Weight gain can happen over time when you’re not consistent with healthy habits. Men can also gain weight unexpectedly due to underlying health issues or a hormone imbalance. At Vantage Health and Wellness, patient-focused weight loss plans are available to help you burn fat consistently, so you can achieve an ideal body weight. Michael Jurewicz, MD, and Sumit De, MD, prescribe medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide to help you reach your weight loss goals.

When should I schedule a weight loss consultation?

You can benefit from the weight loss programs available at Vantage Health and Wellness if you’re overweight or obese and aren’t sure where to start on your weight loss journey.

The board-certified physicians also recommend that you explore your options for weight loss if you’re overweight and have or are at high risk for obesity-related conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), or stroke.

The team personalizes a medical weight loss plan to your unique health needs and personal goals. They prescribe weight loss medications to boost your metabolism and help you burn fat more efficiently. 

Which weight loss services are available?

Vantage Health and Wellness offers prescription weight loss medications, including semaglutide (Ozempic®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®). These injectable medications are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that mimic hormones naturally found in your digestive tract. 

GPLI-1 medications act like your natural hormones by sending signals to your brain to produce more insulin to lower blood sugar levels. They also help you feel fuller for longer to suppress your appetite, so you eat less.

How long does it take to see results of medical weight loss?

The efficiency of the weight loss medications available at Vantage Health and Wellness varies from person to person. 

Typically, you can expect to see noticeable results of treatment with semaglutide and other weight loss drugs within 8-12 weeks. However, some people may notice a change in their appetite and weight loss earlier - sometimes within the first month. 

The physicians gradually increase your dosage to allow your body time to adjust to the medications. You may notice more substantial weight loss during weeks 5-20. With regular exercise and a healthy diet, you can maintain the results of medical weight loss after your treatment is complete. 

Your provider discusses what to expect from your weight loss program during your initial consultation. They may also recommend intravenous (IV) therapy, peptide therapy, and other wellness services that support your health and your weight loss results.
