You’ll also receive personalized guidance from our experienced providers to help you achieve safe, sustainable results. With monthly evaluations and vital checks, we ensure steady progress and support every step of the way.

How It Works
initial CONSULTATION & INJECTION(s)
Your initial consultation will consist of an evaluation, taking vitals, lab testing*, diet and exercise routine review, and establishing weight loss goals. Additionally your provider will discuss the best medication (semaglutide or tirzepatide) for your needs.
We offer at-home injections only. This means four pre-filled, frozen injections will be called into the Pharmacy located in Baton Rouge for either pick-up or shipping. You’ll then only need to visit once a month.
Appointments by phone are required at this time. Lab work may be completed at the clinic or a nearby lab center prior to your consultation, depending on the location.
Lab Results
Once lab results are received, we’ll call you to review. Results may take a few days.
WEEKLY INJECTIONS
Injections will need to be administered weekly on the same day. (see video for instructions)
CONSISTENT Evaluations
Each visit, you will be weighed in and evaluated. If you are continuing to lose weight, the clinician will determine if it is time to go up on your dose.
MEASURE SUCCESS INSIDE & OUT
Your labs may be repeated at 3 months if determined necessary by the clinician.
ACCOUNTABILITY
During your in-clinic check-ins we’ll discuss diet, exercise and nutrition tips.

Medical Weight Loss Program FAQs
-
What’s the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Semaglutide (Ozempic) helps regulate appetite by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which plays a key role in insulin regulation and hunger control. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) offers dual action by mimicking both GLP-1 and GIP, another hormone involved in metabolism. Rest assured, our providers will work closely with you to determine which
medication is the best fit for your body and overall weight loss journey. -
Are weight loss injections safe?
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are safe and well-researched substances. They’ve already improved the lives of many chronically overweight patients by assisting in consistent and sustainable weight loss.
-
How fast do the injections work?
It typically takes about two weeks for the weight loss injections to start working in the body. Some people begin to see results within the first eight weeks, but most begin to see results within 4-12 weeks. Lifestyle changes can impact this timeframe.
-
Do the weight loss injections have any side effects?
Side effects of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are common, particularly at higher doses, and may include nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea. Gastrointestinal side effects usually improve with time. Your health care provider will work with you on the appropriate dose for your health and body needs. We’re open 7 days a week, so do not ever hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns! However, we recommend that all patients having a possible life-threatening emergency call 911.
-
How do I schedule a weight loss appointment?
Appointments by phone are required at this time to best serve our patients, no online booking. Please call your nearby weight loss program clinic to get started!

-
How often will I need to visit Lake Urgent Care in-person?
After your initial consultation — which includes an evaluation, vitals, lab testing, a review of your diet and exercise routine, and goal setting — you’ll return once a month for follow-up evaluations. These monthly visits allow us to monitor your progress, check your vitals, ensure you’re staying healthy, and provide your next prescription.

Do you take insurance?
Lake Urgent Care does not currently accept insurance for weight loss injections.
-
Are there any requirements for the Weight Loss Program?
