Medical Weight Loss - Step-by-Step Process

If you’re considering medical weight loss with Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or another medication, understanding the step-by-step process for receiving medications can help you feel more prepared and confident in your treatment plan. Here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Consultation

The first step in the medical weight loss process is to schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, such as Dr. Lauren Nawrocki. During this appointment, you’ll discuss your weight loss goals, medical history, and any potential risks or concerns. Dr. Nawrocki will help determine if Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or another medication is right for you and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2: Prescription

If you and Dr. Nawrocki decide to move forward with a medical weight loss plan, she will prescribe the appropriate medication and dosage for your needs. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are two examples of prescription medications you may be prescribed.

Step 3: Injection Training

If you are prescribed an injectable medication you’ll receive training on how to properly prepare and inject the medication. This may involve a hands-on demonstration and practice session with a healthcare professional to ensure you feel comfortable with the process.

Step 4: At-Home Administration

Once you’ve received your prescription and injection training, you’ll be able to administer the Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or other medication injections at home. These medications are typically injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. You’ll follow the dosing schedule provided by Dr. Nawrocki, which likely will involve weekly injections, depending on the specific medication and your treatment plan.

Step 5: Follow-Up Appointments

Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Nawrocki are crucial for monitoring your progress, addressing any concerns, and adjusting your treatment plan as needed. These appointments may include weight checks, blood work, and discussions about your overall health and well-being.

While our medical weight loss program focuses on the use of Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and other medications, it’s important to remember that these medications should be used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle for optimal results. 

We will also discuss with you ways to change your lifestyle to help you adopt a plan for a balanced diet and regular physical activity that can support your weight loss efforts and overall health.
