Medical Weight Loss
“Lose Weight. Gain Life.”
At D’Vine Medical Spa, our medical weight loss program is led by Dr. Shady Macaron, MD, FACS — a board-certified bariatric surgeon, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and Regional Director of Bariatric Surgery for Trinity Health of New England. With 25 years of surgical experience and a specialty in minimally invasive bariatric procedures, you are in the most qualified hands in Connecticut.
Unlike typical weight loss programs, our approach is truly medical — personalized, supervised, and science-backed to deliver real, lasting results.
We combine advanced GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide with nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching, and regular follow-up visits to help you reach your goals safely and effectively.
Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds or make a significant lifestyle transformation, our team provides the tools, education, and accountability needed to support your success.
Semaglutide — An FDA-approved GLP-1 medication that mimics natural hunger-regulating hormones to reduce appetite and regulate blood sugar, helping you lose weight consistently and sustainably.
Tirzepatide — Another FDA-approved powerful dual-action GLP1 and GIP medication targeting two hormones responsible for hunger and blood sugar control, delivering even more significant weight loss results.
Vitamin Injections — Complement your weight loss journey with our Lipotropic and B12 injections, designed to boost metabolism, increase energy levels, and support fat burning.
When it comes to your health, experience and expertise matter. At D’Vine Medical Spa, you get both.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program that combines prescription medications, nutrition guidance, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing support to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss and improve overall health.
What medications do you offer?
We offer advanced GLP-1 medications, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, as part of a personalized treatment plan. During your consultation, our provider will determine which option is most appropriate based on your goals and medical history.
How do Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work?
These medications help regulate appetite, slow stomach emptying, and improve blood sugar control. Many patients find they feel fuller longer, experience fewer cravings, and are able to make healthier food choices more easily.
How much weight can I lose with GLP-1 medications?
Results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as starting weight, lifestyle habits, and treatment adherence. Most patients experience gradual, sustainable weight loss over time when medications are combined with healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Will I receive nutrition guidance?
Yes. We believe long-term success requires more than medication alone. Our team provides education and guidance on protein intake, hydration, exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits to support your results.
How often are follow-up appointments?
Patients are typically seen monthly for progress evaluations, medication management, accountability, and ongoing support throughout their weight loss journey.
Am I a candidate for medical weight loss?
Many adults who struggle with weight loss despite diet and exercise may be candidates. During your consultation, we will review your medical history, goals, and current health status to determine if treatment is right for you.
Are there any side effects?
Some patients may experience nausea, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, or changes in appetite. Most side effects are temporary and can often be minimized through proper hydration, nutrition, and gradual dose adjustments.
How can I reduce side effects?
We recommend focusing on hydration, adequate protein intake, smaller meals, and avoiding high-fat or heavily processed foods. Our team will provide detailed education and support throughout treatment.
Do I need to exercise while on the program?
Exercise is encouraged and can improve weight loss results, preserve muscle mass, increase energy levels, and support long-term success. We will help you develop realistic goals based on your fitness level and lifestyle.
What happens after I reach my goal weight?
Once your goal weight is achieved, we will discuss a personalized maintenance plan to help you preserve your results and continue building healthy habits for long-term success.
