Medical Weight Loss in Loganville, GA
FDA-approved Semaglutide from $50. Physician-supervised. Real results.
You've tried the diets. You've fought the cravings. You've done everything "right" — and the scale won't budge. You're not failing. Your biology is working against you.
GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have changed the game for medical weight loss. These FDA-approved injectable treatments work with your body's natural hormone systems to reduce hunger, control cravings, and help you lose meaningful weight — without extreme dieting or grueling exercise routines.
At Southern Comfort Pain & Wellness, our weight loss programs are physician-supervised, affordable (starting at just $50), and designed to work for real people with real lives.
How GLP-1 Medications Work
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body naturally produces after eating. It signals your brain that you're full and slows stomach emptying. GLP-1 medications mimic this hormone at higher, more consistent levels — so you:
- Feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer
- Experience fewer cravings (especially for sugar and processed foods)
- Eat less without constant willpower battles
- Lose weight steadily over weeks and months
Clinical studies show average weight loss of 15–22% of body weight — that's 30–45+ pounds for someone starting at 200 lbs.

What Makes SoCo Different
Am I a Candidate?
GLP-1 weight loss medications may be right for you if:
- Your BMI is 30 or above (obese)
- Your BMI is 27 or above with a weight-related condition (diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain)

What to Expect
Consultation
Meet with your provider to review your medical history, check your BMI, and discuss your goals. Same-day start is often possible.
Start Low, Go Slow
Begin at a low dose to minimize side effects. We gradually increase over several weeks to your target dose.
Weekly Injections
Self-administer your weekly injection at home. It's a tiny needle — most patients say they barely feel it.
Ongoing Support
Regular check-ins with your provider. Dose adjustments as needed. Guidance on nutrition and sustainable habits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Clinical studies show average weight loss of 15–22% of body weight with GLP-1 medications. Individual results vary based on starting weight, adherence, and lifestyle factors. Many of our patients see meaningful results within the first month.
Is Semaglutide the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic (approved for diabetes) and Wegovy (approved for weight loss). We use compounded Semaglutide, which is the same molecule at a fraction of the cost.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound. It works on two hormone receptors (GIP and GLP-1) instead of one, which may provide enhanced results for some patients.
How much does it cost?
Our Semaglutide program starts at just $50. Tirzepatide pricing varies — contact our office for current rates. No insurance needed. No hidden fees.
Do I need insurance?
No. Our weight loss programs are cash-pay, which keeps pricing affordable and eliminates insurance approval delays. This is one reason we can offer Semaglutide from $50.
Are there side effects?
The most common side effects are mild nausea, especially in the first few weeks. We start at a low dose and gradually increase to minimize side effects. Our medical team monitors you throughout the process.
How long do I need to take the medication?
Treatment duration varies. Most patients are on the program for 3–12 months depending on their goals. Dr. Kissel or Tiaya Welsh will work with you on a plan that fits your timeline and budget.
Can I do this program if I have chronic pain?
Absolutely — in fact, weight loss often improves chronic pain, especially in the knees, hips, and spine. As a pain management practice, we understand this connection and can coordinate your care.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your provider will review your medical history, check your BMI, discuss your goals, and determine which program is right for you. If appropriate, you can receive your first injection the same day.
Will I regain the weight when I stop?
GLP-1 medications work best as part of a sustainable plan. During treatment, we help you build healthier habits. Some patients maintain their results after stopping; others choose to continue at a maintenance dose. We tailor the plan to you.
