For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Tuesday was the second shot. So far, no headaches, just upset stomach now and then. I really like that it takes all hunger away. Now I just focus on eating healthy and much less. I'm a 60-year-old man, started at 293 lbs. Tuesday, before the shot, I weighed 283. I feel better when I drink water, which I drink at least 10 bottles a day. Eat more fruit and veggies."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This is the first week at the 1mg dose, I lost 8 pounds last week. Before this, I was too scared to get on the scales, but I can feel I have lost significant weight. I have reduced appetite and cravings for sweet things that started almost immediately upon starting the drug. The only side effects I have had were, around week 3, constipation and trapped wind that caused waves of stomach pain for a few days. In the UK, you are supposed to be able to get this on the NHS if your BMI is over a certain level with associated health issues. However, no funding has been provided, so I am paying around £150-200 per month. This is offset by reduced food costs and alcohol costs that make it almost pay for itself."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Personally, I would recommend Wegovy to anyone struggling with weight loss. I'm 6 months in, a 41-year-old man. My starting weight was 14 stone 9.5 lb, and I'm currently 13 stone 2.5 lb. I'll start with the negatives: 1. Cost - this is very expensive, especially at the top dose, which is what you'll likely stay on for the longest. 2. Side effects - everyone is different, for me, it was indigestion and occasional nausea, but it's been perfectly manageable and worth it considering the benefits of the weight loss. The positives: I rarely feel hungry, I often have to force myself to eat. My portion sizes are much smaller, and I no longer go for sweet treats before bed. I haven't altered my diet at all, I still eat unhealthy food when I want, just less of it, and less frequently, so I don't struggle with cravings for foods that I'm not allowed."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Wegovy on 1/31/2023 at 224 lbs. As of today, 5/2/2024, I am at 154 lbs. I have had minimal side effects. I do not have cravings and no longer do I think about what I am going to eat next. I work out 3-4 days a week but did that prior to starting Wegovy. On 0.25, I lost 6 lbs. On 0.5, I lost 3 lbs. In the first 4 weeks of 1.0, I lost 6 lbs. In the second 4 weeks, I lost 3 lbs. In my first 4 weeks of 1.7, I lost 7 lbs and in my second 4 weeks, I lost 2 lbs. I started 2.4 on 7/17/2023, and on that, I have lost 39 lbs. Some weeks the weight loss was larger than others, but there was always weight loss. I have no complaints and would recommend anyone to speak to their doctor if they are interested. We are all different, and for some people, it works and for some, it does not. Some people have terrible side effects, and some don't."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Started Wegovy 11 weeks ago (just had my last dose of 1mg pen) and have lost 9 lbs. I felt at first it didn’t do much but gradually by upping the dose felt my cravings and want for fatty foods has hugely decreased. The “food noise” was very real to me, now I never finish a meal and just don’t have the interest in food like I previously did. It’s much more convenient being a weekly injection and as someone who hates needles, it really is nothing to worry about. In terms of side effects, from week two I have suffered from sulphur burps (disgusting eggy smell) and excessive gas/belching. The day after my injection, I feel fatigued, so changed my injection day so it landed on a weekend, so I wasn’t at work and this worked well. I only feel sick if I overeat and at the start had some cramps on and off which have totally disappeared now. One week off upping to 1.7mg and other than sulphur burps, it really is amazing, the key I believe is patience, the side effects are worth it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Wegovy for about 8 months. My weight has dropped about 40 lbs. In the beginning, I did have upset stomach on occasion and found there are a few things I could not eat or drink anymore, but my blood pressure is a lot better. I feel good about myself. I don't need to lose any more weight. I am walking a mile a day, using my weights every morning, and I don't drink much alcohol anymore, not that I am saying I was an over drinker, but because of the calories and some of it doesn't taste good anymore. It has helped me eat better, rethink about how much I eat, and be healthier. My old clothes that didn't fit are now fitting, and I have a whole new wardrobe to go through."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Wegovy last month. Did all 4 doses of the 0.25 and took my first 0.50 yesterday. The first 0.25 injection I was vomiting and had a headache, but it only lasted one day. No other issues. As far as weight, I am 5'5'' and at my doctor's appointment I weighed my highest ever at 195 lbs! After the 4 doses of the 0.25, I am already down to 180 lbs! I am not exercising. Wegovy cut my appetite so much that I literally had to force myself to eat; I'm not complaining though! So now that I have started on the 0.50, I'm interested in seeing if I continue to drop. 15 lbs is a huge loss in one month on the 0.25 and I know it isn't typical, but it really has been a great experience for me. I will update next month after I take my last dose of the 0.50. I would definitely recommend Wegovy."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took my first 0.25 shot of Wegovy 4 days ago. Everything is going great so far. I experience a very small amount of nausea in the morning but it is completely manageable. I have noticed that I am more content throughout the day and my portion sizes have gone down. I have also had a lot more energy and don’t feel so tired all the time. I know that it is very early to really give a review for this medication so this is more directed to those individuals who are nervous or scared to start the medication. I was terrified after reading some of the “bad” reviews but I finally did it. I know we will all have different experiences but it was definitely worth trying in my opinion!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am a veteran and had to be put on by endocrine dr. in the weight loss clinic. My starting weight was 230 @ 5’1. I wasn’t a candidate for weight loss surgery due to clotting issues. I started on Saxenda and rapidly lost like 20 lbs., but gained it all back. That whole process was like 3-4 months. My endo expected and expects it with the Wegovy. Wegovy: starting weight 230 have been on for idk maybe 8 months. I’m 165. My goal is 140. I had a follow-up with endo today. He said I’ve lost more than any other of his patients on Wegovy and he’s had patients on it for 2+ years. I also haven’t done any exercise except walking my dog every day for 15-60 mins. Side effects? I already had gastroparesis. So I’m used to horrible nausea, but I have it still. Maybe be worse from it. Nothing else."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My goal at the start was to lose 2 stone. I started with the 0.25 dose on 20 December. Negligible side effects - very minor nausea, that's all. Already lost a stone between 20 December - 20 January. That is despite the Christmas season. On the first few days after injection, I almost can't look at food or wine, and really only eat to survive. Not at all possible to even contemplate drinking wine or beer. This wanes towards the 5th or 6th day after injection. I'm now on the 1.0 dose and will probably stay on this for a couple more months as I'm close to my end goal - can't believe how effective Wegovy has been. The challenge will be maintaining the weight loss after Wegovy, as I don't intend to be on this for the rest of my life. What's worked for me: I keep active and walk a few miles a few times a week, drink lots of water, aim to eat in small amounts throughout the day rather than two or three large meals, eat lots of vegetables and nuts rather than heavy meals."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I found Wegovy to be the best weight loss method for me! I lost all the weight I had gained back after my bariatric sleeve procedure and kept it off until I stopped taking the medication. Now, the weight is starting to creep back up because I don't feel full as fast."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm a newcomer. Been taking Wegovy for 4 weeks now, lost 4 kilos so far. My problem is my appetite & overeating. Wegovy is a Godsend, it completely eradicated my appetite, so I only eat 2 small meals a day. I combine this with reduced carbs & 16-hour IF. I aim to lose 20 kilos in 6 months, which sounds better than drastic, excessive weight loss too quickly. I'll keep you updated."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "First, I love Wegovy and have been on it for 2 years and lost 45 lbs with only minor constipation that 3 prunes in the morning manage. However, as a polyp former, I get a colonoscopy every 3 years. I was unable to cleanse my colon with 8.1 mg/64 oz (Gatorade) of Miralax and with 2 bisacodyl. I stopped taking Wegovy 12 days ago, but obviously that did not work. MDs that do colonoscopies need to be warned or advised to give new instructions for bowel cleansing when taking Wegovy."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started off taking Ozempic then switched over to Wegovy. I only experienced mild side effects such as nausea and headaches in the beginning of starting these meds. This medication worked for me and helped me lose over 60 lbs. In the past, I have tried numerous diets, supplements, bariatric surgery, and programs to help me lose weight and all failed. This is the only medication that truly worked for me and I'm so glad that I was able to tolerate it. Life-changing experience for me."

I've had no side effects and my plan is to lose 125 lbs. The shot is painless and easy to inject. I honestly feel like I lost a whole person. My A1C went from 6.4 to 5.2. I recommend Wegovy to anyone who needs to lose weight..."

I have noticed that I am not as hungry and do feel fuller with less food intake. I will continue with this and hopefully get to the weight I want to be."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I tried everything, almost getting gastric sleeve surgery. Thanks to my cardiologist, even my heart is fine, he doesn't want to give me clearance for the operation. He recommended Wegovy. I think this is the best decision I ever made. I started on November 2nd, 2023, and until now, December 20th, I have lost an incredible 30 pounds. I now eat only two times a day. I used to eat lots of sweet stuff, but not anymore. No more late eating. I eat very small portions and I feel full all day. I love you, Wegovy, it's real. I am on a 1mg dosage. I was 331 pounds and now I am 301 pounds, with a goal to lose 40 more pounds by July. Good luck everyone, there's a chance because of Wegovy."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Starting the 2.4 mg this Friday. I have lost 31 pounds in 4 months. I never thought I would make it to this point, but I seemed to tolerate all the doses up to this point. I am 29 pounds away from my goal of 150, but I will be okay with 160. It was hard to believe this medication is working for me with minimal side effects. I do occasionally get an upset stomach and diarrhea, but a little Pepto-Bismol takes the upset stomach away. I do feel full after eating half a meal and remain full for long periods of time. I am excited that my clothes feel really loose now and I can fit things that I couldn't before or was too tight. This medication has changed my outlook on healthier eating and keeping the weight off."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Weight loss was very easy. In 4 months I have lost 35 lbs. I had to use stool softeners, one a day when I started having problems with constipation, and that took care of the problem. I have to pay $820.00 a month self-pay, and that was after the pharmacy having a $500.00 coupon to help lower the cost from $1300.00. My Medicare insurance will not cover it, nor will my Blue Cross Blue Shield supplement pay any on it because I am using it for a weight loss drug. I am on 170 mg at this time, and I am going to do one more month at 240 mg. I can’t afford to pay for it now, and I am just struggling to pay for it one more month. The doctor told me if I lost 50 pounds, it would really help me. I find it easy to use. I don’t have any problems slacking off on the food I eat."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have lost 19 pounds in the first 4 weeks on 0.25 dosage. I have found that low-fat cottage cheese with some fruit is good around noon as a brunch, with a high-protein dinner and a small salad. I was 2 weeks in over Thanksgiving and was still able to enjoy most everything, but just in much smaller portions. Eating out, I order fish or chicken and ask for a box with the dinner and split it for leftovers. Absolutely no side effects - except for the first day each week after the shot, I find I burp after eating. Also, note: the effects start off very strong during the first part of the week and taper towards the end. I do find myself able to eat more on the last day before my next shot, but even still no major hunger pains. Eat high protein and low-fat, and drink lots of water. I weigh myself every morning and find I lose more on days I drink at least 50 or more ounces of water the previous day. My goal is to lose 40 pounds, and at this rate, I think it will only take me about 70 days. Best journey ever!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was started on Wegovy because my metabolism came to a crashing halt. No matter how healthy I ate, I kept gaining and retaining water weight. I was 478 pounds when I started in April 2023 and have lost 85 pounds in 7 months. My goal is another 100 pounds, but I've noticed that the weight loss slows down on certain weeks and increases other weeks. I've been on 2.4 mg for about 5 months and haven't experienced many of the side effects that have been known to occur. The worst was the upset stomach and the body cleansing itself the first couple of weeks. I am now wearing clothes that I have not been able to fit into for almost 4 years. Wegovy may not be for everyone, but it has been a game changer for me!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have lost 65 pounds so far on Wegovy. Keep in mind, I combined taking this medication with a change in my diet. I do not eat refined sugar, flour or starchy vegetables. Because of Wegovy, for the first time in my life, I experience fullness in my stomach and want to stop eating. I never understood how people could stop eating after one helping or how a plate of cookies could go uneaten by normal people. I do now. Wegovy sends the signal to my brain telling me I've had enough to eat! Wow! I'm so happy now that I don't feel like a slave to food anymore. The feeling of fullness didn't occur until I went from the 0.25mg to the 0.5mg dosage. I experienced diarrhea at first (not too bad though). And now I find stools a little more hard to pass. I also sweat a lot when I'm exerting energy if my dosage is too high. So figure out the right dosage so you don't feel hypoglycemic. The 0.5mg dose for me seems to work the best without these side effects. But everyone is different."
