MidAmerica Plastic Surgery’s new customized medical weight loss program comes in, featuring two groundbreaking medications: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
These medications, when dosed according to your needs and closely monitored by a qualified provider, are expected to result in an average total body weight loss of 12%-20% by the completion of the treatment.
Potential Side Effects
There are potential side effects associated with these weight loss drugs, most of which will be temporary and carefully managed by your provider to ensure minimal disruption to daily activities. The most common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, indigestion, constipation, and bloating.
Side Effect Management
Nearly all side effects are temporary and easily managed. It is essential to drink plenty of water and consume nutritionally dense meals. IV therapy provides optimal nutrient absorption and bypasses the digestive system entirely, which is particularly beneficial to our weight loss patients. Additionally, IV therapy allows for higher doses of nutrients to be administered than would be possible through oral intake alone. High doses of certain vitamins or minerals can cause irritation or discomfort when taken orally, but with IV therapy, these nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream without causing any gastrointestinal distress.
At MidAmerica Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, we offer a variety of IV drips tailored to specific patient needs. A popular IV drip for our medical weight loss patients is our Fit Fusion, which aids in burning fat, increases energy levels, boosts metabolism, and provides essential B vitamins. Patients who take part in our medical weight loss program get the Fit Fusion for $50 off.
Our menu also includes add-on’s to your IV drip, such as Glutathione, which is essential for cellular health and overall well-being. Key functions of Glutathione include:
Key Functions:
- Protects cells from oxidative stress.
- Detoxifies harmful substances.
- Supports the immune system.
- Maintains tissue health.
- Involved in DNA synthesis and repair.
However, if you’re feeling under the weather, dehydrated, or simply just wanting to maintain overall wellness, we offer IV Therapy to everyone! These can be added onto your already booked service as well. IV Therapy is also beneficial for patients in recovery post-surgery with Dr. Diederich!
