"I wanted to lose about 45 pounds and asked my cardiologist to prescribe Wegovy because I have cardiovascular disease. I'm on a Medicare Advantage insurance, and the med was approved. I have been on it for 2.5 months and am down 25 pounds. I haven't had any noticeable side effects except insane constipation. I already had issues with that, so I take a Linzess every morning, and that does the trick. I started noticing the curbed appetite the day after my first dose. It's not as intense now, but I have zero food noise, and I just can't eat like I used to. I have had migraines for 35+ years, and I haven't had one since starting Wegovy. I don't think it's my weight loss or improved eating habits, I think it's the medication. Before I became disabled, I was a size 4 and ate very healthy, but had 12+ migraine days per month. I inject my dose in the stomach each week and have never had any reaction to the injection. Overall, I am thrilled with Wegovy so far."

"My experience with Wegovy. - Experienced upset stomach and nausea initially, but these symptoms were manageable. - Lost 32 pounds in six months, with reduced appetite as a significant benefit. - Knee issues have limited exercise, but weight loss has contributed to lower blood pressure. - Monthly cost is around $200, with insurance coverage easing the financial burden. - Wegovy's injection is easy to use and comes with excellent support and reminders."

"It is almost magic, it reduces your appetite without leaving you wanting food. If Novo Nordisk reduces the price to make it available to everyone, this medicine could affect the health and health costs of the entire insurance industry."

"I haven't experienced any side effects taking Wegovy. I can say I did start my whole journey with Ozempic in August 2023, right after my hysterectomy. Switching from Ozempic to Wegovy was a great move. I have had a wonderful experience being on it, my palpitations are really under control, my blood pressure is way down, and I even lost weight that I put on during menopause. I also have had high cholesterol (which is extremely high in our genes), and my last draw was good, even my A1c is down to a 4.6 from an average of always 5.3. I'm not constantly gulping water like a fish anymore and feel great, and I don't feel swollen like a balloon 24/7. My hot flashes went away along with the mood swings, and even my IBS has not been an issue. The only problems I have had is my insurance/pre-authorization to get coverage, so that's made it very hard to be on this because it has truly changed my whole life."
