At Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery, we believe that real beauty begins with feeling confident—not just in how you look, but in how you feel every day. That’s why our Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss program exists: to help you build a healthier, more vibrant life, from the inside out. If you've been trying to lose weight and haven’t found the lasting support you need, this could be the transformation you’ve been waiting for.
A Gentle, Guided Journey
Every weight loss journey is different, but we see common truths: it can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and lonely. What sets Semaglutide apart—and what sets us apart—is that it’s not a quick fix or a fad. It’s a clinically‑proven medication combined with personalized care, lifestyle guidance, and emotional support.
Step 1: Beginning with Understanding
Your journey begins with a private, one-on-one consultation. Dr. Lombardo spends time getting to know you—your history, your goals, even your relationship with food. We review your BMI, health concerns, and what has or hasn’t worked for you before. Most importantly, we listen, so we can design a program that fits your life—not the other way around.
Step 2: Introducing Semaglutide
Semaglutide started as treatment for type 2 diabetes, but weight loss researchers soon found it was effective—very effective. This once-weekly injectable medication works by helping you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer. The result? You eat less without feeling deprived.
Step 3: A Personalized Plan
This is NOT a one-size-fits-all program. We start with a low dose and gradually increase it, ensuring your body adapts comfortably. At the same time, nutrition coaching helps you make smart choices, not strict rules. We help you understand portion control, mindful eating, and how to create satisfying meals that energize you.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
We check in regularly to track your progress—on the scale, in your habits, and in how you feel. If you hit a plateau, feel discouraged, or just want to celebrate a win, we’re right beside you. We adjust your plan as needed, from fine‑tuning your meal ideas to adding helpful lifestyle tips.
Step 5: Maintaining Your Success
Losing weight is important. Keeping it off is equally important. When you reach your goals, we'll talk about maintenance strategies like adjusting the dose, transitioning off medication, and building a routine that suits your long‑term needs. Think of it as the next chapter—one where you keep writing your own story.
How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide is part of a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. Instead of simply cutting calories or speeding up your metabolism, it acts on the brain’s hunger centers. You’ll likely notice:
- Fewer intense cravings, especially between meals
- Less hunger, making portion control easier
- Fewer “emotional” or comfort food urges, especially after you adjust to the medication
Clinical studies show people can lose 5–10% of their body weight in a few months—in some cases, even more, when combined with lifestyle changes. And beyond the scale, many people report better energy, clearer thinking, improved mood, and better control of blood sugar and blood pressure.
What Your Journey Might Look Like
Here’s a narrative version of what a typical 26-week (around six months) journey can look like:
- Weeks 1–4: Introduction & Adaptation
- Low dose, gentle diet tweaks, and daily check-ins
- You notice you're less hungry between meals
- Low dose, gentle diet tweaks, and daily check-ins
- Weeks 5–12: Finding Your Rhythm
- Medication dose increases gradually
- Portion control habits settle in, and small clothing size changes may start
- Medication dose increases gradually
- Weeks 13–20: Consistency & Progress
- Steady weight loss; more energy to move and feel good
- Coaching focuses on balancing food satisfaction and mindful eating
- Steady weight loss; more energy to move and feel good
- Weeks 21–26: Celebration & Maintenance Planning
- You reach your target—or come very close
- We begin creating a maintenance plan with or without tapered medication
- You reach your target—or come very close
Of course, your timeline may vary—and that’s okay. Our promise is that we walk with you, day by day, decision by decision.
Is Semaglutide Right for You?
While Semaglutide can help many people, it’s important we make sure it’s right for you. Ideal candidates:
- Are over 18 with a BMI of 27 or higher
- Want help managing hunger and inspiring lasting habits
- Are ready to commit to weekly injections, food tracking, and support calls
- Don't have contraindications (like certain pancreatitis, thyroid tumors, or kidney issues)
During your consultation, we'll review your health history, medications, and allergies. If we determine Semaglutide is an option, we’ll walk you through risks, benefits, side effects, and alternatives. We do this because safety and personalization matter more than anything.
What Side Effects Should You Expect?
Most people tolerate Semaglutide well—but as with any medication, side effects can occur. These are usually mild and temporary:
- Nausea, often mild and usually subsides after a few weeks
- Diarrhea or constipation, which can be lessened with small dietary changes
- Low appetite, which is usually the intended effect
These side effects tend to diminish as your dose builds and your body grows accustomed to it. We don’t just hand you the prescription and say goodbye—we support you through it so it never becomes overwhelming.
