Schedule A Consultation

What to Expect

  • Initial Consultation


    Your initial GLP-1 consultation can be completed virtually (Louisiana Patients Only) or in-person. During this visit, your provider will review your medical history, discuss your weight loss goals, evaluate whether GLP-1 treatment is appropriate for you, and answer any questions you may have. If you're a candidate, we'll create a personalized treatment plan and discuss the next steps, including any recommended lab work.

  • Lab Visit


    Lab work helps ensure that GLP-1 treatment is safe and appropriate for you. During your lab visit, we'll collect the necessary blood work to evaluate your overall health and establish a baseline before or during treatment. Your provider will review the results and make any recommendations needed to support your weight loss journey.

  • Follow-up Visits


    Follow-up visits are designed to monitor your progress and keep you on track. They are scheduled every 4 weeks. Your provider will review your weight loss, discuss how you're tolerating your medication, address any side effects or concerns, and adjust your treatment plan or dosage as needed. These visits provide ongoing support to help you achieve safe, sustainable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved injectable medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes management. They have since gained recognition for their ability to promote significant, long-term weight loss when combined with healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes.

How do the medicines work?

  • Semaglutide (GLP-1 agonist): Mimics a natural hormone (GLP-1) that regulates appetite, slows digestion, and signals fullness to the brain.
     
  • Tirzepatide (dual GLP-1/GIP agonist): Works on two hormone pathways (GLP-1 and GIP) for even greater appetite suppression, blood sugar regulation, and enhanced weight loss results.

Both medications target the gut-brain connection to influence appetite, digestion, and metabolism:

  1. Appetite Regulation – Signals to the brain that you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer.
  2. Slowed Digestion – Slows stomach emptying, reducing cravings and preventing overeating.
  3. Improved Insulin Sensitivity – Helps the body regulate blood sugar more effectively, reducing spikes and crashes.
  4. Sustainable Weight Loss – By curbing appetite and stabilizing metabolism, patients are able to lose weight steadily over time.

Clinical trials show that patients using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide under medical supervision can lose a significant percentage of body weight — often more than with diet and exercise alone.

What are the benefits?

Patients at The Boujee Bee choose these treatments because they:

  • Promote steady, sustainable weight loss
  • Reduce appetite and cravings
  • Improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
  • Lower the risk of weight-related conditions (like diabetes and heart disease)
  • Support long-term weight management when combined with lifestyle changes

How are the injections given?

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are typically administered once a week under medical supervision.

Are the results permanent?

Results are long-lasting when combined with a healthy lifestyle. However, weight can return if treatments are discontinued and lifestyle changes are not maintained.

What are the side effects?

Both are highly effective. Semaglutide works powerfully on appetite regulation, while Tirzepatide works on two hormone pathways and may result in greater weight loss for some patients. Your provider will help determine the best option for your needs.

Which medication is better?

For most people seeking weight loss, tirzepatide has demonstrated greater average weight loss than semaglutide in clinical trials. However, "better" depends on the individual.

Here's a balanced way to present it on your website:

Tirzepatide vs. Semaglutide

Both tirzepatide and semaglutide are effective medications for weight management and work by helping reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and support healthier eating habits. Clinical studies have shown that tirzepatide may produce greater average weight loss than semaglutide for many patients. However, the best option depends on your medical history, health goals, how you tolerate the medication, and cost considerations. During your consultation, your provider will help determine which treatment is the most appropriate choice for you.

Am I a candidate?

Patients with a BMI over 27 with weight-related health concerns, or a BMI over 30, may be excellent candidates. A consultation is required to determine eligibility.

Do you accept insurance for appointments or labs?


We do not accept insurance for GLP-1 consultations or lab visits. All appointments and laboratory services are self-pay. Our team will review all costs with you before treatment so you know exactly what to expect.
