Weight Loss Medications
Exploring Weight Loss Medication Options
Finding the right path to weight loss isn’t one size fits all. At Inspire Bariatrics in McKinney, serving patients across the DFW metroplex and surrounding areas, we offer more than surgery. We provide a full range of options including prescription weight loss medications, nutritional guidance, and surgical solutions.
During your consultation with Dr. Peery, you’ll have the chance to explore whether medications may be a safe and effective option for your goals. Factors like your current health conditions, the amount of weight you want to lose, and your insurance coverage all play a role in determining the right plan for you.
Our goal is to create a personalized approach that helps you achieve long-term success, whether through medication, surgery, or a combination of treatments.
- Are you already taking medication for another condition?
- Is your weight loss goal more or less than 100 pounds?
- Does your insurance cover weight loss medications?
What Are GLP-1s and How Do They Work?
GLP-1 medications are a class of FDA-approved weight loss treatments that work by regulating appetite, slowing digestion, improving blood sugar control, and increasing feelings of fullness. Common options include semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and similar medications.
These treatments are typically administered as a once-weekly injection and have been shown to help patients achieve significant and sustainable weight loss, especially when combined with healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Because new medications are always being developed, it is important to consult with a medical professional before starting GLP-1 therapy. Dr. Peery will evaluate your health, goals, and medical history to determine whether GLP-1 medications are the right choice for you.
