Will Semaglutide Work for Me?

Getting on a path towards a healthier future isn’t always easy, and our compassionate board-certified DFW weight loss surgeon understands that dieting and exercise aren’t always enough to achieve your goals. Obesity is a chronic metabolic condition often accompanied by other weight-related medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease — if a healthy lifestyle isn’t providing the results you seek, our practice offers Wegovy^® semaglutide injections to help Dallas patients better manage their weight and control their hunger. Semaglutide is a prescription medication that can make you feel fuller faster, allowing you to manage your appetite and achieve satiety with less food. That said, semaglutide may not be effective — or the best treatment option — for every person. 

If you’ve tried other weight loss techniques to no avail, semaglutide injections can be effective for patients who: 

• Are healthy and have not achieved success with other weight loss methods
• Wish to avoid weight loss procedures like gastric bypass and duodenal switch surgery
• Have a BMI equal to or greater than 30
• Have a BMI of at least 27 and are bothered by at least one obesity-related medical condition

It’s important to remember that semaglutide may not provide lasting weight loss for everyone, and some patients experience a “plateau” in their results. If Wegovy^® isn’t effective for you, Bagshahi Bariatric & General Surgery provides a range of minimally invasive weight loss options to elevate your health and quality of life. Our team will work with you to maximize your results and/or find the best treatment to ensure long-term weight loss. 

Our North Dallas team of weight loss specialists are passionate about helping you achieve your health goals by finding the best treatment for your own individual needs, medical history, and preferences.
