Our experienced medical professionals craft customized weight loss strategies to help patients pursue their health goals safely and effectively.

Potential to Lose 15% or More of Your Body Weight

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved prescription treatment designed for adults who are living with obesity or who are overweight with related health concerns. This medication activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain to help manage hunger and reduce calorie intake.

When paired with healthier lifestyle choices, clinical studies have shown that Wegovy may help individuals lose around 15% or more of their starting weight.* At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Grapevine, we offer in-person prescribing and tailor your treatment to fit your individual needs.

How Wegovy May Assist in Weight Loss

Wegovy mimics GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that plays a role in appetite and glucose regulation. By influencing receptors in the brain, it can help individuals feel full faster and stay full longer, which may lead to reduced caloric intake.

It also slows gastric emptying, enhancing the sense of fullness after meals, and can improve how the body responds to insulin. These combined effects may contribute to steady weight loss over time. Our Grapevine medical team incorporates Wegovy into a holistic care plan personalized for each patient.

Your Wegovy Journey in Grapevine

During your consultation at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Grapevine, we’ll discuss your medical history, weight loss challenges, and overall goals. Our team will determine whether Wegovy is appropriate for you and walk you through how it works.

Treatment typically begins at a low dosage to minimize possible side effects, then increases gradually. Wegovy is administered once weekly via a prefilled injection pen. The shot is delivered just beneath the skin, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. We provide thorough instructions to ensure you’re comfortable with the process.

Does Insurance Cover Wegovy?

Depending on your insurance provider and coverage plan, Wegovy may be partially or fully covered. Our Grapevine clinic staff will assist in verifying your benefits and help you navigate any necessary documentation. We are experienced in working with insurance companies and strive to make this treatment accessible whenever possible.

Wegovy FAQs

How long will I need to take Wegovy?

Wegovy is designed for ongoing use as part of a long-term weight management plan. Patients typically continue taking it as long as they experience benefit, with regular follow-ups to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.

Are side effects common?

Mild side effects are relatively common in the beginning and often improve as your body gets used to the medication. Starting at a low dose and increasing gradually can help reduce discomfort.

Is Wegovy the same as Ozempic®?

While both medications contain semaglutide, they are approved for different purposes. Ozempic is prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes, whereas Wegovy is specifically approved for weight loss. Dosage and treatment protocols differ accordingly.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If your next dose is more than 48 hours away, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it's less than 48 hours until your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and take the next dose as usual. We’ll explain the full process during your appointment.
