What to Expect Before and After Weight Loss Injections

At Centered Primary Care, we understand that each patient’s journey to better health is unique. If you’re considering weight loss injections, our team is here to help you determine whether these treatments are appropriate for your specific health circumstances and goals.

Weight loss injections can be worth considering for individuals who struggle to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. These injections are often prescribed as part of a medically supervised program and work by improving metabolism, reducing appetite, or helping the body burn fat more efficiently. When used responsibly and combined with healthy lifestyle habits, they can offer a valuable boost in reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.

However, their effectiveness depends on individual health conditions, consistency, and ongoing lifestyle choices. Weight loss injections are not a standalone solution but rather a supportive tool to help initiate or accelerate progress. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider ensure safety, proper dosage, and long-term success. For many patients, the benefits—such as improved energy, confidence, and overall health—can make weight loss injections a worthwhile part of a comprehensive weight management plan.

We take a comprehensive, patient-centered approach. Our providers will review your medical history, current medications, and existing health concerns to determine if you are a candidate for these medications. We’re committed to helping you make informed, personalized decisions for your long-term health and well-being.

At Centered Primary Care, we understand that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t always as simple as “eat less and move more.” For many patients, medical support is a necessary part of their weight management journey. That’s why we offer evidence-based options like weight loss injections as part of our comprehensive approach to wellness.

Weight loss shots offer several key benefits when used as part of a medically supervised program.

Benefits of Weight Loss Shots:

• Appetite Control: Help reduce cravings and promote a feeling of fullness, making it easier to manage portion sizes.

• Improved Metabolism: Boost the body’s ability to burn fat and convert it into energy more efficiently.

• Enhanced Energy Levels: Support increased vitality, focus, and motivation throughout the day.

• Better Blood Sugar Regulation: Aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels, which can reduce overeating and fatigue.

• Sustainable Weight Loss: Encourage gradual, consistent fat reduction for long-term success.

• Improved Confidence and Well-Being: As weight decreases, many patients experience greater self-esteem and overall life satisfaction.

When guided by a qualified healthcare provider, weight loss shots can be a safe and effective addition to a comprehensive weight management plan. At Centered Primary Care, we focus on whole-person care, helping patients achieve long-term wellness through safe and effective solutions. Weight loss shots can play an important role in this process by reducing appetite and cravings through hormones that regulate hunger and satiety, making it easier to maintain a balanced eating plan.

At Centered Primary Care, our mission is to provide comprehensive, patient-centered solutions for every aspect of your health—including weight management. We understand that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging, and we’re committed to supporting you with the most effective, evidence-based options available.

Weight loss injections offer a balanced approach between lifestyle changes and more invasive procedures. They work by reducing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, and improving how the body processes fat and sugar. Compared to oral medications or diet programs alone, injections often produce faster and more consistent results when used under medical supervision.

While surgical procedures may deliver more dramatic results, weight loss injections are non-surgical, require little to no downtime, and can be easily combined with a healthy lifestyle for long-term success. They are an effective option for those who want medical support without undergoing surgery, providing a safe, controlled, and sustainable path toward better weight management.

At Centered Primary Care, we believe that weight management is not one-size-fits-all. Your health history, goals, and preferences matter. Our clinicians will partner with you to evaluate all available options—lifestyle changes, oral medications, weight loss injections, and surgical referrals—helping you make an informed decision tailored to your unique needs.

At Centered Primary Care, we take a personalized and patient-centered approach to managing weight. Typically, a suitable candidate for weight loss injections at our practice is an adult with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above, which classifies them as obese. Adults with a BMI of 27 or higher who suffer from health issues linked to their weight, like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, are also included in our considerations.

Before recommending weight loss injections, our providers at Centered Primary Care work closely with patients to support healthy lifestyle changes, including nutrition and physical activity. We may consider weight loss medications for patients who have tried these approaches but have not achieved or maintained significant weight loss.

During your consultation, our healthcare team will thoroughly review your medical history and overall health. Certain health issues, like a past occurrence of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, could indicate that these medications are not suitable for you.

Additionally, weight loss injections are not recommended for women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. At Centered Primary Care, your safety and well-being are our top priority. We will partner with you to determine if weight loss injections are an appropriate option for your unique needs and weight loss goals.
