[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My PCP talked me into Wegovy at my annual physical about a year ago. I finally agreed to it because my A1c was getting a little high. So with both obesity (starting BMI was 36) and an A1c that was creeping up, I gave it a try. FWIW, my weight gain and obesity was as a result of medication.

I’ve lost about 60 pounds over the past year, and I feel so much better now that I’m no longer obese. So I’m glad I went on it. However, it has not been easy. I have had quite severe side effects, and I still have them. And my doctor says, and I agree, that I will need to be on the drug for life. I won’t get into the details of my side effects (because it’s pretty gross) except to say that I’ve had really bad GI side effects and fatigue.

But I had been suffering the health effects of obesity; I have severe obstructive sleep apnea, was having trouble with my knee joints, was always tired, had high cholesterol, etc. And now that I’ve lost weight I am doing so much better. I still have about 20 pounds to lose, and the weight loss is very very slow now, but yeah it’s been worth it.

So I’m excited for you. Hopefully the side effects won’t be as bad for you as they have been for me. Communicate with your doctor about them, and stay on top of them.[/quote]
Are you off the meds which caused the gain in the first place?[/quote]
