Lina M. Vargas Abello, MD

Whether you choose our team or another provider to guide you along your weight loss journey, we are happy to help wherever we can.

Here, we’ll explain what you should look for in a weight loss clinic near Orlando, and how to find the right provider for you.

1 | Ask where they source their medications

One of the most important questions you should be asking your provider is where they source their medications, and whether they use compounded semaglutide. Compounded semaglutide is a cheaper alternative, but the pharmacies that make it may not be using an FDA-approved formula for the medication, so they cannot guarantee that this semaglutide is 100% safe and effective for use. You should only be receiving care from providers who use FDA-approved, branded formulas of semaglutide.

2 | See how they help with side effects

Semaglutide can cause different side effects—from nausea to stomach pain. Ask how they address these and other side effects, and how often they plan on checking in with you to stay up to date on your progress.

3 | Learn how they personalize your plan

Every person is different, so it would make sense that their weight loss plan would be, too. How much weight you want to lose, how much weight you are starting with, your medical history, and your previous attempts at weight loss are just some of the factors that play a role in creating your weight loss plan. Your provider should be asking questions about all these to ensure you are getting the care you need.
