Physician-Supervised Medical Weight Loss in Katy, TX: GLP-1 Medications, Appetite Management, and Real Medical Oversight.
Houston Weight Loss Center offers physician-supervised medical weight loss at our Katy office on Red River Drive, serving Cinco Ranch, Fulshear, Richmond, Cypress, West Houston, the Energy Corridor, and the surrounding communities. Care is overseen by John Bergeron, MD, and provided by your physician or Nurse Practitioner, with a plan built around your body and your goals and adjusted as you progress.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications
GLP-1 medications mimic a natural gut hormone that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. By curbing appetite, reducing cravings, and slowing how quickly you digest food, they make it far easier to stay in the calorie deficit that weight loss requires. GLP-1 treatment has become one of the most widely recognized tools in medical weight loss, and it is the centerpiece of our program.
After a full evaluation, your provider prescribes the GLP-1 medication and dose that fit you, with monitoring at every step.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 medication that reduces appetite and supports steady, sustainable weight loss. Learn more about semaglutide.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly, dual-action medication that works on two appetite-related pathways (GLP-1 and GIP). Learn more about tirzepatide.
Prefer a Non-GLP-1 Option? Phentermine
For patients who do not qualify for a GLP-1, prefer not to use one, or are looking for a lower-cost approach, phentermine is a well-established prescription appetite suppressant we have offered for years. Like everything in our program, it is prescribed and monitored by your provider as part of a supervised plan. Your provider will help you decide whether a GLP-1 or phentermine is the better starting point for you.
Your First Visit at Our Katy Office
Your first visit is a complete medical weight loss evaluation. Here is what to expect:
- Medical history review. We go over your health history, current medications, and past weight loss attempts.
- Body-composition analysis. We measure more than your weight, including body fat and lean muscle, so progress is tracked accurately.
- Weight-focused lab work. Labs are included in your first visit.
- One-on-one time with your provider. Your physician or Nurse Practitioner reviews your results, answers your questions, and recommends a starting plan.
- Your prescription. If medication is right for you, your prescription is sent to your pharmacy.
Monthly Follow-Up Visits
Weight loss works best with regular check-ins. You return to our Katy office once a month so your provider can track your weight and body composition, review side effects, adjust your dose, and keep your plan on course. These visits also give you steady accountability, which is one of the biggest differences between medical weight loss and dieting on your own.
Nutrition Guidance and Lifestyle Support
Medication makes it easier to eat less, but what you eat still matters. Your care team helps you build practical eating habits, protect lean muscle with adequate protein, and fit physical activity into your routine. Learn more about our nutrition counseling and free weight loss education modules.
Keeping the Weight Off
Reaching your goal weight is a milestone, not the finish line. As you approach your goal, your provider will talk with you about a maintenance plan, which may include adjusting your medication and continuing the habits you built during treatment. The aim is lasting results, not a short-term drop on the scale.
Transparent Pricing
- First visit: $199. Includes your medical evaluation, body-composition analysis, and lab work.
- Monthly follow-up visits: $89.
- No membership fees. You pay for your visits as you go.
- Medication is separate. You pay the pharmacy directly. Current pharmacy pricing for cash-pay GLP-1 medications starts at $149 per month and is subject to change.

Medical Weight Loss FAQs
Is GLP-1 weight loss safe?
GLP-1 medications are prescribed and monitored by your provider. Like any medication they can have side effects, which is exactly why our program includes monthly check-ins and dose adjustments. Your provider will review the benefits and risks for your situation.
How much weight can I lose?
Results depend on your starting point, medication, dose, and consistency, and individual results vary. Our goal is steady, sustainable weight loss, and your provider will set realistic expectations for you.
How much does medical weight loss cost in Katy?
Your first visit is $199 and includes lab work. Monthly follow-up visits are $89. There are no membership fees. Medication is paid to the pharmacy separately.
How much do GLP-1 medications cost?
Medication cost depends on your prescription drug coverage. Current pharmacy pricing for cash-pay GLP-1 medications starts at $149 per month and is subject to change. If you have prescription coverage, your medication may cost as little as $25 per month, and qualifying Medicare Part D patients pay $50 per month through the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program. When your plan requires it, we submit the prior authorization at no charge to help get your medication covered.
Do you take insurance?
Our clinic is cash-pay, so office visits are billed directly to you and we do not bill insurance for visits. Your prescription drug coverage may still help pay for your medication, and we handle the prior authorization at no charge.
How often will I see my provider?
After your first visit, follow-up visits are scheduled monthly at our Katy office so your provider can monitor your progress and adjust your treatment.
Do you offer phentermine in Katy?
Yes. Phentermine is available at our Katy office for patients who are not candidates for a GLP-1, prefer not to use one, or want a lower-cost option. Your provider will recommend the best starting point after your evaluation.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Both are once-weekly medications. Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 pathway, while tirzepatide works on two pathways (GLP-1 and GIP). Which one is right for you depends on your health and goals, and your provider will recommend the best fit.
Do I qualify for medical weight loss in Katy?
