[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked my family practice physician about Wegovy last fall. I am near 50 and my BMI is over 30. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I am a vegetarian with PCOS. My doctor said while I would be a good candidate for the medication she thought I should try weightlifting and becoming a full vegan for three months. If that didn't work she said she would recommend weight loss surgery. My blood work was excellent. I told her I am not interested in surgery and wanted to try Wegovy and she said "there are doctors out there who will prescribe it," and sent me on my way. Does anyone have a recommendation for a Virginia-based doctor who might be able to help? Should I just find a local endocrinologist and make an appointment?
