Many patients hit a wall in their weight loss efforts, even with consistent diet and exercise. Factors like persistent hunger, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic plateaus can make it difficult to keep moving forward. This kind of stalled progress can be frustrating and discouraging, especially when the usual strategies stop working.
At Robey Plastic Surgery & Regenerative Medicine, we offer semaglutide injections in Carmel, IN, to help certain patients manage these barriers more effectively. Semaglutide can support long-term weight loss when paired with lifestyle changes, and for the right patient, it can make a meaningful difference.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that supports weight loss in certain patients. In medical weight management, we use semaglutide injections to help reduce hunger and improve control over eating habits. You will receive it through a once-weekly injection. Semaglutide is not a quick fix, but it can be a helpful part of a larger weight loss strategy.
Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which impact appetite regulation and insulin response. It slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, helping you feel fuller for longer periods. Semaglutide also reduces the intense hunger spikes that can lead to overeating by supporting more stable blood sugar levels. When combined with diet and activity changes, semaglutide can lead to steady weight loss progress.
Patients who use semaglutide for weight loss often find it easier to manage their appetite and stick to healthier habits. You may experience more control over your eating and fewer urges to snack between meals.
Potential benefits include:
We recommend semaglutide weight loss treatment for patients who have struggled with progress despite making changes to diet and exercise. It can be especially helpful if you experience frequent hunger, difficulty with portion control, or weight-related metabolic issues. You may be a good candidate if your body mass index falls within a certain range or if you have weight-related health concerns such as prediabetes or insulin resistance. We will review your health history, current medications, and goals to determine whether this approach fits your needs.
We begin with a consultation to understand your health history, current habits, and goals. You will talk with us about past weight loss efforts, any underlying conditions, and whether medications like semaglutide make sense for your situation. We also review labs or order new testing if needed, especially if you have concerns related to blood sugar, thyroid function, or hormone balance. Once we gather all the right information, we decide together whether semaglutide is the right approach.
If we move forward, we start with a low dose and gradually increase it to reduce side effects and allow your body to adjust. With weekly injections, you should begin to feel changes in appetite and some initial weight loss. We also talk about lifestyle support and simple changes that can make your progress more consistent.
Once you settle into a steady dose, we monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. Some patients may stay on semaglutide longer, while others may taper off once they reach a certain level of stability. If changes are needed, we will walk you through those step by step.
Pairing semaglutide with realistic changes to your eating habits and physical activity leads to more consistent results. Even small shifts in your daily routine can support appetite control and improve how your body responds to the medication.
If you have underlying hormone imbalances, addressing those can make weight loss more effective. We may recommend lab testing to check for issues like low thyroid function or estrogen and testosterone imbalance.
Supporting your energy, hydration, and nutrient levels can help prevent fatigue or burnout as you lose weight. We may offer IV therapy to complement your treatment.
Semaglutide can help reduce appetite, improve blood sugar control, and support long-term weight loss when other methods fall short. We offer this treatment at Robey Plastic Surgery & Regenerative Medicine, where we evaluate each patient individually to determine whether it fits their goals and medical history.
