Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss in NYC & Long Island

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication originally developed to help people manage type 2 diabetes. Today, it’s widely used for medical weight loss because it mimics a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. In simple terms, it helps you feel full sooner, reduces cravings, and supports sustainable weight loss.

Semaglutide slows digestion and balances blood sugar, so your body feels satisfied with less food. This leads to consistent, gradual weight loss without the crash diets or constant hunger. Combined with lifestyle changes, many patients report steady progress each week.

In large clinical studies, patients taking Semaglutide lost up to 15% of their body weight over 12–16 months. At DripGym, most clients begin noticing changes in the first 4–6 weeks—often starting with reduced snacking and better control around meals. Everyone’s journey is unique, and our providers monitor you closely to make sure your plan is safe and effective.

Most patients continue for 6–12 months, depending on their goals. Some taper off once they’ve built new healthy habits, while others continue longer with medical supervision. Our team reviews your progress regularly and adjusts your plan as needed.

Yes—Semaglutide requires a doctor’s approval. With DripGym, the process is fast and simple: you’ll meet with one of our licensed providers (in-person or via telehealth), and if you’re eligible, you can get approved and receive medication the same day.

Like any medication, Semaglutide can have side effects. The most common are mild nausea, digestive changes, or constipation, especially in the first few weeks. These usually improve as your body adjusts. Our providers are here to guide you through the process, adjust your dosage if needed, and make sure you’re comfortable and supported.
