I started on wegovy on 1st December, after blood tests showing high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and fatty liver and massively high blood pressure. I weighed 113kg. Was put on statins, metformin, ramipril….

i have lost 17kg and had my routine blood tests yesterday.

i just got my results back and my cholesterol and liver are back within the normal range and my blood sugars have gone down massively, and am officially in the ‘pre-diabetes’ range. My blood pressure has gone down to 127/78 from 210/120 on the day I initially went to the GP.

Today I bought two pairs of size 16 jeans.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is life changing.

Congrats op, it’s amazing isn’t it. I was similar, medication resistant blood pressure, sleep apnea, hugh cortisol, high cholesterol,bmi 32, now 20, all blood tests results very healthy, literally smack bang in the middle, blood pressure v healthy and off the meds complelty, cholesterol optimal.

I’ve been maintaining for about a year or so on a low dose, weight very stable and the blood tests were take about 3 months ago.

i now exercise 6 days a week, have a clean, healthy diet, no cravings, sleep 8 hours a night solidly, I look healthy, I feel healthy,and I like my appearance again.

That’s a huge success not a little one, such a positive turnaround for your health. Happy to hear it 😌

That’s amazing, well done. What a huge benefit to your health!

I started Wegovy yesterday, haven’t felt anything yet and I’m rather impatient so hoping I start to get some of the benefits soon!

Aw thank you :-) am feeling very chuffed this evening. I have only told two people in real life about my diagnoses (husband and best friend) and I wanted to share it!

That’s an enormous success! I have all the similar health markers but started Mounjaro in February and I’m keen to know how I do in my blood tests (I’ll be next getting them in late July / early August).
