Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1 medicines are among the most effective medical weight-loss treatments available today, and they are a leading option at Presence Medical Care in Hurst — alongside other proven approaches, so care can be tailored to you. They are not right for everyone. Melissa House helps you explore medication and non-medication paths, understand the trade-offs, and build ongoing support around your daily life.

Could a GLP-1 medicine be right for me?
GLP-1-based treatments can help regulate appetite and fullness. Your medical history, current medicines, weight-related health concerns, and treatment goals guide whether an assessment makes sense. These medicines can cause side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and digestive symptoms; contraindications and other risks need an individual discussion before treatment.
What if I prefer a different approach?
Care can include nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and behavior support, as well as other evidence-based medicines when appropriate. There is no single best approach for every person. Together, you can choose a plan that considers your health, preferences, practical needs, and the support you want.
How does care begin at Presence?
Melissa House, a Board-Certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP / APRN-CNP), begins with a conversation about your health and weight history. An assessment may include an examination and clinically appropriate labs. The aim is to understand what is contributing to weight changes before agreeing on a treatment direction.
What does ongoing support look like?
Follow-up gives you room to discuss progress, side effects, nutrition, and changes in your health or priorities. Your plan can be adjusted as needed. Results vary, and longer-term weight management often requires continuing support rather than a short course of treatment.
How can I discuss availability and cost?
Call Presence to discuss medical weight management and appointment availability at our Hurst location. Ask about consultation, follow-up, laboratory, and medication costs before starting. Medication eligibility, coverage, and availability are individual; a conversation does not guarantee a prescription.
What else would you like to know?
What is GLP-1 for weight loss?
GLP-1 is a hormone involved in appetite and blood-sugar regulation. GLP-1-based medicines act on related pathways to help eligible patients feel fuller and eat less. A clinician must assess benefits, risks, and suitability.
Are there options besides GLP-1?
Yes. Weight management can include nutrition, movement, sleep, behavior support, and other evidence-based medicines when appropriate. Your plan is individualized rather than limited to one treatment.
How does medical weight loss work at Presence?
Care begins with your goals and health history, followed by an appropriate clinical assessment. You and Melissa discuss options and a follow-up plan that can evolve with your needs.
Will I be prescribed medication?
Not necessarily. Prescribing depends on clinical assessment, medical history, contraindications, and an informed discussion. No medicine or weight-loss outcome is guaranteed.
