Semaglutideis perhaps the biggest innovation in weight loss medications that helps thousands of people lose weight and manage chronic weight problems. The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery invites patients to learn more about semaglutide and other weight loss options with a medical weight loss specialist. The providers at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery provide the highest quality semaglutide with B12 weight loss program in Bellevue and Kirkland.
Compounded semaglutide with B12 refers to when a medication is customized to fit a patient’s needs. This could mean that a compounding pharmacy creates a specific dosage that the manufacturer does not offer, or they take out or add ingredients as necessary. With semaglutide, it is common to add B12 because it can help enhance results and reduce the side effects of semaglutide.
Patients using a compounded semaglutide and B12 mixture receive the same medication but with an added B12 that reduces negative side effects.
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone is created in the intestine whenever we eat, which helps the body to digest and metabolize the food. In response, the body releases insulin. Semaglutide helps slow the process of gastric emptying which allows patients to feel fuller longer and reduce appetite.
As a weight loss medication, semaglutide also may feature benefits such as:
Vitamin B12 is a necessary vitamin that helps support red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. However, it also offers several other health benefits to the body, especially in combination with semaglutide injections. Some of the possible benefits of B12 include:
The first step in your weight loss journey with semaglutide and B12 starts with a consultation with a weight loss specialist at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery. You can choose either an in-person consultation or a virtual consultation. Regardless of choice, the consultation will proceed similarly.
First, the provider will ask you about your medical history, including your history of obesity or weight problems. They will also need to know of other medications you take and other health conditions. If the provider believes you are a good candidate, they will provide the medication, which will be sent to the patient directly. If it is an in-person consultation, the provider can administer the first dose at the consultation appointment.
The most common way that patients take semaglutide is through injections. Performed by the patient at home (unless local and willing to come in weekly), semaglutide with B12 injections is injected into the upper arm, stomach, or thigh. Patients should rotate through these areas weekly. Your provider will demonstrate how to give you the semaglutide injections during your consultation.
Patients should aim to administer the injections on the same day every week and at roughly the same time of day. However, if a missed dose occurs and patients are within one day or so of the missed dose, it is usually okay to administer it. Your provider will address this during your consultation.
Diet changes—while not strictly required—are highly recommended to help patients see the best possible results from their semaglutide with B12 injections. The exact diet recommendations may differ slightly between patients. However, the Mediterranean diet is frequently recommended. Overall, patients can expect to make diet changes like:
Like with the diet plan, following an exercise regimen is not required, but highly encouraged. Exercise is a natural way to increase the metabolism and it supports a healthier lifestyle. In general, whatever exercise you are capable of doing is a great way to start. Even if this means only short walks or swapping out the elevator for the stairs.
Ideally, patients will add some sort of strength training to their routine. Adding muscle mass to the body naturally requires that people use up more calories per day. This can lead to quicker and more sustained weight loss over time. Examples of strength training exercises could include lifting weights, push-ups, certain forms of yoga, squats, and deadlifts.
Yes, when using semaglutide and B12, they will come as one weekly injectable. There are no separate injections. This makes it easier for patients to receive the full effects and stick to their weekly injection schedule.
Yes, semaglutide is available in pill form. When compounded, it is possible to get semaglutide and B12 as a pill. Choosing the pill form does come with additional costs, but so far, studies show comparable efficacy between the injectable form of semaglutide and the pill version. You can discuss which may be best for you during your consultation appointment.
Beyond the basic health benefits of Vitamin B12, it can also help patients tolerate the medication better by reducing uncomfortable side effects. Some of the side effects that B12 may help reduce include fatigue, constipation, nausea, and general stomach upset. B12 also helps support the metabolism and break down of fat in the body.
B12 is not necessary to see weight loss with semaglutide. However, at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, we value patient comfort and usually prescribe semaglutide with B12 to provide a more tolerable experience.
