Medical Weight Loss

Sometimes you get what you pay for – you won’t know where or what they source.  At SUR, we don’t cut corners and our approach includes following a physican supervised treatment plan and only using accredited pharmacy to source our medications.  Having physican supervision provides access to greater safety and success, including side effect management and  tailored dosing.

The body experiences so much as it learns the medication, so it’s expected that there would be a period of time where there is some adjusting. Having physican supervised care during this period is critical to ensuring success and quality of life. Quite simply, if you feel terrible, what’s the point? 

Ozempic and Wegovy are both injections containing the same active ingredient. Ozempic is approved to treat Type 2 diabetes, while Wegovy is a higher-dose version approved for weight loss.

Our protocol includes:

• Medication that is injected subcutaneously into the fat of the abdomen, arm, or thigh with a small insulin syringe
• B-12 Shots
• Optional Anti-nausea, Digestion, & Metabolism supplements
• MD/NP check-in, accountability, and support tools

We frequently also provide discounts on other SUR services to enhance your weight loss journey – including skin tightening with Morpheus8 or CoolPeel.  This information is available during your initial weight loss consultation—book here.

Weight loss medication/peptides can help you achieve your weight loss goals by reducing your appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, which leads to eating less and losing weight. It activates receptors in your brain that regulate blood sugar and appetite, resulting in significant weight loss for some people. These medications should only be used as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes a healthy diet and exercise, and under the guidance of a medical doctor.

During your initial consultation we will determine if you are a fit for our weightloss protocol, but people who are definitely not great candidates would be (according to Wegovy.com), “you or any of your family have ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).”

Additional considerations to be very upfront with during your initial consultation are whether any of the following resonate with you:

• pancreas or kidney problems
• type 2 diabetes (or a history of diabetic retinopathy)
• struggle or have struggled with depression, suicidal thoughts, or mental health issues. Please offer details here, as this could become an important part of your story and influence the weight loss direction
• pregnant or planning to be. These medications may harm your unborn baby.
• breastfeeding or planning to. It is not known if these medications passes into your breast milk.

Unfortunately, your body runs the show, so there’s no way to guarantee any sort of exact weight change. Some see minimal change in the beginning as we slowly introduce the medication, while some will see immediate shifts.  The amount of weight loss is also driven by lifestyle changes and as no two bodies are alike, no results are guaranteed.
