Weight Management
Medically supervised weight management at Edgemont is delivered by Edgemont Weight Management Clinic — our dedicated weight clinic, in the same building as the pharmacy at Bay 6, 34 Edgedale Dr NW.
The clinic is pharmacist-led by Wessam Sakr, BScPharm, RPh — a Certified Bariatric Educator and Certified Diabetes Educator with more than nine years of direct patient care. Every plan starts with a full clinical assessment, and no referral is needed to begin.
Here is how the clinic and the pharmacy work together:
Most people arrive after diets, apps and willpower have already let them down. That is not a willpower problem — obesity is a chronic medical condition, and it responds to medical treatment. Book a consultation or call the clinic at (587) 592-2900.
Every program at Edgemont Weight Management Clinic is medically supervised and priced up front. Medication and OPTIFAST® product costs are billed separately.
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) are prescribed only when clinically appropriate after assessment. If you want to read up first, the clinic explains how the medications compare, what side effects to expect, and what treatment costs in Calgary.
There is no guesswork and no fad protocol. Care follows the same three stages for everyone, adjusted to what your assessment actually shows.
Programs are led by a Certified Bariatric Educator, so the education you get is current and the clinical decisions are documented. Read about the clinician or check the clinic’s FAQ before you book.
Weight management is a long-term health decision, not a quick fix. Book a consultation with Edgemont Weight Management Clinic and find out which medically supervised options are appropriate for you — no referral required.
Programs are led by a Certified Bariatric Educator with advanced training in obesity and metabolic health, so the guidance you get reflects current clinical standards rather than internet advice.
Assessment, prescribing and dispensing all happen at Bay 6, 34 Edgedale Dr NW. Your medication history and your weight plan sit with the same team, in the same building.
Scheduled follow-ups let us adjust your dose, address side effects early and track more than the number on the scale — energy, mobility and metabolic health all count.
The program is run by Edgemont Weight Management Clinic, our dedicated weight clinic in the same building as the pharmacy. It is pharmacist-led by Wessam Sakr, BScPharm, RPh — a Certified Bariatric Educator and Certified Diabetes Educator with over nine years of direct patient care. More about the clinician.
The Peptide-Based (GLP-1) Program is $155 in total — an $80 initial consultation plus three monthly dose-optimization follow-ups at $25 each. Longer combined programs run from $500 to $1,500 depending on length and whether OPTIFAST® is included. Medication and OPTIFAST® product costs are billed separately. Full pricing here.
No. You can book a consultation directly with the clinic, and the assessment will determine what is clinically appropriate for you. Book online or call (587) 592-2900.
Primarily GLP-1 receptor agonists — semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) — prescribed only when clinically appropriate after assessment. Intensive programs also use the OPTIFAST® meal replacement protocol. How GLP-1 treatment works in Calgary.
That is exactly why the model is pharmacist-led. Your prescriptions are reviewed at assessment and again at dispensing, so interactions and contraindications are caught before you start rather than after. Tolerability and side effects are monitored at every scheduled follow-up.
Yes. We dispense and cold-store GLP-1 medications on site, show you injection technique and storage, and handle refills — so there is no second trip and no gap between your clinic visit and starting treatment.
