Wegovy (Semaglutide) in NYC & New Jersey

If you frequently struggle with weight loss, you may be a good candidate for Wegovy in NYC & New Jersey. Wegovy is an injectable prescription medication for weight loss in obese adults and teenagers. Wegovy, which is the brand name for semaglutide, is in the class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1.

How Does Wegovy Work?

The hormone GLP-1 is active in several areas of the brain for regulating our food intake. When you take Wegovy (semaglutide), it activates your GLP-1 receptors, which makes you think you're full. As a result, your appetite is reduced, and it becomes much easier to limit your calorie intake.

How Much Weight Can You Lose With Wegovy?

In clinical studies, patients taking Wegovy for 68 weeks lost an average of 35 lbs (15% of their body weight). If you take Wegovy for one year, you can likely expect to lose at least 5% of your body weight.

I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man.

Everybody treated me like a king. The day of surgery, I was excited. The hospital couldn’t be any nicer. I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man. My recovery was awesome. I was out of bed that day. My wife and kids were my motivation on getting this surgery. They are my whole life. I’m happy I’m going to be around for them.

I hit my goal weight ... and I feel fabulous

I had the gastric bypass. I am Type 2 Diabetic and I wanted to gain control of my sugar. I hit my goal weight in about 5 and half months and I feel fabulous. The procedure has completely changed my life for the better because it has empowered me as a middle aged woman that I can really do everything and anything that I want to do. I don't put an age on anything. I don't say I'm too old for something.

I was tired of the way I looked. I was tired of the way I felt.

I knew if I didn't change something soon, I was going to be in a lot of trouble. The consultation process was a lot easier than I expected. I was met with open arms. I was treated like I was the only patient here. Not only did they answer all of my questions, they had questions for me to make sure I was the right candidate for the surgery. After surgery and that weight started dropping off, my life started changing for the better.
