[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been going to NOVA Physician Wellness Center, and am nearing my goal weight after many months on Wegovy.  They say that once I reach my goal weight I need to wean off the Wegovy.  But I keep reading that it's a lifelong thing once you have been obese, and that you will regain all the weight and then some if you stop.  I don't have any side effects from the drug.  So why do they say I need to stop using it?[/quote]

I've been on Ozempic since April (not diabetic, but it was approved by my insurance).  When I first started, my dr. said this might be something I would have to be on forever.  The last time I went to see her 2 weeks ago, she gave me a card from some nutrition and wellness practice and said I should contact them to "make a plan" and that at some point I would need to stop the medication.  At the time I didn't say anything, but I will next time I see her because I am wondering what changed.  I wonder if drs' offices are getting push back from someone/something to stop prescribing it as much. [/quote]
