I have been on Wegovy for nearly 2 years. The first year I lost 65 pounds very quickly and since then I have been maintaining and maybe losing a little bit more. I have suffered no ill effects at all except the first week when I felt slightly nauseated. But that stopped.
What I don't understand is what people have written about the cost. Yes, it's not cheap but I've never paid anywhere near $600 a month. It started at $250 and went up as my dosage increased. But now I am paying about $350 for a two month supply (one injection a week). I did find a pharmacy that was cheaper than the first one so I encourage you to look around. Part of the cost was the outrageous FedEx $50 overnight shipping (just across the state) - the 2nd pharmacy was able to ship it for $15.
Now there is the pill and I'm going to look into that. Requires a little more discipline (take 30 min. before eating in the morning) but I can do that. It can be a lot cheaper. I'm at the top Wegovy dosage so I don't know how that will affect the cost.
By the way, my PCP was thrilled that I wanted to do it and she was very encouraging. She has done a lot of research and is quite knowledgeable.
P.S. 15 years ago I had Rouen-Y gastric bypass surgery (lost 107 lbs) and then reqained about half of my weight loss because of stupid eating habits. Wegovy has helped me get my head on straight about eating properly.
