Weight loss supplements and medications seem to always hit the market before being taken off and replaced by something else. Semaglutide is a weight loss medication that supports a healthy lifestyle and sustainable weight loss. Through semaglutide, Seattle Plastic Surgery provides thousands of Americans with an option to lose weight and curate better habits. Seattle Plastic Surgery provides patients with the highest quality semaglutide with B12 in Seattle and Tacoma.
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists. GLP1 medications work like the hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1. This hormone helps control appetite, hunger, and gastric emptying. Therefore, the semaglutide tricks your body into feeling fuller for longer and earlier when eating.
B12 refers to Vitamin B12. Naturally, it is found in animal products, primarily meat and dairy. People who are vegetarian or vegan can also get small amounts of Vitamin B12 in shiitake mushrooms and soy milk. This vitamin helps keep blood and nerve cells healthy. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent megaloblastic anemia which can cause a tired and sluggish feeling. However, it also supports protein metabolism which helps protect the body’s metabolism. Thus, adding B12 can help encourage a better functioning metabolism and complement semaglutide injections.
With the combination of semaglutide and B12, the medicine reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and promotes better eating habits. Patients taking semaglutide generally begin on a gradual diet and exercise plan. This promotes the best possible results from semaglutide with B12 for weight loss.
Along with the chemistry behind how semaglutide interacts with the body, semaglutide with B12 also helps patients keep up their motivation and morale during the often frustrating weight loss process. Instead of hitting major plateaus or experiencing setbacks, semaglutide helps limit and reduce these instances with proper use.
There are several benefits to using compounded semaglutide with B12 for weight loss. Some of the benefits may include:
Like other medications, semaglutide may come with some minor side effects. Most of the time, these side effects improve or go away within about two weeks of the medication. However, the addition of Vitamin B12 can help ease some of the more troublesome side effects and make the medication more tolerable. Some possible side effects include:
As mentioned, Vitamin B12 can help ease side effects such as nausea and fatigue. However, if semaglutide side effects become prolonged or severe, Seattle Plastic does offer other options such as tirzepatide which often comes with fewer side effects for patients unable to tolerate semaglutide for weight loss.
Seattle Plastic Surgery offers in-person and virtual consultations for compounded semaglutide with weight loss. Firstly, your provider will want to get a good understanding of your medical history and current medications. They may also about your history with your weight and weight loss to better understand your specific needs.
Your provider will then discuss the medication, benefits, risks, and potential side effects. They will also describe the results you can expect and a rough timeline. If they believe you are a good candidate for semaglutide B12 weight loss, your provider will describe and demonstrate how to administer the medication. Patients who come in person can receive their first dose at the consultation appointment.
Semaglutide with B12 injections is generally injected into either the upper arm, thigh, or stomach. However, in specific circumstances, other areas such as the buttocks may suffice. Injected just beneath the skin, the injections usually cause little pain and are quick. The medication may come in either a pen which makes injections even easier or a traditional syringe. Regardless, your provider will show you how to do it. Also, Seattle Plastic Surgery has medical professionals on call 24/7 for issues. For patients who can make it into the office weekly, our providers are more than happy to administer the injections for them.
Along with the weekly injections, Seattle Plastic Surgery recommended following a diet and exercise plan. Changes can be gradual and small at first. Patients who take time to develop better eating and exercise habits are more likely to see the best and most lasting results after stopping the medication.
Your provider will ask about your lifestyle and current habits. Using this information, they will help craft a few small changes that you can make. At each monthly check-in appointment, patients can review their diet and exercise plan with their provider.
Studies have shown that patients tend to see significant weight loss when using semaglutide. Some patients lost up to 20% of their body weight in six months. However, everyone’s body will respond differently to semaglutide treatment. Patients can usually expect noticeable weight loss within six months, but generally should stay on the medication to reach and maintain their goals.
Patients may choose to discontinue use of semaglutide eventually. However, for weight loss, it is generally recommended that patients not experiencing major side effects, stay on the medication for at least six months to one year. However, patients can safely stay on semaglutide for many years, if they choose.
A compounding pharmacy manufactures custom-made versions of medications. This can be done to remove ingredients that a patient may be allergic to, or it can also add ingredients. In the case of semaglutide, it adds Vitamin B12 to the formula. Compounding pharmacies are widely used and considered safe.
Patients on semaglutide should avoid drinking alcohol as this can cause the blood sugar to drop quicker and to more dangerous levels. While it may not interact, it is generally recommended that patients avoid alcohol while on semaglutide B12 injections. Other possible things to avoid during semaglutide treatment may include:
Patients should know the symptoms of low blood sugar and how to counteract it. While low risk, extremely low blood sugar levels may occur when taking semaglutide with B12.
Semaglutide is a prescription medication and cannot be bought directly online or over the counter. However, Seattle Plastic Surgery offers totally virtual semaglutide treatment. All appointments—including the consultation and monthly check-ins—can take place over FaceTime or Skype.
Semaglutide comes in two forms: an injection or a pill. Seattle Plastic Surgery offers both at a monthly cost.
