Has anyone ever tried Wegovy for weight management? I am considering it after my MD suggested I research and try it, I am approximately 45 pounds overweight.

@larry68 - I took semaglutide (Wegovy) before and lost 53 pounds. I did have pretty bad gastrointestinal side effects, so my doctor ultimately had me try tirzepatide (Zepbound or Mounjaro). By the time I got to the highest dose of tirzepatide and my insurance stopped covering me (and thus I stopped), I'd only lost 1 pound.

There are many what if's you could ask about my situation, such as what if was on the tirzepatide longer, but I don't know the answers. My insurance is again covering weight loss shots, and I'm back on semaglutide with a careful eye to any side effects and getting them taken care of immediately.

How has the tirzepatide (Mounjaro) experience gone for you?
