Weight Loss Programs

Results vary by individual, but most patients on our programs see 2-4 pounds of weight loss per week during the active phase. Patients using Semaglutide typically lose 15-17% of their body weight over 12-16 months, while Tirzepatide patients may lose 20-22% on average. Your physician will set realistic, personalized goals based on your health profile, starting weight, and metabolic factors.

Yes. When medically appropriate, Dr. Campbell prescribes FDA-approved weight loss medications including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide as part of your comprehensive treatment plan. These medications are prescribed only after a thorough medical evaluation, and your dosage is carefully titrated and monitored throughout your program to ensure safety and optimal efficacy.

Both are once-weekly injectable medications that reduce appetite and promote weight loss. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the GLP-1 hormone to regulate blood sugar and trigger feelings of fullness. Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that targets two incretin hormones simultaneously, which may provide enhanced appetite suppression and metabolic benefits. Clinical trials suggest Tirzepatide produces slightly greater average weight loss. Dr. Campbell will recommend the best option based on your individual health profile.

Our programs are specifically designed for long-term sustainability. We focus on building healthy habits, addressing behavioral patterns, and providing the nutritional education needed to maintain your results after completing the active phase of the program. For patients on medication, Dr. Campbell works with you to develop a maintenance strategy that may include continued low-dose medication, periodic check-ins, and ongoing nutritional support. Our goal is lasting health improvement, not a quick fix.

The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and decreased appetite, particularly during the initial titration phase. These effects are usually mild to moderate and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Starting at a low dose and increasing gradually helps minimize side effects. Your provider will monitor you closely and can adjust your dosage or add supportive treatments if needed.

Yes. Comprehensive lab work is a critical part of your initial evaluation and helps us understand your metabolic health, identify any underlying conditions that may affect weight loss, and establish baseline markers to track your progress. Labs typically include a complete metabolic panel, lipid panel, thyroid function, hemoglobin A1c, and hormone levels. This thorough diagnostic approach ensures that your treatment plan is safe and optimally targeted.

Absolutely. Many of our patients integrate body contouring treatments such as CoolSculpting and EMSculpt as they approach their goal weight. These treatments are excellent for addressing stubborn fat deposits and building muscle definition that enhances your weight loss results. Your provider will advise on the best timing to introduce body contouring into your overall plan.

During the active phase of your program, check-in appointments are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks. These visits include weight and body composition measurements, progress review, side effect management, and any necessary plan adjustments. As you approach your goal weight and transition to maintenance, appointments may be spaced further apart. Our Tulsa office makes scheduling convenient and flexible to fit your lifestyle.
