Anyone using Wegovy for weight loss and how are the side effects?

[SoozieT69]

Hi, I'll join. Thinking of starting on Wegovy pill but a bit nervous, would like some reviews from current users please 🙂 Suppose im most worried about side effects....being sick mainly!

Can I jump on here? I’m really considering it but only heard bad things like having gall bladders out!

Loads of posts to read…

Thank you PinkLemons99 x

I’ve lost 3 stone in it. It was fine to start with although it did make me sick if I ate greasy food at the beginning. When I went up to the 2.4mg dose I did have diahorreah and felt sick but my doctor gave me an anti sickness pill I could take if I really felt sick to help me get on with work etc. I used Imodium too but knew that wasn’t sustainable so I dropped back to the previous dose. Lost the 3 stone then stopped when I went on holiday. I am now giving myself lower doses to keep the weight off as I am happy with the weight I am now. I could probably lose another stone but I like how I feel and look at the moment and do t want to look haggard!! So I am happy to keep going with what I am doing. Good luck, it has definitely helped me and has changed my life in a number of ways - for the better!

Hi Soozie, My DH and I have been talking about weight loss injections/pills for a while now and we just placed our first order last night to do it together. My weight just kept on creeping up, now 75kg and my husband has his beer belly. We are hoping to lose weight and become healthier, less joint pain, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, etc. I have a fear of needles but am going to try the injections for a month as it seems a lot less difficult; I worry I might forget to take the pill in the am like I do sometimes with my blood pressure medication. If I can't stand the injections, I will switch to the pills. We decided on Wegovy because MJ was too expensive. There is a site that compares all the pharmacies and prices and we chose New Health because it was the cheapest. I signed up myself and then referred my husband so he got his first pen for £24. Let me know if you need a referral. Good luck on your weight loss journey and a healthier you!
