 Injectable weight loss medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide  have been shown to lead to reductions of 15-20% of bodyweight with diet and exercise. Most people lose 1-2 lbs per week when consistently following a program.

We are all unique! Just as we should be. As such, results vary. In general, people notice weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment. 

Semaglutide is an injectable medication taken one time a week to help you loose weight. It mimics the body’s natural hormone called GLP-1 and works to lessen cravings, curb hunger, and slow digestion. 

Medications are ordered promptly upon receipt of your monthly membership fee. It's important to note that medications are not ordered before the monthly membership is processed. We aim to ensure seamless delivery of your medications, but please be aware that pharmacies typically require seven to ten days to receive, fill, and deliver the medication to you. Your timely payment ensures that we can initiate this process efficiently, guaranteeing you uninterrupted access to the medications you need to support your health journey.

Side effects can happen with any medication or supplements. The most common are GI in nature including nausea, acid reflux and constipation. There are ways to lessen side effects. We will discuss this at your consult visit. 

The use of these medications is seen as a small part of a larger picture. While taking these meds we will be working with you on habits and mindset that lay a strong foundation for the future. After you reach your weight loss goal, we will work with you to gradually reduce the medications. Of course, all of this is highly dependent on your unique needs and health status. 

Yep! Sure is. At Surge Metabolic we are with you for the long haul. We provide ongoing support and resources to help you sustain your new healthy way of life!

 Unfortunately, most insurances do not cover these medications and they are quite expensive even with an insurance plan. By using a compounding pharmacy, prices are cut by 2/3! Just for comparison sakes - from a retail pharmacy, a single month of Wegovy® (semaglutide) can be around $1300.
