Is Medical Weight Loss Painful?

Our medical weight loss program is designed for gradual improvements. Some side effects may present during recovery or the initial stages of treatment for patients undergoing bariatric surgery or liraglutide injections. These side effects should be reduced over time and can be managed by following Dr. Landford’s post-operative instructions.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The exact number of appointments in a medical weight loss program will vary by patient, as each treatment plan is customized. Dr. Landford advises patients to follow the full program to achieve the best results. Please be advised that patients discontinuing semaglutide injections following the completion of their program will resume weight gain.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Patients on more gradual weight loss programs will have varied experiences with visible changes in their treatment plans. For patients undergoing medical interventions such as semaglutide, weight loss may occur as soon as the first week, and they can expect to lose about 10% to 15% of their body weight by the completion of their medical weight loss program.

Can I Combine Medical Weight Loss with Other Procedures?

Please inform Dr. Landford about your aesthetic goals in your consultation. She will be able to help you develop a safe medical weight loss treatment plan in combination with other desired procedures, such as a high-definition liposuction or a Brazilian Butt Lift.
