@mayomee that’s how I feel. A little apprehensive because I try to keep my digestive system calm. I will be starting Wegovy next week. Fingers crossed! I would like to know how it goes for you as well. I had a heart attack a few years ago.

Thanks for your note. Good luck on the medication. Everybody's situation is different of course and I would make sure you let all of your medical providers know you're going to start taking Wegovy. I had mixed experiences while taking it. I lost around 15 to 20 lbs in the 90 days or so I was on it. That was great. Its very important to follow the directions given, especially about taking it on an empty stomach, and not eating for 30 minutes after taking it first thing in the morning. I wouldn't eat the evening meal the night before after 6 or 7 pm and try to go to the bathroom before bedtime. You will need to eat small meals, and try to exercise more. The only time I had any digestive issues ( diarrhea and stomach aches) where when I ate too much and maybe too late the night before. I've been off of it now for a few weeks and have not gained any weight back, probably because Im eating less and eating better food. I would try it, but big emphasis on less caloric intake before and during the dosage. You will lose weight and be less hungry as you go. The positive heart component is a plus. If you can minimize and manage the digestive symptoms you may or may not incur, hopefully you will have a good experience. Good luck.
