GLP-1 follow-up and weight management may be appropriate for many adults in California. Decisions depend on medical history, current medications, and clinical judgment.

Seek urgent or emergency care right away if you have:
- Severe abdominal pain (especially upper abdomen)
- Persistent vomiting
- Signs of pancreatitis or gallbladder issues
- Severe allergic reactions
- Symptoms of dehydration
Telehealth is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or for mental health crises call or text 988.
What treatment may include
Care may include lifestyle and nutrition guidance, follow-up visits, and prescription of GLP-1 medication when clinically appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
Will my insurance cover GLP-1 medication?
Coverage varies and is often denied for weight loss without other conditions. We will discuss expected out-of-pocket cost during your visit.
How fast will I lose weight?
Response varies. Many patients see gradual changes over months. Sustainable results are the goal, not rapid loss.
Are there side effects?
Yes. Common side effects include nausea, constipation, and reduced appetite. Serious side effects are less common but possible.
Do I need to be a certain weight?
Eligibility depends on BMI and other clinical factors. Your clinician will discuss this with you.
Is this just for weight loss or also for diabetes?
GLP-1 medications are approved for several uses including type 2 diabetes management. Treatment plan is individualized.
