Weight loss medications are everywhere right now — but with the buzz comes a lot of questions. At Novant Health, the focus is on helping patients cut through the noise and find safe, personalized solutions that actually work.
A doctor-led approach to weight loss
According to Dr. Neil McDevitt, a bariatric surgeon with Novant Health General Surgery & Bariatrics, medications like GLP-1s can be powerful tools — but they’re not one-size-fits-all. With locations in Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Goose Creek, and Beaufort, his team works closely with patients to determine the right path forward.
What to know about GLP-1s
GLP-1 medications are designed to support weight loss by:
- Reducing appetite
- Helping you feel full longer
- Supporting better blood sugar control
But they’re most effective when paired with medical guidance, lifestyle changes, and ongoing support.
Is it right for you?
Weight loss is personal — and sometimes complex. That’s why having a trusted clincian matters. Whether you’re just starting to explore options or looking for a more structured plan, a consultation can help you better understand what’s available and what fits your goals.
If you’re curious, the next step is simple. Schedule a consultation at the location nearest to you and the Novant Health team to start a conversation about safe, effective weight loss options tailored to you.
