I am interested in group for obesity. I see the group for surgery and weight loss but not interested in that treatment. Looking for discussion on obesity medication treatments, success strategies, what has work non medicine, feeback from what otthers, etc.
I just started WEGOVY and had my first shot 4 days ago. Nothing! It is the starter dose but wondering if others have had the same reaction with first shot. I also wanted to get feedback on side affects and what to expect. I read all the warnings but most dealt with rodents and not humans for the bad side affects like Thyroid and cancers.
Hello @jc76, the group you mentioned of Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss is for all types of weight loss, including WEGOVY - so this would still be a good group to post your discussion topic in.
Here is a search results for WEGOVY, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=WEGOVY. As you can see there are not many discussions dedicated to this topic yet, and I do encourage you to start one in the group you mentioned.
