eating. It helps lower blood sugar levels and suppresses the hormone that informs you of hunger.

Wegovy has three components that aid in weight loss and healthy body mass management. First, the GLP-1 receptor in the drug helps to regulate blood sugar. Second, it acts as an appetite suppressant which promotes weight loss for those who struggle with an overactive appetite. Third, it prevents the liver from overproducing sugar and creating fat deposits in the tissue. Essentially, it slows down the body’s food processing, allowing food to sit in the stomach and prolonging the feeling of fullness.

Wegovy is given as an injection, but instead of an insulin-like device, the patient uses a device shaped more like an EpiPen. The standard treatment is one injection weekly in the abdomen, biceps, or thighs.

Benefits of Wegovy

There are many benefits to the Wegovy weight loss program, aside from losing weight. For patients who struggle to maintain healthy habits or lose weight, Wegovy can be a groundbreaking solution. Benefits of Wegovy include:

Risks of Wengovy

Every medication has certain risks and side effects associated with it, but Wegovy’s risks are generally rare, and the side effects are mild. Patients might experience gas, nausea, heartburn, or bowel movement shifts when taking Wegovy. These side effects typically disappear within the first few weeks and are manageable with certain supplements like vitamin B. Some rare risks of Wegovy include:

Pancreatitis
Severe drop in blood pressure
Risk of developing thyroid cancer

The risks that can come with Wegovy are rare; most patients feel that the benefit from the treatment outweighs any risks or mild side effects. At Seattle Plastic Surgery, the provider takes the time and effort necessary to ensure each patient can safely take the medication.

The Wegovy Weight Loss Program At Seattle Plastic Surgery

More people are seeking Wegovy to aid in weight loss as it gains more popularity in the media. Seattle Plastic Surgery wants to do more than prescribe weight loss medication for patients, so they created a weight loss program to aid patients every step of the way. The program includes personalized exercise routines and nutritional plans to help patients find the perfect balance to optimize their Wegovy results.

Once the patient is qualified as a Wegovy candidate, they will begin their weight loss journey. They will have check-ins with their provider every month after beginning the medication. These check-ins can be done either in-person or virtually, depending on each patient’s needs. During these check-ins, the provider will discuss the patient’s weight loss progress and make any needed adjustments to the program. He will also discuss any side effects the patient might have and make any necessary adjustments to alleviate those side effects. The provider will also provide a Vitamin B supplement for each patient, which can greatly reduce any nausea or digestive issues one might have during the first few weeks.

Wegovy Prescription Plan

Seattle Plastic Surgery offers the Wegovy prescription plan for anyone who wants the name-brand medication. This program is $199 but does not include the price of the prescription, and the patient must go through a pharmacy of their choosing once the medication is prescribed. However, the program does include the following:

Initial consultation
Diet & exercise programs
Prescription to fill at your pharmacy
Monthly check-ins
24/7 access to on-call doctors

As for insurance, it’s up to the patient to ensure their provider will cover the cost, and they will need to make up any cost that is not covered. Seattle Plastic Surgery’s weight loss program is not covered by insurance.

Next 4 weeks: 0.5 mg
Following 4 weeks: 1 mg
Next 4 weeks: 1.7 mg

What Can I Expect From A Seattle Wegovy Consultation?

Seattle Plastic Surgery assesses patients individually during a consultation. Patients can choose to have either an in-person or virtual consultation with their provider. During the consultation, the provider will review your medical history, family medical history, past and current medications, and past troubles with weight loss. Then he will take the patient’s weight either in-person or self-reported if the patient is virtual. These factors will help the provider determine if Wegovy is a safe and beneficial treatment for them, as Wegovy treatment is based on the patient’s makeup.

How Soon Can I Expect Results?

No two patients are alike, and results vary on each patient’s individual body composition and metabolism. However, many patients begin to see results around the two to three-month mark of the program and see their goals met around the one-year mark.

Is Wegovy Safe To Take Long Term?

Wegovy is intended for long-term use, so it is safe and more effective for Seattle patients to use Wegovy for long periods of time. Because the dosage can be adjusted, once patients reach their goal weight, they can remain on Wegovy to maintain their ideal figure and health. However, for patients that wish to stop Wegovy, Seattle Plastic Surgery offers a program to help slowly reduce the dosage and monitor the patient’s weight to ensure an easy transition. While not necessary, this program is highly recommended for patients who wish to maintain their goal weight.

Does Wegovy Cause Fatigue?

Around 20% of Seattle Wegovy weight loss program patients experience fatigue for the first few weeks of the treatment. This is normal and will wear off after your body adjusts to the medication and slowed digestion. Any effects of fatigue will benefit from a healthy sleep schedule and plenty of rest. After the fatigue fades, Wegovy improves energy levels, allowing patients to become more active.

Why Should I Choose A Local Medical Provider For Wegovy?

Seattle Plastic Surgery knows that patients need more than a prescription to promote healthy weight loss. While Wegovy has many incredible benefits, the providers and staff don’t want to use a cookie-cutter approach to improve their patient’s lives and physical health. That’s why we’ve created the Seattle Wegovy weight loss program to help patients maximize their results through a well-balanced diet plan and regular workout program. The diet plan is not a hardcore, restrictive diet but a meal plan of healthy, incredible meals patients can easily use during their daily routine. Workout programs shouldn’t be exhaustive or intimidating, so the providers created workouts that can be easily integrated into daily activities. Through monthly check-ins and personalized care, Seattle Plastic Surgery offers more than a weight loss prescription. They offer the chance to enhance your quality of life.
