Weight Loss FAQ OKC | GLP-1 & Insulin Resistance Questions | Slim Down Solutions

Question 1

What happens at my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit includes a comprehensive health assessment, metabolic evaluation, and a one-on-one consultation with our team. We'll review your health history, discuss your goals, and recommend the program that's right for you. There's no pressure — just honest guidance.

Question 2

Do I need a referral?

Accepted Answer

No referral is needed. You can schedule a free consultation directly through our website or by calling our office.

Question 3

How long does the first appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Plan for about 60–90 minutes for your initial consultation. We want to take the time to truly understand your situation and answer all your questions.

Question 4

What programs do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer GLP-1 medication programs (single-agonist and dual-agonist options), natural medication-free weight loss, and personalized nutrition coaching.

Question 5

How is your program different from a regular diet?

Accepted Answer

We identify and address the root causes of your weight gain — insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, slow metabolism — rather than just telling you to eat less and move more. Every plan is personalized to your unique biology.

Question 6

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Accepted Answer

Results vary by individual and program. Patients on our GLP-1 program typically lose 15–22% of body weight over 6–12 months. Natural weight loss patients average 1–2 pounds per week. We'll set realistic expectations based on your specific situation.

Question 7

What are GLP-1 medications?

Accepted Answer

GLP-1 receptor agonists are FDA-approved medications that mimic a natural gut hormone to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and improve insulin sensitivity. We offer both single-agonist and dual-agonist GLP-1 options depending on your health profile and goals.

Question 8

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider. Our team carefully evaluates each patient's health history and monitors progress throughout treatment. Common side effects like mild nausea are manageable and typically improve over time.

Question 9

Will I gain the weight back when I stop?

Accepted Answer

Weight regain is possible if lifestyle habits aren't maintained. That's why our program includes nutrition coaching and habit-building alongside medication — so you have the tools to maintain your results long-term.

Question 10

How do I get my medication?

Accepted Answer

Once your physician prescribes your medication, you'll receive access to your secure patient portal where you can place your order. Your medication is then shipped directly to your home — no pharmacy trips or in-office pickup required.

Question 11

Where is the medication made?

Accepted Answer

All of our medications are 100% manufactured in the United States. Every active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and finished compound is sourced and produced domestically — we do not use ingredients or medications from overseas suppliers including China, India, or Turkey.

Question 12

What is a 503A compounding pharmacy?

Accepted Answer

A 503A pharmacy is a licensed compounding pharmacy that prepares medications for individual patients based on a physician's prescription. This means your medication is made specifically for you — personalized dosing, not mass-produced. All of our compounding partners are licensed and regulated.

Question 13

How long does delivery take?

Accepted Answer

Most orders are processed and shipped within a few business days of your prescription being placed. Your care team will keep you informed on timing and what to expect.

Question 14

Is my medication safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your medication is compounded by a licensed 503A pharmacy using 100% USA-sourced ingredients, prescribed by a licensed physician, and monitored throughout your program by our care team. Quality and safety are non-negotiable for us.

Question 15

Does insurance cover your programs?

Accepted Answer

Coverage varies widely by plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about coverage for weight management programs and GLP-1 medications. Our team can provide documentation to support your claim.

Question 16

What financing options are available?

Accepted Answer

We accept PatientFi and CareCredit, both of which offer flexible payment plans and promotional financing options. Our team can walk you through the application process during your consultation.
