At True Bliss Medical™, our expert healthcare professional, Dr. Alexander Rios, specializes in weight management and is committed to helping patients reach their weight loss goals. Dr. Rios understands that effective weight loss isn’t one-size-fits-all, and therefore offers weight loss injections as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for qualifying patients.
The following criteria is used to determine eligibility for weight loss injections:
• BMI Requirement: As with most medical weight loss treatments, your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a crucial factor. Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher or 27 or higher who also have high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, two diseases linked to obesity, may be considered for weight loss injections.
• Past Weight Loss Efforts: Your past efforts to lose weight will be evaluated. If you’ve struggled to achieve results through methods like diet, exercise, and behavioral therapy, weight loss injections may be a viable option for you.
• Overall Health Status: A comprehensive assessment of your health, including your medical history and current medication regimen, is undertaken to guarantee your safety during the procedure.
Once you are deemed eligible, Dr. Rios will discuss the potential benefits, risks, and side effects of weight loss injections, and provide personalized guidance on dosage, administration, and ongoing monitoring.
Remember, only a healthcare professional can determine if weight loss injections are right for you. Consult with us to discuss your weight loss options.
These treatments have shown promising results in many patients, accelerating metabolism and burning fat at a faster rate. But it’s crucial to keep in mind that these therapies work best when combined with a balanced diet and consistent exercise. Because every patient is different, the outcomes may differ based on their particular body chemistry, lifestyle, starting weight, diet, physical activities, and overall health.
Here are some things to anticipate while trying to lose weight:
• First Few Weeks: During this period, your body adjusts to the medication. Possible side effects like nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort may subside within a few weeks. Gradual weight loss can be expected, with some patients losing a few pounds.
• Weeks 4-12: As the medication reaches its full therapeutic effect, weight loss typically accelerates. Appetite suppression becomes more pronounced, leading to reduced calorie intake. Patients may lose an average of 1-2 pounds per week during this period.
• Months 3-6: Weight loss continues at a steady pace, with many patients achieving significant reductions. The medication helps maintain metabolism and prevent weight regain. However, keep in mind that outcomes could differ depending on factors such as starting weight, dietary adherence, and exercise habits.
• Long-Term Maintenance: To sustain weight loss over the long term, it’s essential to incorporate healthy lifestyle changes. The medication can help maintain weight while you adopt a healthier diet and exercise routine. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
The frequency of these injections is not a one-size-fits-all solution but is instead customized to each patient’s health status weight reduction objectives, and the way the drug affects their body.
In the initial stages of treatment, injections are often administered once or twice weekly while closely monitoring the patient’s progress. As the patient progresses, depending on the patient’s requirements and weight loss success, they could be spaced out to every other week or every month.
We take into account each patient’s overall health status, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and metabolic rate to determine the optimal dosage and frequency for the injections. A personalized treatment plan is developed based on these factors and provides detailed instructions on how often the patient should receive the injections.
It’s important to remember that these injections are part of a comprehensive weight loss plan. They are most effective when combined with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and lifestyle changes. Patients should not self-administer these injections or adjust their dosage without consulting a healthcare professional. Consistently following the prescribed schedule and professional advice is crucial to ensuring your weight loss journey is safe, effective, and results in long-term success.
Composed of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, these injections are designed to accelerate weight loss. However, they are not an over-the-counter product and require a prescription from our licensed healthcare provider.
These injections are not appropriate for everyone. People with specific medical issues might not be a good fit due to potential side effects, which can range from mild symptoms like redness, swelling, and infection at the injection site, to more serious effects in rare cases.
At our practice, we prioritize your safety and well-being. Therefore, we ensure these injections are administered under strict supervision.
Self-medication or obtaining medical weight loss injections without a prescription can be hazardous. These medications can have significant side effects, and there is a greater chance of negative effects if they are used without medical care.
The costs associated with various types of weight loss injections can vary significantly. The type of injection is one factor that can impact the cost dosage and frequency, insurance coverage, and the pharmacy or medical provider.
At True Bliss Medical, we are transparent about these costs as well as assisting you in comprehending your insurance coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.
Apart from the expense of the injections, it’s crucial to take into the cost of associated medical visits, dietary changes, and lifestyle counseling. At our office, we support a holistic strategy for weight loss, which includes regular doctor’s visits for monitoring and prescription renewals, dietary guidance, and lifestyle counseling.
Dr. Rios and our team are committed to helping you reach your weight loss goals. We understand that weight loss injections are not a magic solution, but when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise, they can be a very effective tool.
