1 of the 8 programs below lists semaglutide for less than Big Easy Weight Loss's $165 a month. 1 of the 8 lists tirzepatide for less than its $200 a month.

Big Easy Weight Loss is a New Orleans-based telehealth practice run by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Gabriel Lasala, selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as 12-week packages across six named compounding pharmacies.

Best for: Shoppers who want a physician (not an NP or PA) overseeing care and don't mind paying by the 12-week package rather than a flat monthly rate.

What Big Easy Weight Loss does well

  • Consultations are with a live physician, not an NP/PA — CMO Dr. Gabriel Lasala is named
  • Names its pharmacies (Seven Cells, Hallandale, OptioRx, Miller's, ProRx/PerfectRx and BPI/Vita), with a stated 5-to-10-day turnaround depending on the pharmacy
  • Serves all 50 states with free shipping in discreet packaging
  • Monthly installment billing is available on the 12-week packages for cash-flow purposes

Why readers look for an alternative

  • Priced as a 12-week package, not a monthly fee: the widely quoted $133/$166 a month is the one-time new-patient rate, and renewals work out to $165 semaglutide and $200 tirzepatide
  • The pricing page never confirms whether the new-patient discount applies again on a second package, so the true ongoing cost after month 3 is unclear
  • A $75 consultation fee is charged up front; it's credited toward treatment, or refunded if you aren't a good fit
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, per the site's own disclaimer, with 'potential variability in strength, quality, and purity' across its multi-pharmacy panel
