How long do I need to stay on semaglutide for weight loss?

Semaglutide is typically used as a long‑term treatment. Studies show that stopping the medication abruptly can lead to regaining some or all of the lost weight, especially if lifestyle changes are not firmly in place. Many programs in Metro Atlanta focus on gradually building sustainable habits while you are on the medication, then revisiting your plan with your provider if you decide to taper or stop. This is something to discuss with your semaglutide weight loss doctor during follow‑ups.
