Certainly! We offer maintenance therapy for patients in most cases, however, the only patients that don't qualify for maintenance therapy are patients with a BMI < 22 and this is mainly because we're a virtual platform and for this patient population it's safer to provide maintenance therapy if they're managed at a physical clinic. In order to qualify for maintenance therapy, a patient needs to have a previous diagnosis of obesity (BMI > 30) or overweight (BMI > 27) and have been on a GLP-1 medication within the past 12 months. You may take our quiz to see if you qualify for maintenance therapy!

If you meet any of the following criteria, you may not be eligible for a prescription of GLP-1 weight loss medication:

1. Currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or actively trying to become pregnant
2. End-stage kidney disease (on or about to be on dialysis)
3. End-stage liver disease (cirrhosis)
4. Active eating disorder or history of eating disorder (bulimia, anorexia, etc.)
5. Current suicidal thoughts and/or prior suicidal attempt
6. Cancer (active diagnosis or treatment)
7. Current or history of pancreatitis
8. History of organ transplant on anti-rejection medication
9. Severe gastrointestinal condition (gastroparesis, inflammatory bowel disease)
10. Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2

Please note that these eligibility criteria are not exhaustive, and it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment of your individual circumstances.

No, on your initial visit with your licensed provider, in addition to reviewing your health history and goals, your clinician will order any necessary lab work. This step ensures your suitability for our program and to determine which medications would be most optimal for your weight management.

‍

The required labs typically encompass a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1C), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and a lipid panel. If you've had these labs completed within the past 24 months, you may not need labs ordered during your initial consultation, but this decision will be made by your provider.

You may upload your previous lab results into your portal or submit it to: support@joinfridays.com where someone from our team will upload it to your chart for your provider to review before your initial visit. It’s important to note that periodic lab tests may be required to monitor your body’s response to the medication and ensure safety.
