Reaching your goal is step one — here's how to stay there
If you've successfully lost weight with the help of a prescription treatment like Wegovy or Mounjaro, first of all, congratulations. That's an incredible achievement.
After reaching your goal, it's completely natural to wonder what comes next. Many people feel uncertain about maintaining their results and may worry about gaining the weight back. You're not alone in feeling this way and the good news is, there's a plan that can help.
At PrivateDoc, we've created a dedicated maintenance programme to support you through this next phase. With clinical guidance and a structure tailored to your lifestyle, you can feel confident moving forward.
Why maintenance matters — and why it's not about willpower
Here's something we want all our patients to know:
If weight begins to return after treatment, it doesn't mean you've done anything wrong.
GLP-1 medications work by helping to regulate appetite and make healthier eating easier. Once treatment ends, your natural hunger signals may return to previous levels which is a completely normal biological response.
This is why having a maintenance plan in place makes such a difference. It's about setting you up for long-term success with the tools and support to keep going.
What does weight loss maintenance look like at PrivateDoc?
Our maintenance programme is designed to help you protect the progress you've made and feel supported at every step.
Here's what's included:
- Continued access to GLP-1 medication at lower doses (if clinically appropriate)
- Monthly check-ins with our clinical team
- Flexible support duration — based on what works best for you
Ready to protect your progress? Start your maintenance plan today.
This isn't neccessarily about staying on medication forever
Our goal is to support a safe and gradual transition and help you maintain healthy habits that last.
For some people, continuing on a lower dose of medication provides added stability while they build confidence in new routines. For others, the focus might shift more quickly to lifestyle guidance and tools. You're always in control, and we're here to guide and support you.
You're in control and you're not alone
There's a lot of misinformation around GLP-1 weight loss treatment, especially the idea that regaining weight is inevitable. With the right support in place, that simply isn't true.
At PrivateDoc, we believe in supporting the whole journey, not just the start. Our maintenance programme is here to give you the reassurance, structure, and expert care you need to maintain your success and feel proud of what you've achieved.
