DR. LOU'S SEMAGLUTIDE
WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

Lou Plastic Surgery Introduces the Newest and Most Effective Weight Loss Medication to Their Medically Supervised Program!

Your Trusted Partner in Achieving Your Weight Loss Goals

For various people, obesity is a big problem. It may seem like no matter what diet you go on or what foods you eat, you just struggle to lose body fat. Fortunately, things are about to change thanks to Dr. Lou's new weight loss program. The best part is that it doesn't require any invasive surgery, and it has been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for weight loss purposes.

What is Semaglutide?

In technical terms, this is a small peptide or protein that works to reduce appetite and increase blood sugar metabolism as it activates your body's metabolic pathways. This FDA-approved protein has been marketed under the names of Saxenda and Ozempic to treat type two diabetes since 2017. In the early summer of 2021, it was approved by the FDA to help patients with weight loss under the brand name Wegovy.

What is the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Both drugs show promise not only in improving metabolic health, reducing hemaglobin A1C (hbA1C), and assisting with weight loss—the data also shows that they may reduce the likelihood of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke and improve cardiovascular outcomes across the board.

Key Facts:

●     Semaglutide uses 1 receptor (hunger hormones). Loses 6-12% of body weight in 12-16 months.

●     Tirzapatide uses 2 receptors (hunger hormones). Loses 15-23% of body weight in 12-16 months.

How Does this Weight Loss Program Work?

Our weight loss program uses a dual-prong approach to help you lose weight at a rate of one to three pounds per week. Most patients will see weight loss of around 15% of their total body weight over the life of our program. The first prong of our weight loss program is semaglutide injections once a week administered by Dr. Lou.

The second prong is weight loss guidance and ongoing support throughout the process. With our follow-up appointments, Dr. Lou will be able to track your results and assist you in alleviating any side effects you may be experiencing, such as constipation or nausea. We'll also share with you tactics on how to make weight loss work better for you.

Most patients on this weight loss program find the following tips extremely vital to their success:

●     Consuming light and bland foods

●     Eating smaller meals slowly

●     Drinking unsweetened tea or water

What Are the Side Effects of Semaglutide?

The most common side effects of semaglutide are nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. These typically occur in the earlier stages of treatment and resolve over time. Slowly increasing your dosage under close supervision from your healthcare provider can help you minimize these side effects. You should seek medical attention immediately if you experience a change in urine production, vision changes, nausea and vomiting that doesn't go away, or severe abdominal or stomach pain.

It is important to be mindful of what you are eating in order to prevent or lessen the side effects that may come along with it. While nausea is a common side effect of the medication, it can be managed by simply avoiding foods that are fatty, fast, fried, or high in sugar.

Who is This Weight Loss Program Designed For?

While anyone who is overweight or obese can benefit from a structured weight loss program, the FDA has outlined some key traits that optimal patients will have. They will be an adult with a body mass index BMI of 30kg/m2 or higher. Patients that have a BMI of 27kg/m2 or higher paired with at least one weight-related illness are also ideal patients. These illnesses may include high blood pressure, type two diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Semaglutide Weight Loss Program Q&A:

  • Before starting the weight loss program, the physician will evaluate your medical history, individual needs, and bloodwork results to determine whether it is suitable for you. You will receive a Semaglutide injection once a week until you have reached your goal weight. Throughout the program, our team will provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your weight loss journey, including monthly follow-up appointments to track your progress.

  • Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 receptor agonist) in a class of medications called incretin mimetics. It is a once-weekly injectable medication that slows down the release of sugar into your blood, so your body burns more fat. It works by mimicking the hormone responsible for sending signals of satiety (fullness) to the brain, limiting overall calorie consumption and delaying stomach emptying.

  • The ideal candidate for our weight loss program is an adult with a body mass index (BMI) that is greater than 25. As part of our program, it is required to undergo bloodwork within the year to detect any health conditions that could either contraindicate your participation or hinder your ability to achieve your weight loss goals.

  • The program is customized to each patient’s needs. On average, a minimum of 12 weeks on the program is required to see results. Once you have achieved your goal weight, a maintenance plan will be discussed.

  • The results of Semaglutide injections for weight loss may vary from person to person. You can start feeling the effects of the Semaglutide at your first dose and many patients start experiencing weight loss within the first few weeks. As the dosage increases, patients can expect to see a continued decrease in body weight.

  • We offer the convenience of picking up a one-month supply of the medication from our office, allowing you to self-administer the medication in the comfort of your own home. However, if you're not comfortable injecting yourself, our team is happy to administer the weekly injection for you in our office.
