At Dr. Amy Tomlinson's clinic, we understand that achieving and maintaining your ideal weight is a long-term commitment. For most people, semaglutide can be an essential tool in helping you reach your "happy weight" and sustain it over time. Here's what you can expect when planning for the long term:

Consistent Semaglutide Use
Since semaglutide primarily works by reducing appetite and slowing stomach emptying, stopping the medication may cause hunger levels to return to baseline, making weight management more challenging. Thus, many individuals find that continuing semaglutide treatment for years or even decades is necessary to maintain their desired weight.

During your weight management journey, you'll likely develop new skills and habits related to nutrition, stress management, and overall well-being. These positive changes can contribute to long-term success, and if you find that you can maintain your weight without semaglutide, that's fantastic! However, it's important to recognize that the majority of people will still need to continue their semaglutide treatment to keep their hunger levels in check.
