Hi there I know there are a few of us who have been on wegovy for a long time.
I have been on 1.7 for months.
I started on ozempic in December 2022 and have lost 4 stones
I am now only just in a normal bmi but frankly am still
Pretty fat waist is still in the high risk measurement.
I am completely stuck weight wise and have been losing and gaining the same 4 lbs since January.
I have upped my exercise but it definitely makes me hungrier.
i would like to lose 14 more pounds
has anyone here gone up to 2.4mgs? Did it help?
The extra cost is an issue for me
Any experience very welcome please

Hello! I understand your struggles and can share my experience using Rybelsus for weight loss. I switched to Rybelsus after a few weeks on Ozempic. I cannot tolerate injections, so I had to give up on Ozempic and Wegovy. Rybelsus has the same active ingredient but comes in pill form. I started taking Rybelsus at the beginning of 2023. I started with a 3 mg dose, and at this stage, I managed to lose about 13 pounds in the first two months. However, after this period, my weight loss stalled, which was quite disappointing. Deciding to change the situation, I increased the dose to 7 mg. On this dosage, I continued to lose weight, but the pace was not as fast as I had hoped, with a total loss of only about 18 pounds over the next three months. Despite the continued weight loss, I moved up to a 14 mg dosage. This step proved crucial: over the next three months, I lost an additional 31 pounds. The total result was a weight loss of 62 pounds. Increasing the dose significantly improved my appetite control.

I am swapping from wegovy it hasn't worked for me and going back to saxenda as I lost loads on it!
I'm with VOY and they are good. If you're worried about the cost of you sign up they do discount- I have a 50% off code you can use and then the more you refer you get discount you can get some months free so it's worth it.
The code is joinvoy.com/r/U-KhCsU6Jkej
It works on the higher doses too you just have to show your prescription/confirmation email from the last dose and they put you on the next dose x
