GLP-1 and Medical Weight Loss Programs

In addition to surgical obesity treatments, KC Bariatric provides medical weight management solutions that can involve certain GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (for example: semaglutide-based medications) when clinically appropriate. GLP-1 receptor agonists assist patients with weight loss through a reduction in appetite, a decrease in the speed of gastric emptying, and better control of blood sugar, allowing individuals to be able to lose considerable amounts of weight without the need for surgery. KC Bariatric creates an individualized treatment plan for each patient, to help them achieve their goal of losing weight and maintaining it. This can consist of a combination of the following: medication therapy; nutrition counseling; behavioral support; exercise guidance; and routine follow-ups.
