SEMAGLUTIDE
Long term weight loss program
WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?
Semaglutide injections are currently one of the most popular weight loss aids on the market! Originally used to treat diabetes, these injections have been approved for long term weight loss.
This medication works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone that is responsible for telling us when we are full. It also slows gastric emptying, leaving you feeling fuller for longer! On top of these benefits, it also helps control insulin levels which aids in losing excess fat.

How does our weight loss program work?
Here at Coastal757, we always want to help you feel and look your best! Many women & men suffer with excess weight and struggle with getting it off (& keeping it off). We have created a weight loss program to aid in safe weight loss!
Consultation: The first step to our program is to schedule a consultation ($50 fee). This consultation will be more extensive, as we will be reviewing your entire medical history to ensure this injection is safe for you!
Labs: We will order any necessary labs. If you would like your labs drawn in office, we do have a discounted self pay rate for our Semaglutide patients. If you have had labs done in the last 6 months, you can bring them with you.
First Month: Once approved by one of our MDs or NPs, you will be able to begin our program. If this is your first time on Semaglutide, you will be seen in the office weekly for the first 4 weeks. This is to ensure we can help with dosing, self injecting, & aid in any side effects.
Monthly: At your 4th visit, you will get your vial and be able to begin self injections. We will require monthly follow ups to make you are doing well with the side effects, weight loss, and that your overall health is still doing well. We may require labs periodically as well to track how your body is responding to the injections and weight loss.
After 4 months of being on our program, you will unlock our VIP specials! These specials are to treat the unwanted side effects of rapid weight loss (muscle loss & skin laxity)
Semaglutide was designed for long term usage, some patients will need to go on maintenance dosages after their goal weight has been met.
