MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
in Fort Wayne, IN
in Fort Wayne, IN
There’s a difference between trying to lose weight and actually feeling supported in the process. For many adults, especially those navigating hormonal shifts, stress, or metabolic changes, weight gain doesn’t occur due to a lack of discipline. It’s the result of real, biological shifts that deserve real, personalized care.
At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness, our medically-supported weight loss programs offer a clinically guided, deeply human approach to helping your body find its rhythm again. With prescription GLP-1 medications, we help regulate appetite and blood sugar in a way that supports natural weight loss. Every plan is tailored to your personal history and health goals.
Are you ready to reclaim a healthier relationship with your body with a plan that finally feels doable? Our team is here to meet you where you are and walk with you toward lasting change.
Medical weight loss is a physician-directed approach to reducing excess weight that combines prescription weight loss medications, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing lifestyle support. At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness, we specialize in GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies. GLP-1 medications, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, mimic hormones naturally found in the body to support appetite control, blood sugar regulation, and weight loss. Originally developed to treat diabetes, GLP-1 medications have become a key weight loss tool for individuals seeking lasting change with proven, medical support.
Unlike general diet programs, medical weight loss is grounded in evidence-based strategies and designed to treat obesity and its related health conditions, including high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. Our treatment plans are tailored to your overall health. In addition to reducing body weight, professional weight loss treatments can help lower your risk of chronic illness and increase your energy levels in daily life.
At Lilivy, your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we’ll review your medical history, lab results, and any current medications. If you're a suitable candidate for prescription GLP-1 receptor agonists, we’ll discuss your options, dosing, and potential side effects.
The GLP-1 medication is administered in weekly injections to support appetite regulation and blood sugar balance. Prescription medications are most effective when combined with meaningful lifestyle changes that help you sustain your results over time. We’ll help you create a wellness plan tailored to your individual health needs and preferences. Whether you're seeking a healthier relationship with food or finding ways to incorporate regular exercise into your routine, our approach is flexible, compassionate, and realistic.
Routine follow-ups with your provider help us monitor your progress, manage any side effects such as nausea or constipation, and adjust your plan as needed. Your weight loss journey is guided every step of the way by a medical team that listens and cares for you.
Medical weight loss can be a powerful option for patients dealing with obesity, metabolic dysfunction, or hormone-related weight gain. We often work with patients struggling with insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or perimenopausal weight gain. These conditions may make it harder to lose weight through conventional approaches alone.
Our program also supports individuals with health concerns, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. By reducing their body weight in a medically supervised manner, patients often see improved cardiovascular markers and a reduced risk of developing chronic disease. For those who have tried multiple medications or lifestyle changes with limited results, medical weight loss may be the missing link that helps things finally click.
GLP-1 prescription medications work by helping patients feel fuller faster, reducing cravings, and improving insulin sensitivity to support weight loss without relying on extreme restrictions. However, the benefits extend beyond weight loss. Patients often notice improved energy, fewer blood sugar crashes, reduced inflammation, and enhanced digestion.
With the right combination of medication and lifestyle changes, you may find you experience more consistent sleep, a better mood, and improved hormone balance. Many of our patients regain trust in their body’s ability to maintain a healthy weight, even after years of frustration. And because our programs are individualized, we help you maintain your results through sustainable habits, rather than relying solely on medication.
If you’ve struggled to lose weight despite consistent effort or if hormone changes, stress, or medications have caused unexpected weight gain, you may be a strong candidate for medical weight loss. Typical candidates have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or above with a weight-related condition, or a BMI of 30 or higher.
GLP-1 medications may not be suitable for everyone, particularly patients with a history of certain thyroid conditions or gastrointestinal issues. That’s why we always conduct a thorough health review before initiating any obesity treatment. Your medical history, current medications, and overall health are all considered in this assessment.
While individual timelines vary, many patients begin to lose weight within the first 1–3 months and continue to see improvement with consistent use. On average, GLP-1 users may lose 10–15% of their body weight over the course of a year. More importantly, they report a return to feeling strong, grounded, and in control.
If weight regain is a concern, we work with you on long-term strategies—including continued lifestyle coaching and a tapered plan for medication. We also monitor for muscle mass preservation, nutritional adequacy, and stress resilience, because lasting results depend on much more than a smaller waistline.
Our approach to weight management is deeply personalized. Your wellness journey is guided by Stephanie Sublett, MD, and her experienced team. Dr. Sublett is a board-certified OB/GYN with expertise in metabolic function, hormones, and women’s health. We offer Fort Wayne’s most compassionate, medically grounded weight loss care, designed for those who are ready to stop dieting and start healing. Here, you’ll be guided, respected, and listened to through every step. We’re honored to walk with you on this journey.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a newer class of weight loss medications that work differently than drugs like phentermine. They mimic natural hormones to help reduce appetite and regulate blood sugar.
Common side effects include mild nausea, constipation, or changes in appetite during the first few weeks. Side effects are typically temporary and improve with dosing adjustments and ongoing medication use.
GLP-1 medications are typically taken for a minimum of 6-12 months. Some patients continue treatment for a longer period, while others taper off after achieving their weight loss goals. Making thoughtful lifestyle changes will help you maintain a healthy weight after discontinuing medication. Our team will guide you toward a plan that prioritizes safety and sustainability.
Yes, GLP-1 medications can help reduce food preoccupation and regulate your body's hunger signals. We also offer guidance on emotional wellness and provide recommendations or referrals for managing stress and depression as needed.
We pair prescription support with ongoing monitoring, motivation, and coaching to facilitate lifestyle changes. Our approach is designed to create a sustainable treatment plan, rather than just a temporary fix.
