Affordable medical weight loss
Posted by ImaginaryAffect3021@reddit | plano | View on Reddit | 23 comments
I realize everyone is doing the newest and greatest Glp, semaglutide trend, but I’m seeking an old fashioned clinic that does medical appetite suppressants. I had great success in with simple medication decades ago, and would like to try restarting meds as menopause has not been kind. Thanks!

Hello everyone! My name is Shianne 💙
I’m a nurse practitioner and the owner of Saving Grace Behavioral Health. I work closely with individuals navigating mental health challenges and addiction, and I’m deeply passionate about helping people heal, grow, and feel their best. I service patients in Florida and Massachusetts
I also run a weight management program, which is something very personal to me. I started my own GLP-1 journey when my son was 6 months old and I was struggling to lose baby weight. Shortly after, I incorporated Pilates—and that combination truly changed my life.
Feel free to email me at info@savinggracebehavioral.com or book consultation at https://intakeq.com/booking/hj10qd?serviceId=e94e8b7f-7954-40c3-bd49-00ce96f54c4c
Now, I’m here to support, encourage, and walk alongside others who are on their own journey to becoming their best selves. You’re not alone in this 🤍

You’re not alone, a lot of people are looking for more traditional options again.
There’s a medical clinic opening in Frisco next month that still offers provider-guided appetite suppressants (not just GLP-1s), with in-person visits and medical evaluation.
From what I’ve heard, the first visit is around $175, and monthly medication follow-ups are about $125, depending on what you qualify for.
Might be worth checking out if you’re looking for something more old-school and supervised.

Do you know the name?

Frisco Immigration & Weight Loss Clinic. I believe they’re opening the first week of March. I’ve been to their Keller location before and they were pretty thorough at the initial visit with an EKG, thyroid labs, and a full medical history review before discussing medication options like phentermine or Topamax if appropriate.

yeah affordable medical weight loss is weirdly hard to find. some folks just skip local clinics and use telehealth instead trimi gets mentioned since it's fully online and the price doesn't change as your dose goes up. nice option if you're mostly trying to keep costs predictable.

I’ve tried Absolutely Thin about 5 years ago for my phentermine/fluoxetine meds. I believe the price for the zoom consult was $99, and then of course whatever $ you pay once the scrip comes in. It wasn’t expensive.

The “simple medication” from “decades ago” don’t work well and wreak more havoc on your body than a GLP. Seems silly to not just do the GLP.

Ah yes the marvelous fen phen. 😂
CurrentFinger734@reddit
honestly,I would also go for GLP1'S
LDJ9@reddit
There are oral GLPs out there now

Rybelsus is the only one I've seen. Just as expensive as the injectables, though.

Ask your PCP about Contrave.

Not everyone is doing supplements or GLP-1s. I'm in my 70s and gave up processed foods 95% of the time and cut portions. Lost 40 pounds and keeping it off.
Is my way for everyone? No. Could I have received a GLP? yes, and it was affordable. But it just wasn't for me.
It's a hard road! I hope you get what you need

I treat my perimenopause symptoms with FDA approved medications. They have changed my life for the better. We were misinformed twenty years ago with a bad study - so unless you’ve done your research, you might be under the impression that those drugs cause cancer (they don’t).
You can find a physician that treats perimenopause and menopause by searching for that on Google. We don’t have to suffer!

Try lone star medical associates. My doctor is pushing weight loss stuff at me all the time. Not sure what it is, but you can find out

So you want to take an inferior medication with more long term concerns that you’re supposed to only be on for 3 months at a time and then come off for at least three months. Then when you resume it the medication is never as effective… but then call GLP-1s with significant evidence for long term improvement in heart, kidney, and (now they’re finding out) brain function (reduction in vascular and Alzheimer’s dementia) a fad?
GLP-1s aren’t for everyone, but they’re a hell of a lot more effective and better for your body than phentermine.
The worst side-effects are tyoically die to prescribers not understanding the need for slow titration or have only been seen in rats (or have essentially been debunked like NAION).
We have gotten to a point where the American board of obesity medicine is recommending GLP-1s as first line along with diet and exercise aside from diet an exercise alone due to obesity being such an epidemic in our society while also being significantly better treated and with positive effects maintained with GLP-1s added to diet and exercise.
Calling GLP-1s a fad is just ignorant and dishonest.

Ask pcp for topiramate/phentermine. Look it up beforehand see if it fits your needs. Look at both drugs separately and together (topamax, lomaira, qsymia). Checj out effexor.

Which specific med are you looking for?
ImaginaryAffect3021@reddit (OP)
Only thing I’m specically looking for is tried and true oral meds, no injuctions or needles. And not too pricy. I used to take various forms of phentermine without side effects, sp maybe something similar would still work.

Here's a medical weight loss clinic with an office in Plano (medical = meds, not surgical weight loss).
Looks like they prescribe pretty much all the FDA approved weight loss meds, including phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia).

Just go for the GLP1s.
