[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it to lose 20lbs but I would not recommend it: [b]had bad side effects [/b]and weight came back.[/quote]

The side effects have been very rough for me. Wegovy is not a walk in the park, by any means. [/quote]

What are the side effects? I'm seriously contemplating it after seeing two friends use it with great success, but I am leery of side effects.[/quote]

PP here.

First there is the GI stuff. Diarrhea and stomach pain at first. Worst pain with diarrhea I've ever had. Then that became constipation that was even worse -- multiple impactions that I though I might have to go to urgent care for. I have to be very careful about getting enough fiber, and I've finally broken down and added a stool softener. I had chest pain that traveled into my neck a couple of weeks ago. Thought I was having a heart attack. Nope, just a really weird manifestation of GERD from the Wegovy.

Probably the worst thing for me though, the thing that made me almost quit, was fatigue and weakness. At one point I could barely get myself out of the house to walk my dogs up and down the block. I made it to work, but I remember one day early on I literally put my head down and thought "I think I have to go home even though I only have two more hours at work." My DH and I went to see Big Meadows at SNP and we got out of the car and chose to do what is basically just a walk in the woods on a road with no elevation, and it was tough to even do that for 20 mins. I was just exhausted. Fortunately, it has now lifted. But it was a problem for several months.

Also: Some blurry vision the day after the shot. Some depression a day or two after the shot. Some gas and bloating.

Fortunately, I have had zero nausea and vomiting. [/quote]
