[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any feedback on using Saxenda or Wegovy for weight loss?  I have seen some interesting articles about it and heard some personal stories of success with Saxenda.  And then I started seeing ads for a service called Calibrate on IG (algorithm, I know) that combines dr supervised weight loss program with one of these medications (if you can get it covered by insurance).  Calibrate is claiming that the meds will re-set your metabolism to a lower weight point so that your body isn't fighting to stay a certain weight.  They aim for 10% reduction in your weight, but it seems like these may work better than that.  Just curious if anyone has any thoughts or has tried these before. TIA.[/quote]

I’ve been in Calibrate since 7/2 and just got started on Saxenda. (Could have started earlier, but was traveling and didn’t want temperature controlled meds coming to me when I wasn’t home.) The drug patients are prescribed during the program depends on program doctor’s recommendation and also patient’s insurance. It does take awhile for insurance to approve.

I’ve been doing quite well with Calibrate’s coaching program — went from 175 to 155 since starting in July. Hoping to continue that rate with the GLP-1 medication since this is where I feel I could plateau.

Would love to hear how others have done on similar medications![/quote]
