For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on semaglutide for 10 months and lost 19 lbs. I lost quickly at first, now it is slowing down over the last 6 months. I did not feel like eating much for the first half, loss of appetite and stomachache. Now I eat and get my stomachache about 1/2 hr after eating and wish I did not eat. I have constipation and take a stool softener once a week and then a mild laxative once a month. My tastes have changed also."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "I've lost 60 lbs so far, which is fabulous! The only thing is that, according to my roommate, I have a very pronounced fishy smell."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "This is a miracle drug. It works. My numbers are within normal range, and I've lost a good amount of weight in the process. The weight loss has encouraged me to employ a healthier diet and exercise program. Because I eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, I don't experience constipation any longer. The side effects are very manageable."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "Took a few weeks for results to show. Started at 270, and at 247, I started getting diarrhea, bloated, cramps, blurry-eyed, dizzy, fainted, low blood sugar. I had to quit to test if this was the Ozempic or one of my many other medical issues."

Semaglutide for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "It's been great-I'm 53 years old, and I've been taking it since August. I've lost 30 pounds with no side effects. I take a 0.5 mg shot once a week, and I feel better than I have since before my last pregnancy 13 years ago. I tried everything to lose weight, and it just wouldn't come off. I have a family history of heart disease that includes my father having his first heart attack at 36, resulting in open-heart surgery, and his death at 49 from another heart attack. When I was 50, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, plus I weighed 230 pounds at 5'4" tall. I asked my doctor for a couple of years to prescribe a semaglutide, but because it was only really available for diabetics, she refused. When Wegovy was cleared for weight loss, she agreed to let me try it. It has been life-saving, I think."

Semaglutide for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Just moved to 0.5 mg. No side effects, down 10 lbs. No longer have all the “food noise.” Eliminated all the snacking, and portion sizes naturally reduced during meal time as a result of the drug. Hearing some reviews where later doses caused more significant side effects, but so far, highly recommend."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "I needed it for obesity, was already on diabetes drugs but needed to reduce weight. I had 0.5 mg. I lost a lot of weight but suffered from a bloated tummy as a side effect. I lost my appetite. No serious side effects other than hating to see food."

Semaglutide for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been on Wegovy since 12/2022. I have titrated up accordingly, and to this date, I have currently lost 100 lbs with only diet modification due to mobility restrictions. I was borderline diabetic with high cholesterol before I started. As for side effects, I struggled with overwhelming nausea up to the 2.4 mg dose, and now I only have nausea the first day of the injection or if I eat something that doesn't agree with me or I eat one bite too much. Personally, I have found having this medication available to me extremely beneficial, as I gained 100+ lbs due to medical issues and mobility restrictions over a four-year period. I feel so much better, I look better, and my labs are WAY better. The injection is easy to use."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "Ozempic has helped me, so I do not have to take insulin. When I first started it, I had tummy aches, but now that I have been on it for the past three months, no problems with that. You do have to be careful about how much you eat, Ozempic has helped me regulate how I eat and what I eat. If you overeat, you may end up with a bad case of diarrhea, but that doesn't happen very often anymore. One more thing, if you come off the Ozempic, you may see a spike in your blood sugar. Overall, I really don't have a problem with taking Ozempic."

Semaglutide for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "I have been diagnosed recently (Aug 2024) with prediabetes, a very close call towards Type 2 Diabetes. Underlying health issues include high cholesterol, arthritis, receding spinal fluids, sleep apnea, and ultimately a walking cardiac arrest risk. I am 182 cm tall, 99 kg, at 46 years old, a guy who has been struggling with weight management seems like forever. Body fat of 28%, visceral fat level 14, waist size of 38. My endocrinologist put me on Ozempic first on a 0.25 mg/week dosage for 4 weeks. After that, he added piolet and increased to 0.5 mg/week for another 4 weeks. My testosterone level dropped from 20 to 7 after 1 month of use of Ozempic, and I was given a shot of Nebido. My testosterone rose up to 15. Now, at the end of Dec 2024, my weight is 82 kg, 18% body fat, visceral fat level 7, testosterone 19, normal sugar, kidney, liver level, while keeping Ozempic at 1 mg/week, not needing to increase further. No side effects at all from taking Ozempic, luckily."

Semaglutide "I am 24, 5’7, my starting weight was 230 pounds. I love, love, love this medication, it completely changed my life and gave me newfound confidence. I was literally at rock bottom, gaining so much weight and eating whatever I wanted. I was just in this cycle of binging and restricting. I had heard about Ozempic and immediately wanted to try it. I was so nervous, but I did it, and I’m so, so glad. I started in May of 2023, and by April 2024, I had lost 90 pounds! I’m now 130 and still losing after being off it for a few months. I have learned new habits, and it’s completely changed my relationship with food. I have had absolutely zero side effects, not even a headache. I am so happy with this medication, and I recommend it to everyone. Just take a chance, it could work out for you. It really depends, some people have bad reactions, but you never know until you try."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "I have been taking Ozempic for 9 weeks. Started at 0.25 for 4 weeks, and then my dosage was increased to 0.50 for 4 more weeks. Last week, my dosage was increased to 1 mg, and now I am feeling nauseous and have been vomiting. I have to eat very small meals, or I throw it all up. Sometimes I am throwing up from the night before. I don't know what my A1c is currently, I have labs next month. My A1c was progressively going up, and I couldn't get it down. Will push through these side effects and see what happens."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "I am 78 years old. My type 2 diabetes was not controlled very well until I was given Ozempic. The gap in my insurance was introduced, and my monthly cost went from $40 monthly to $145 monthly. I was able to manage it until the second year; my portion was more than doubled after the six-month period. As I could no longer afford it, I was given a pill that caused all kinds of gastro problems and made me ill. The Advantage Care I had last year sent me a letter that Ozempic would no longer be available in my pharmacy. I changed providers starting in 1-2025. My first deductible for Ozempic will be $450. After that, I don’t know what it will cost. I am living very dangerously because I cannot take the pill; it makes me very ill. I just hope that someone can get me information on more affordable Ozempic. I don't take it to lose weight; I take it to try to live longer. Apparently, this company is not on my page, and seniors without a lot of money are just expected to die without proper care."

Semaglutide for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am a 74-year-old male who weighed 250 when I started Wegovy. I am now a week into the 2.4 mg dosage and down to 224 lbs. My appetite has declined, and I no longer crave food. I have only one side effect, and that has been constipation. It started the day I began the medication and still continues. I am taking milk of magnesia, and it helps, but still not regular as I would like. I strongly recommend this drug."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "I’m on my fifth dose of 0.25, with no applications other than minor constipation. Added more fiber, so softer to diet. So far, so good, no complaints. Very easy to administer."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have only been using it for 2 weeks. I have experienced no side effects, I go into the doctor tomorrow to recheck my A1c and my full body analysis. At that time, due to tolerating the medication well, we will adjust my dose to receive a more therapeutic outcome. Thus far, I am only on 10 units SQ weekly. The experience has been pleasant, medication administration simple, and I have tolerated the medication without side effects. I will update this later, with more clinical information and outcomes."

Semaglutide for Type 2 Diabetes "It controls my type 2 diabetes far better than Glipizide and Metformin did alone. I only had very mild nausea for the first two weeks. Barely noticeable. I've been on it for a year now with zero side effects. I had to choose a plan on healthcare.gov to cover it better because of its extreme cost. The drug is a miracle for me. My A1C is now in the 5's, down from the upper 6's. I lost 30 lbs. without even trying."

I have not had any side effects that I can attribute to Wegovy. It was very easy to use. I now feel so much better physically, mentally, and emotionally."
