Ozempic Seattle
Losing weight can be a difficult process for many people. Although it’s not always a serious health concern, obesity and severe weight gain can impact a person’s health throughout the years. There are many reasons a person may not be able to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, including medical conditions, genetics, or the inability to create a healthier lifestyle. Ozempic is a new and approved weight loss drug that is revolutionizing weight loss for many people. Although it was originally used to treat type 2 diabetes, it’s now approved for weight loss. Seattle Plastic Surgery is offering a new weight loss program to its clients. By utilizing the incredible weight loss drug Ozempic combined with an exercise and nutrition program, Seattle clients can take the first step in transforming their lives.
Ozempic Dosage Plan
How Does Ozempic Work?
Ozempic is an FDA-approved medication for type 2 diabetes. It helps those with type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels and can even prevent complications from type 2 diabetes like a stroke or heart attack.
Ozempic is an approved prescription drug that aids those suffering from type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels which helps the body regulate insulin levels. Although it majorly benefits those with type 2 diabetes, it can also benefit weight loss.
Ozempic contains a GLP-1-like component that mimics the hormone that tells us when we’re full. Ozempic slows down the food processing system and allows food to digest slower, keeping the full feeling for the patient longer. This allows it to suppress appetite without promoting binge dieting or extreme restrictive eating. GLP-1 also increases insulin levels and promotes insulin sensitivity and collagen production, aiding metabolism. This majorly benefits Seattle patients who struggle with their weight.
Benefits and Risks of Ozempic
With any prescription, there are many benefits a few side effects, and risks. Ozempic may not be safe for every patient, so Seattle Plastic Surgery wants their patients to have a thorough consultation before taking Ozempic. For instance, patients with medical conditions that affect the thyroid, gallbladder, or pancreas may not qualify to take Ozempic. Your provider will be able to best advise each patient after evaluating their individual circumstances.
However, for most patients, Ozempic greatly benefits their lives and far outweighs any risks associated with the medication. Below are just a few of the benefits that come from the Seattle Ozempic weight loss program:

The Ozempic Weight Loss Program
With more people realizing the weight loss benefits of Ozempic, more patients are seeking treatment to aid in losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle. At Seattle Plastic Surgery, patients who qualify for Ozempic can also expect a weight loss program that includes nutritional and workout programs to produce the best results.
Following the consultation, in which the provider will ensure the patient can take Ozempic safely, they will then be given the prescription that they can fufill at the pharmacy of their choosing. The weight loss program will begin after they start the medication. Patients will have either in-person or virtual monthly check-ins with their provider to check their weight loss progression, evaluate any side effects, and discuss their diet and exercise plans.
Seattle Plastic Surgery aims to benefit its clients by easing them into a full dosage of Ozempic. We follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer, but this can be adjusted if the patient does not respond well or has specific health conditions. However, the general recommended dosage goes as follows:
- 0.25 mg for the first 4 weeks – once weekly
- 0.5 mg for the next 4 weeks – once weekly
- 1 mg for the following 4 weeks – once weekly
- 2 mg for the rest of the time & maintenance – once weekly
The monthly check-ins will allow the provider to evaluate each patient’s unique needs and physical makeup and adjust the dose as needed. Seattle Plastic Surgery will provide a vitamin B supplement to Seattle Ozempic patients to aid with any nausea or gas that can come with the treatment.
Ozempic Prescription Plan
At Seattle Plastic Surgery, we offer many different weight loss programs. However, if you choose the name brand Ozempic, you will go through the pharmacy of your choosing once you are prescribed the medication. The price for the Ozempic weight loss plan is $199, not including the price of the medication. However, this does include the initial consultation, diet and exercise plans, monthly check-ins, and 24/7 access to on-call doctors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens During An Ozempic Weight Loss Consultation?
At Seattle Plastic Surgery, patients are assessed individually during an in-person or virtual consultation. The provider will ensure you are a good candidate for Ozempic by reviewing your past medical history, prior and current medications, family medical history, and prior experience with weight loss. The provider will also take the patient’s weight, either self-reported if the patient is virtual or in person. Qualifying for Ozempic depends on a person’s unique physical makeup, needs, and goals. All of these factors will ensure that the patient can safely take Ozempic.
How Soon Will I Start Seeing Results?
The rate at which patients will begin to see results depends on each patient’s metabolism and physical makeup. Generally, patients begin to see results after two to three months of staying on the Ozempic weight loss program and will see their optimal results around the one-year mark.
How Long Can I Stay On Ozempic?
Ozempic is intended for long-term use so that patients can stay on the treatment for long periods of time. Once the patient reaches their goal weight, they can continue to stay on the same prescribed dose that works for them. Suppose a patient wants to get off of Ozempic. In that case, Seattle Plastic Surgery offers a program to begin tapering the dosage so the provider can monitor any major weight changes and ensure the patient gets off of Ozempic without losing their goal weight. The decreased dosage plan is not necessary, but it is highly recommended.
Can Ozempic Make Me Tired?
It’s common for some patients to experience fatigue and exhaustion for the first few weeks after starting Ozempic. The fatigue should wear off as your body adjusts to the treatment and new digestive process. During the first few weeks, patients should get plenty of rest and establish a healthy sleep schedule. Only twenty percent of Ozempic patients experience extreme fatigue in the first few weeks of the treatment. Ozempic improves energy levels after a few weeks and helps patients maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
What Foods Should I Avoid When Taking Ozempic?
Due to the Ozempic weight loss program, patients will have a nutritional plan to aid them in their weight loss. This plan helps patients change their eating habits long-term and promotes a well-balanced diet. However, it’s recommended that patients avoid processed and sugary foods to allow Ozempic to aid the body properly.
Why Should I Come To A Local Medical Provider?
Seattle Plastic Surgery doesn’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach to weight loss. Rather than prescribing Ozempic and leaving patients alone in their journey, we believe in helping our patients every step of the way. We offer nutritional and workout programs to aid patients in maximizing the treatment results and are always available to help with every client’s individual needs.
