[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I know why he chose to go on wegovy - would like to settle down and get a boyfriend/hopefully husband, but was having a rough time on dating apps.

All health indicators were perfect (no issues with BP, lipids, Hgb A1c etc), but he’s just a big guy and Manhattan is a tough dating market.

Makes me frustrated as I think he’s fantastic and funny and perfect. I kind of hate that wegovy seems to be making being thin the only acceptable option regardless of body type. As I said, I was of course supportive in person! It just freaked me out because he looked ill.

And I worry that doctors don’t know what they are doing! It was so much, so fast! And he seemed so subdued and weird. He was freezing cold the whole time. Hopefully he will feel better when this is over. And be able to find a boyfriend.

But seriously, someone please come up with service that supports people on wegovy! His doctor just write a prescription months ago & that’s it - hasn’t seen him since. That’s what my doctor suggested, too - just write a script & I’d be on my own.

I think patients may need additional support to titrate the speed, monitor diet, and make sure not too much muscle mass is lost. If nothing else, I think that this sort of ancillary service will make a lot of money. Especially in the big cities where the docs are pushing wegovy and it has become the new norm.[/quote]

This already exists. I get Wegovy through a weight loss clinic that offers a nutritionist and behavioral therapist, and very basic fitness advice that emphasizes the need for strength training. There are a million weight trainers in Manhatten who your friend could hire. He could back off the dose or take Zofran if he's feeling ill. Sorry but this ultimately comes down to your friend's decisions. It sounds like you want to limit his ability to get an Rx unless he's doing things you think are appropriate.

But LOL that Wegovy is the reason people feel they need to be thin. Wegovy didn't create the demand. [/quote]
