GLP-1 Weight Loss FAQs
Patients often have questions before their consultation. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from patients in Madison.
How much weight can I lose on GLP-1?
GLP-1 medications can help support long-term weight management by regulating appetite and improving metabolic health. When combined with healthy lifestyle habits and medical supervision, these treatments may help patients maintain weight loss and improve overall health outcomes.
How long will I need to stay on treatment?
Yes. GLP-1 medications require evaluation and prescription from a licensed medical provider. During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history and determine whether GLP-1 therapy is an appropriate option for your weight loss goals.
Is this the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are medications used to support weight loss and metabolic health. Semaglutide works by activating GLP-1 receptors that help regulate appetite and blood sugar, while tirzepatide targets multiple hormone pathways that influence hunger and metabolism. Your provider will help determine which medication may be most appropriate based on your individual health history and goals.
What happens when I stop treatment?
Weight loss varies by individual, but many patients experience significant weight reduction when medication is combined with lifestyle changes and medical supervision.
Do you offer semaglutide or tirzepatide?
GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for certain medical uses and have been widely studied. Your provider will review your medical history and discuss potential benefits and risks before starting treatment.
How quickly do patients see results?
Many patients begin noticing appetite changes within the first few weeks of treatment, with gradual weight loss occurring over time.
How often are GLP-1 medications taken?
Many GLP-1 medications used for weight management are administered as a once-weekly injection, though treatment schedules may vary depending on the medication and your personalized treatment plan.
