Medical Weight Loss That Lasts

Clinically proven weight loss treatments including GLP-1 therapy in El Paso.

If you have tried multiple diets, cut calories, and increased exercise but still struggle to lose weight or keep it off, medical weight loss treatments can help you achieve consistent, sustainable results. Family Medical & Psychiatric Wellness Center offers GLP-1 therapy and other clinically proven options for patients in El Paso who want to lose weight safely and effectively. These medications work by controlling hunger, reducing portion sizes, and improving metabolic health so you lose weight without constant cravings or energy crashes.

Available treatments include semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, and phentermine. Each option works differently, and your provider selects the best fit based on your health history, weight loss goals, and lifestyle. GLP-1 therapy patients often experience consistent weight loss, better control of hunger, improved energy levels, enhanced metabolic health, and greater confidence. Your first visit includes a review of your weight history, current health conditions, and medications, followed by a personalized treatment plan.

What Changes After You Start Treatment

Your treatment begins with a consultation and physical exam to determine which medication fits your needs. If you qualify, your provider prescribes a weight loss medication and explains how to take it, what side effects to watch for, and when to schedule follow-up visits. Most patients in El Paso receive their medication as a weekly injection or daily pill, depending on the treatment selected.

Within the first few weeks, you typically notice reduced hunger, smaller portion sizes at meals, and steady weight loss without extreme calorie restriction. Energy levels improve, and cravings decrease. Over time, your body adjusts to the medication, and you continue losing weight at a healthy, sustainable pace. Follow-up visits allow your provider to monitor progress, adjust dosages, and address any side effects.

This practice offers medications including semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, and phentermine, each with different mechanisms and benefits. Your provider explains how each works and helps you understand what to expect. Weight loss treatments are designed for adults who have not achieved their goals through diet and exercise alone and who are committed to long-term lifestyle changes alongside medication.

These answers cover how medical weight loss works, what results to expect, and how treatment is managed over time.

What people usually want to know first

What is GLP-1 therapy and how does it work?
GLP-1 medications mimic a hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel full sooner, reduce cravings, and support steady weight loss by improving metabolic function.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary, but most patients lose a consistent amount each month when following the treatment plan and making lifestyle adjustments. Your provider tracks progress and adjusts treatment as needed.
What are the side effects of weight loss medications?
Common side effects include nausea, upset stomach, and reduced appetite, especially in the first few weeks. Most side effects decrease over time, and your provider can adjust dosages to minimize discomfort.
How long will I need to take the medication?
Treatment length depends on your weight loss goals and how your body responds. Some patients continue for several months, while others taper off once they reach their target weight and establish new habits.
What happens if I stop taking the medication?
Weight maintenance depends on lifestyle habits after you stop treatment. Your provider helps you build a plan that includes nutrition, exercise, and follow-up visits to support long-term success.
