How to Qualify for Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide at TAP MedSpa

Medical weight loss with semaglutide or tirzepatide has helped thousands of people across Oklahoma lose weight when diet and exercise alone were not enough. At TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Oklahoma, Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP offers GLP-1 based medical weight loss programs for qualified patients. Here is what you need to know about the qualification process.


Who Qualifies for GLP-1 Medications

GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are FDA-approved medications for chronic weight management. To qualify at TAP MedSpa, patients generally need to meet one of the following criteria:


A BMI of 30 or higher (classified as obese), or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or elevated cholesterol.


Patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 are not candidates for GLP-1 medications. Tanja will review your full health history during consultation to confirm eligibility.


What the TAP MedSpa Consultation Involves

Your initial consultation at TAP MedSpa includes a full health history review, discussion of your weight loss goals, current medications, and any relevant conditions. Tanja will take your weight and measurements and discuss realistic expectations for the program.


Depending on your individual health profile, lab work may be ordered before starting treatment. This may include a comprehensive metabolic panel, thyroid function tests, hemoglobin A1C, and a lipid panel. These results help Tanja make the safest and most effective treatment recommendation for you.


What If You Don’t Qualify

Not every patient is a candidate for GLP-1 medications. If your BMI or health history does not meet the criteria, Tanja will discuss other options with you. She may recommend lifestyle modifications, referral to another provider, or follow-up once you have additional health data.


TAP MedSpa does not prescribe GLP-1 medications to patients who do not meet clinical criteria. This protects your safety and ensures the program is appropriate for your individual health profile.


How the Program Works for Qualifying Patients

Qualifying patients begin with a low starting dose of semaglutide or tirzepatide administered via weekly self-injection. The dose is gradually increased over several weeks to minimize side effects such as nausea. TAP MedSpa provides injection supplies, guidance on proper technique, and follow-up care throughout the program.


Patients on the program visit TAP MedSpa regularly to monitor progress, adjust dosing if needed, and address any questions or concerns. Most patients see meaningful weight loss results within the first 12 to 16 weeks, with continued progress as the program continues.
