[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

They all basically make you sick to your stomach eventually.  This is no way to live. Believe me, I was on two different drugs similar and had the same reaction. It's not a magic cure.  I would spend my money on a personal trainer instead.[/quote]

This is just not true. I was on Wegovy for nearly 2 years and my nausea was minimal or only I ate too much (to eat, when I knew I had had enough to eat.).[/quote]
It hasn't even been out two years.[/quote]

Wegovy for weight loss hasn't been on the market for long, but its active ingredient, semaglutide, has been in use as Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes since December 2017, and the first GLP-1 agonist was approved in 2005. This class of medicines has been out for a long time. It's because people with Type 2 diabetes lost so much weight on them that the pharma companies sought approval for use as weight loss drugs (Wegovy).[/quote]
