Weight loss medications are everywhere right now — but with the buzz comes a lot of questions. At Novant Health, the focus is on helping patients cut through the noise and find safe, personalized solutions that actually work.

A doctor-led approach to weight loss

According to Dr. Neil McDevitt, a bariatric surgeon with Novant Health General Surgery & Bariatrics, medications like GLP-1s can be powerful tools — but they’re not one-size-fits-all. With locations in Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Goose Creek, and Beaufort, his team works closely with patients to determine the right path forward.

What to know about GLP-1s

GLP-1 medications are designed to support weight loss by:

Reducing appetite
Helping you feel full longer
Supporting better blood sugar control

But they’re most effective when paired with medical guidance, lifestyle changes, and ongoing support.

Is it right for you?

Weight loss is personal — and sometimes complex. That’s why having a trusted clincian matters. Whether you’re just starting to explore options or looking for a more structured plan, a consultation can help you better understand what’s available and what fits your goals.

If you’re curious, the next step is simple. Schedule a consultation at the location nearest to you and the Novant Health team to start a conversation about safe, effective weight loss options tailored to you.
