Throughout your journey, you will have regular follow-up appointments with us to monitor your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and provide ongoing support and guidance. We may also recommend additional interventions, such as nutritional counseling, fitness guidance, or stress management techniques, to support your overall success.
The amount of weight you can expect to lose and the timeline for achieving your goals will depend on various individual factors, such as your starting weight, overall health status, and adherence to the recommended treatment plan.
On average, patients in our medical weight loss program can achieve a 10-20% reduction in their initial body weight within the first 6-12 months of treatment. However, some patients may achieve even more significant results with the help of targeted therapies and consistent effort.

Common side effects across our medical weight loss therapies may include nausea, fatigue, digestive changes, or mild headaches, particularly in the early phases of treatment; most of these improve as your body adjusts and with dose or formulation modifications.
Contact the clinic with persistent or worsening side effects, new symptoms following any medication or protocol change, significant mood changes, or weight-related health concerns that are not improving. Seek urgent care immediately for chest pain, shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, seizures, severe allergic reaction, fainting, or any signs of a serious medical emergency.
The amount of weight you can expect to lose will depend on various factors, including your starting weight, overall health status, and adherence to the recommended treatment plan. On average, patients in our medical weight loss program can achieve a 10-20% reduction in their initial body weight within the first 6-12 months of treatment. However, individual results may vary, and some patients may achieve even more significant weight loss with the help of peptide therapies and other targeted interventions.
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical professional like Dr. Fete, peptide therapies for weight loss are generally safe and well-tolerated. However, as with any medical treatment, there may be potential side effects or risks, such as digestive issues, injection site reactions, or allergic reactions. Dr. Fete will carefully review your medical history and discuss any potential risks or contraindications before recommending a specific peptide therapy.
The duration of your medical weight loss program will depend on your individual goals, progress, and response to treatment. Some patients may achieve their desired results within 6-12 months, while others may benefit from ongoing support and maintenance to sustain their weight loss long-term. Dr. Fete will work with you to determine the optimal duration of your initial treatment plan and assess the need for continued therapy based on your progress and long-term health objectives. Our goal is to help you achieve lasting results and equip you with the tools to maintain optimal health and performance.
Yes, the medical weight loss program at Dr. Fete Prime-X can often be combined with other treatments to enhance overall results and address related health concerns.

She will work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan that supports your overall health and well-being.
Coverage for medical weight loss services varies depending on the specific insurance plan and the treatments involved. While some insurance plans may cover certain aspects of the program, such as medication management or nutritional counseling, others may consider peptide therapies or meal replacement strategies to be elective or experimental and decline coverage. Dr. Fete's team will work with you to determine your insurance coverage and explore financing options to make the program as accessible as possible.
Our medical weight loss program integrates seamlessly with our broader functional medicine offerings, including Functional Medicine, and Hormone Optimization. Addressing weight alongside these interconnected systems often produces the most comprehensive and lasting results.
