How much weight can I expect to lose with oral GLP-1 weight loss medications?

On average, patients can expect to lose 15-20% of their body weight when using oral GLP-1 weight loss medications.

How long will I need to take oral GLP-1 weight loss medications and will I regain the weight if I stop?

Similarly to GLP-1 injections, many patients will choose to continue treatment long-term for the best results. It is possible to regain weight after stopping any weight loss medication. At New Jersey Bariatric Center®, we offer a comprehensive approach that pairs weight loss medications with exercise and nutrition support to help you build sustainable habits that help to minimize re-gain.

Are oral GLP-1 weight loss pills going to be more affordable than GLP-1 injections?

Pricing information for oral GLP-1 weight loss medications has yet to be determined. This information will become available once the medication reaches FDA-approval and insurance companies offer coverage.
