FAQ
At Rivas Medical Weight Loss, we focus on delivering realistic outcomes through personalized care. Results with semaglutide vary based on individual factors, with adjustments to dosing every four weeks to suit your progress. Once you reach the full dose around week 17, many clients experience consistent weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week. Rather than offering empty promises, we prioritize meaningful progress. Let us help you explore what’s possible on your weight loss journey with our telehealth program.
Everyone’s weight loss timeline is unique. Some individuals may notice a 5-pound reduction after their first injection, while others experience noticeable changes after 6 to 8 weeks of treatment. We begin with low doses and gradually increase them to reduce the risk of side effects, taking about 17 weeks to reach the full 2.4 mg dose. This steady approach ensures safe and effective results tailored to your body’s needs.
This treatment may be ideal if you’re seeking long-term weight loss, have used phentermine or stimulant medications before, or aim to lose more than 10-15 pounds. However, some conditions may limit eligibility, including:
- Medullary thyroid cancer
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia
- Type 1 diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes currently managed with a GLP-1 medication
- History of pancreatitis
- Chronic kidney disease (without clearance from a nephrologist)
- Pregnancy, nursing, or trying to conceive
If semaglutide isn’t suitable for you, phentermine may still be an option, provided no conflicting medical conditions exist.
Some common side effects reported by clients include:
- Brief moments of nausea
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Fatigue
- A reduced desire for alcohol
Our team works with you to manage these symptoms and provide a positive experience throughout your treatment.
Yes! Unlike vaccines, these injections use a tiny needle that only reaches the skin’s surface, avoiding muscle tissue. Most clients are surprised to find the injection is so quick and gentle that they barely notice it has already been administered.
We currently do not process insurance. While most insurance companies don’t cover medical weight loss treatments, we are happy to provide detailed invoices for you to submit for reimbursement. Some clients have been able to receive partial reimbursement for their telehealth visits through their insurance providers.
We offer telehealth services for patients residing in Maryland or Virginia who are interested in treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Here’s how it works:
