Find out how this Medical Weight Loss Clinic patient banished binge eating

For 49-year-old Teresa Pecoraro of Canton, adding semaglutide to her weight loss efforts has given her the freedom from binge eating she sought for years.

Translating and speaking on her behalf, Teresa’s husband Alessandro Vitali explained that she had struggled with binge eating off and on for 30 years. Then, in the fall of 2023, about a year after relocating from Italy, Teresa sought help from Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Canton. Alessandro says she specifically looked to MWLC for guidance after reading about the benefits of injectable weight loss medications like Ozempic.

After starting at 196 pounds, Teresa expects to hit her goal weight of 130 pounds within the next few months with Medical Weight Loss Clinic.

“She tried several times to lose weight in the past and she did well with some medical support but had never used semaglutide,” he says. “Semaglutide, in combination with a specific diet that has been provided, is now giving her a big improvement. She lost 60 pounds in nine months.”

Teresa has received a steady dose of semaglutide since she started taking it and says her experience has been positive. She felt a bit nauseous and tired for the first couple months, especially for the first couple days after a weekly injection, but that’s almost stopped.

“It’s not an issue,” Alessandro says. “It’s something she can manage quite well.”

After starting at 196 pounds, Teresa expects to hit her goal weight of 130 pounds within the next few months. In the past, she has struggled to stabilize her weight after meeting a goal, but feels supported by our staff and confident she will succeed.

Beyond the semaglutide, Teresa and Alessandro say the support from clinic staff when it comes to diet has been helpful as they adjust to food shopping and eating in the United States.

“She wants to mention as well that being Italian and moving to the U.S., it was not easy for us to find healthy food and keep a healthy diet,” Alessandro says. “We know how to do it in Italy but not here. There are several similar products but not the exact same. The suggestions from the clinic were really helpful.”

Grocery shopping in the United States was challenging for Medical Weight Loss Clinic patient Teresa, who moved here from Italy. She found support and helpful medication she needed.

The changes Teresa has made and experienced thanks to the combination of the semaglutide and a custom meal program from our Canton team has had real impacts on her life. In addition to the weight loss, Alessandro says Teresa’s sleep apnea has dissipated. She’s also experienced less knee pain and water retention. Thanks to these improvements to Teresa’s health, the 10-hour flights to and from Italy are much easier for her than they had been before she began her program.
