Health Insights

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GLP-1 therapy for weight loss?
GLP-1 medications, originally developed for diabetes, can support weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing stomach emptying. These prescription medications are used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes dietary changes and increased physical activity under medical supervision.
How do I know if I qualify for medical weight loss treatment?
Qualification typically depends on your Body Mass Index (BMI) and any weight-related health conditions. Dr. Erdem evaluates each patient individually during a consultation at Kelsey-Seybold Sugar Land to determine if medical weight loss options, including GLP-1 therapy, are appropriate for their specific situation.
Can I get weight loss medication prescribed online?
While initial evaluations for weight loss medications require a comprehensive medical assessment, follow-up care may include telehealth options. You can schedule an in-person consultation with Dr. Erdem at (713) 442-9100 to discuss all available treatment approaches, including medication management.
What are the side effects of weight loss medications like GLP-1 agonists?
Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, or constipation, which often diminish over time. More serious but rare side effects can occur. Dr. Erdem carefully monitors patients on these medications and adjusts treatment as needed to maximize benefits while minimizing discomfort.
How much weight can I expect to lose with medical weight loss programs?
Weight loss results vary significantly based on individual factors including starting weight, adherence to the program, and metabolic factors. Medical weight loss focuses on sustainable, healthy weight reduction rather than rapid loss, with Dr. Erdem helping set realistic, achievable goals.
Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan and medical necessity. Some weight loss medications and consultations may be covered if you have specific weight-related health conditions. The clinic staff can help verify your benefits when you schedule an appointment at (713) 442-9100.
