Frequently Asked Questions

Your Journey to Wellness Starts Here

Entering the world of weight management can bring up many questions and concerns. At KC Trim Clinic, we’ve compiled this FAQ section to provide clear, friendly answers to help you on your transformative journey.

You might start noticing changes as soon as the day after your first dose! Initially, you’ll begin with a quarter dose, then gradually move up to a full dose as you tolerate it. While the early effects might be subtle, many patients feel a reduction in appetite and satiety almost immediately. This early change often leads to quick and motivating results. Most patients get their first dose during the initial visit and experience the benefits right away. We’re here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you achieve your weight loss goals with confidence and ease!

Semaglutide is a medication that helps reduce your appetite, making you feel fuller for longer. It’s a powerful ally in your fight against excess weight, helping you enjoy satisfying meals without overeating.

Sublingual tabs provide results equal to or greater than injectable treatments, with the added benefit of being needle-free. Sublingual tabs are absorbed more efficiently (30-40% absorption) compared to semaglutide pills taken orally, which have about 1% absorption in the stomach.

Tirzepatide is a new approach to weight management. Originally used for diabetes, it has shown promise in helping with weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. It works differently from traditional methods, offering a new tool in your weight loss journey.

Never throw the pen away in your household trash. Use an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container or a sturdy household container with a tight-fitting lid, like a heavy-duty plastic container.

If your next scheduled dose is more than 48 hours away, take the missed dose as soon as possible.
If your next scheduled dose is less than 48 hours away, skip the missed dose and wait until your next scheduled dose.
If you miss doses for more than 2 weeks, contact our clinicians to discuss how to restart your treatment.

Less than 5% of patients find these side effects bothersome enough to stop treatment. You might experience mild gastrointestinal issues like loose stool or nausea in the first two weeks and these are entirely manageable. By starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it, we help minimize any discomfort. After four to five months, some patients might experience occasional constipation, but adjusting the dosage can effectively manage any side effects. We’re dedicated to ensuring you feel comfortable and supported throughout your treatment, making your journey as smooth and positive as possible!

Yes! When flying, carry your pen in your carry-on bag to prevent it from freezing in the baggage compartment. Check with your airline for any specific rules.

We do not bill insurance companies directly as most insurance companies cover Semaglutide and/or Terzepatide when it’s prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes, however not for weight-loss.. Semaglutide use for weight loss is considered “off-label” and is not approved by the FDA. Insurance companies may not pay for “off-label” or unapproved uses of drugs.

We are approved to accept HSA cards as payment.

You can take your medication with or without food, whichever you prefer.

Yes, just take it on the same day each week at a time that is convenient for you.

To qualify for our treatment, you must not have ever had thyroid cancer or a rare type of abdominal cancer called multiple endocrine neoplasia. Additionally, if you have had frequent pancreatitis, you would be disqualified from using this medication. These disqualifications are very rare, making most people eligible for our program. We’re here to help you determine if this treatment is right for you and support you every step of the way!

Monitoring your weight loss progress is crucial for several reasons. It helps you stay motivated by visualizing your achievements and tracking changes in your body shape, measurements, and weight. Tracking your progress allows us to adjust your treatment plan as needed, ensuring you continue to achieve your goals effectively. To follow and support the advancements you make on your successful weight loss journey we have methods to monitor your progress.

We offer the traditional method of weighing yourself on a scale, but for a more detailed and personalized view of your progress, we have the Styku 3D Body Scan. The Styku device is an advanced tool designed to help you reach your weight loss goals more effectively. It creates a comprehensive 3D body model in less than a minute, allowing you to track changes in your body shape, measurements, and composition over time. This detailed data helps us tailor your treatment plan to ensure you see the best results possible.

The long-term health benefits of weight loss medications include a reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved longevity, better physical function, and enhanced quality of life. By maintaining a healthy weight, patients can enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle with fewer health complications.
