Are You a Good Candidate for Wegovy?

When you've tried all the conventional methods available to lose weight, and you're still finding yourself stuck, it's good to know that you have options. At Slimmetry Medical Center in Metairie, LA, our team is here to help you feel your best. Here, we'll explore how to decide if you might be a candidate for Wegovy, an injectable weight loss medication. 

What is Wegovy?

 Wegovy is a brand name for semaglutide. The medicine mimics GLP-1, a hormone that naturally occurs in the body. GLP-1 regulates appetite and food intake. This can make it easier to eat the amount of food that your body needs. Approved by the FDA for weight loss, many patients find that Wegovy helps to achieve long-term health and wellness goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for Wegovy?

 Wegovy is a safe choice for many people who want to lose weight. Wegovy is a good fit for people who are currently overweight or obese and are interested in losing weight. Wegovy may not be a good fit for people who have a history of thyroid cancer or pancreatitis, people who have type 1 diabetes, or people who are using other medications to support weight loss. 

What Results Can I Expect While Using Wegovy?

 Many patients using Wegovy experienced a weight loss of about 15% of their starting body weight. Your Slimmetry Medical Center provider will work with you to create a plan that combines medication and lifestyle changes to help you lose a healthy amount of weight for your body.
