What medical weight loss means
Medical weight loss treats weight as a health condition, not a willpower problem. Your provider looks for causes that make losing weight harder, such as thyroid disease, prediabetes, sleep apnea or medications, sets a realistic target, and builds a plan around food, movement and sleep that fits your life.
When lifestyle changes alone are not enough and you meet the criteria, prescription medicines can help. GLP-1 medicines (semaglutide, sold as Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for weight management) and dual GIP/GLP-1 medicines (tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for weight management) reduce appetite and support meaningful weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. Your provider explains benefits, side effects, cost and coverage before anything is prescribed.
- Medical history, exam and lab work (thyroid, A1C, lipids, liver and kidney function)
- Nutrition and activity plan with realistic targets
- Treatment of conditions that affect weight: prediabetes, thyroid, sleep, medications
- Prescription options, including GLP-1 medicines, when appropriate
What the program includes
Every part is adjusted to you, and the same team follows your progress.
Medical evaluation
History, exam, BMI and waist measurement, and labs to find anything slowing you down.
Lab testing →Realistic targets
A goal of 5 to 10% of body weight over months, which already improves blood pressure, blood sugar and sleep.
Weight loss & prediabetes →Nutrition & activity plan
Practical changes you can keep: protein, fiber, fewer sugary drinks and 150 minutes of movement a week.
Why diet alone can fail →Prescription medicines
GLP-1 and other FDA-approved options when you meet criteria, with monitoring for side effects.
GLP-1 medicines compared →Conditions treated together
Prediabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and sleep problems improve as weight comes down.
Diabetes care →Monthly follow-up
Weight, side effects, labs when needed and dose adjustments, in person or by telehealth.
Telehealth visits →How the program works
Four steps from your first visit to steady progress.
Evaluation
Your history, medicines, previous attempts, exam and labs, plus what you want to achieve.
Your plan
Nutrition, activity and sleep targets, and whether medicine is appropriate for you.
Start and adjust

Follow-up
Monthly check-ins to track weight, labs and side effects, and to keep the plan working.
Lifestyle plan, prescription medicine or a specialist?

What to expect from GLP-1 medicines
GLP-1 medicines work by reducing appetite and slowing how fast the stomach empties, so you feel full sooner and longer. They are injected once a week. Semaglutide is approved for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic) and chronic weight management (Wegovy); tirzepatide is approved for type 2 diabetes (Mounjaro) and chronic weight management (Zepbound). Your provider prescribes the product that matches your diagnosis and coverage.
Common side effects and how we manage them
- Nausea, constipation or diarrhea, most common when a dose increases; starting low and increasing slowly helps
- Reduced appetite, which is the goal, but protein and fluids still matter
- Rare but serious problems such as pancreatitis or gallbladder disease: call right away for severe belly pain
- Not used in pregnancy or with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2
Keeping the weight off
Weight tends to return if medicine is stopped without habits in place. The program is built so the lifestyle plan carries the result: regular meals with protein and fiber, strength training to protect muscle, sleep, and follow-up visits that catch drift early.
Insurance and cost
Coverage for weight loss medicines varies widely by plan, and some plans exclude them. Office visits for weight management are usually covered like other visits. Voss Family Clinic accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ambetter, Medicare and Medicare-Medicaid dual plans. Call (281) 617-8671 and we will help you check your benefits before you start.

Weight loss questions we hear most
Quick answers about our Sugar Land medical weight loss program.
Still have questions?
Our front desk can answer questions about visits and confirm your insurance before you come in.
Call (281) 617-8671Do you prescribe Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound?
When you meet the medical criteria and the medicine is right for you, yes. Ozempic and Mounjaro are approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy and Zepbound are approved for weight management. Your provider prescribes the product that matches your diagnosis and insurance coverage.
Who qualifies for weight loss medicine?
Generally adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, prediabetes or sleep apnea, who have not reached their goal with lifestyle changes. Your provider confirms this at the evaluation.
How much weight will I lose?
Results vary. Lifestyle changes alone commonly produce 5 to 10% loss over months; GLP-1 medicines combined with lifestyle changes produce more on average. The medically important wins, such as better blood pressure and blood sugar, start early.
Does insurance cover the program?
Visits are usually covered like other office visits. Coverage for weight loss medicines varies by plan and some plans exclude them; we help you check before starting.
How often will I be seen?
Monthly at first, in person or by telehealth, to track progress and side effects and to adjust doses.
Is the program safe if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?
Yes, and it often improves both. Your medicines for those conditions are adjusted as your weight and numbers change.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. Voss Family Clinic is accepting new adult patients for primary care. Your first visit can be a walk-in, a scheduled appointment or a sick visit, and the same team continues your care afterward.
Do you offer care in Spanish?
Yes. Dr. Humera Naqvi speaks Spanish, and the appointment, contact, new-patient and insurance pages are available in Spanish. Call the office if you need help in Spanish choosing the right type of visit.
