Semaglutide Weight Management Treatment
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the GLP-1 hormone that helps control appetite and hunger. It was recently FDA approved for chronic weight management and has been used for years in the treatment of type II diabetes. Semaglutide can help with many concerns including improving overall metabolic health and reducing appetite. It achieves this by raising insulin levels in the body which allows you to feel fuller longer and sooner. Thus, this can help patients lose weight.
BMI Qualification - Semaglutide Waxahachie TX
Per the FDA, patients with a BMI of 30 or over may qualify for semaglutide weight loss injections, and those with a BMI between 27 and 30 may qualify if they have a weight-related health condition. However, it is important to keep in mind that these guidelines may not apply to every patient. For example, some people with a lot of muscle mass may have a BMI over 30, but do not need to lose weight. Similarly, someone with a BMI under 30 may benefit from medical weight loss.
The providers at Botox Bar consult with patients to help determine their needs. They will review the patient’s medical history and weight struggles to determine if they are a good candidate for semaglutide weight loss Waxahachie.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: “Do you have to take semaglutide at the same time every week?”
The semaglutide injections should be administered on the same day every week. It is best to try and perform the injections during the same time of day, but this is less important than ensuring the semaglutide injections are done on the same day each week. Providers generally recommend choosing a day that is less busy so that patients can adjust to the medication and create a routine of injecting it each week.
Q: “What not to do on semaglutide?”
Semaglutide—while often a well tolerated medication—does require patients to be cautious and be mindful not to do certain things on semaglutide.
- Avoid drinking alcohol
- Do not take any other GLP-1 medications at the same time
- Prevent overeating
- Limit high-fat foods
- Do not use while pregnant or nursing
Q: “When is the best time to take semaglutide injections?”
There is no right or wrong time to take semaglutide injections. Ultimately, the best time is when it is convenient for you and when you will be less likely to forget the injection.
Q: “What to know before taking semaglutide?”
Semaglutide can have major side effects if taken incorrectly or by the wrong patient. Additionally, patients should be aware of the symptoms of low blood sugar and pancreatitis as this can happen when taking semaglutide injections. While these risks are rare with medical weight loss Waxahachie, patients need to understand the risks and know how to respond to them if they occur.
This is also why providing a full medical history to your provider is important for gauging candidacy and safety of an individual patient using semaglutide for weight loss. Generally, no major problems happen, but tell your provider if you have a history of pancreatitis, certain thyroid cancers, severely low blood sugar, allergies, or certain kidney problems.
Q: “What Happens When You Suddenly Stop Semaglutide?”
Patients can stop semaglutide without adverse effects. It is common for patients to gain some weight back, but as long as they follow their diet and exercise plan, they can maintain a healthy weight. Though, it is safe to take semaglutide long term.
Q: “How much weight can I lose in 2 months on semaglutide?”
The amount of weight a patient can lose in two months on semaglutide will vary widely based on the patient. Most agree that the best results are seen after six months to a year on the medication. However, it is not uncommon for patients to notice weight loss within the first two months. But, patients should be realistic about their weight loss and understand that semaglutide is not a magic pill for weight loss, but rather, a tool that can help patients lose and maintain their weight.
