At Slim Surgical, we understand that weight loss is not one-size-fits-all. Our medical weight loss program offers a personalized, comprehensive approach to help you achieve a healthier weight and improve your overall well-being.
GLP-1 receptor agonists offer a modern approach to weight management. Initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these medications mimic the glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. By supporting insulin secretion, reducing glucagon release, and slowing digestion, GLP-1 medications help manage blood glucose, decrease hunger, and increase satiety thereby promoting steady and sustainable weight loss.
At Slim Surgical, we provide safe and effective GLP-1 treatments to align with individual health goals. Our focus on this advanced therapy ensures patients receive exceptional care, combining medical expertise with personalized support for lasting results in weight management.
Our program utilizes a variety of FDA-approved medications—including GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide—to support weight loss. These medications work by regulating appetite, enhancing satiety, and improving insulin sensitivity. Dr. Angela Kaza is double-board certified in both general/bariatric surgery as well as in obesity medicine. She utilizes her expertise to carefully select medications based on your individual medical history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. Each treatment plan is designed to optimize safety, effectiveness, and long-term success.

GLP-1 plays a pivotal role in obesity management by promoting weight loss through appetite suppression, slowed gastric emptying, and improved metabolic control. As a result, GLP-1 receptor agonists are increasingly recognized as effective treatments for individuals struggling with their weight, offering a multifaceted approach to tackling this chronic condition.
GLP-1 receptor agonists can serve as an effective adjunct therapy for individuals with diabetes, particularly those who are overweight or unable to achieve glycemic targets with insulin alone. However, careful monitoring and management of insulin doses are crucial to minimize risks associated with hypoglycemia and DKA. Further research is needed to fully understand the long-term implications and safety profiles of GLP-1 RAs in DM management.
GLP-1's multifaceted actions—from appetite suppression and delayed gastric emptying to enhanced insulin secretion—make it a powerful tool for managing obesity. The use of GLP-1 receptor agonists not only aids in weight loss but also improves glycemic control, making them beneficial for individuals struggling with obesity and related metabolic disorders.
GLP-1 agonists effectively reduce food intake by acting on both central nervous system pathways and peripheral gastrointestinal mechanisms. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in managing appetite and supporting weight loss efforts by enhancing satiety, slowing gastric emptying, and potentially altering food preferences. The combination of these actions makes GLP-1 agonists a valuable therapeutic option for obesity management.
