You’ve decided to stop dieting on your own and join a medical program, and now you’re looking at the three names your friends keep mentioning: Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. In a weight loss injection program in Freehold, NJ, you and your provider will choose the right medication together, and the team stays involved after the prescription is written.
So, how will the two of you make both decisions at Dr. G Anti-Aging?
How Does a Weight Loss Injection Program in Freehold, NJ Choose Between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Wegovy and Ozempic are both semaglutide. Mounjaro and Zepbound are both tirzepatide, which adds a second appetite hormone. In the trials, it produced a larger loss, about 18% of body weight against 15%.
At your first visit, you and your provider will go over your weight history, your medications, and an A1C and metabolic panel drawn that day. Based on those results and your budget, which our office can spread out with Cherry financing, the two of you will choose one to start with, likely semaglutide if you’re new to these medications and tirzepatide if you’ve plateaued on one before.
In the event that the first one upsets your stomach or stalls by the third month, you and your provider will switch to the other rather than stop.
How Often Will I See the Weight Loss Team, and Who Keeps Me Accountable?
Typically, you and your provider will meet every four weeks on Thoreau Drive for a weigh-in and a dose review, along with a conversation about where the weekends went sideways. Between visits, you’re welcome to call the office with anything that feels off.
At every check-in, the two of you will also go over your protein and sleep. Rest assured, you won’t just get a prescription and go home.
Once you reach your goal, you and your provider will work out a maintenance plan together, which may mean a lower dose or a longer gap between injections, so the weight stays off.
