OP here-thanks! I should say-I'm not the pp in regards to the alcohol side effects-I didn't drink even before wegovy so I can't speak to that.

I defenitely recommend reading through the wegovyweightloss reddit. I don't have an acct or post on reddit but there is lots of good info on how to fill the prescriptions. I'm not local to the board but there are folks there who are.

I am so curious about what we will learn about sub-clinical diabetics in the next several years. That seems to be a possibility which is why people it works for also have other positive impacts.

Curious about the CVS point. Will they fill your prescription on 1/30 or did they say to check back then?

I've been delaying getting a prescription because it seems too hard to fill. But if it's just a matter of being on kind of a waiting list and picking it up in three weeks, I'd be fine with that? (And then, what about the next round of prescription filling?).

This whole thing is confusing, which is what is deterring me.

I believe it is being ordered and that is when it is expected in.

Which dose are you on at this point? For me I started losing right from the .25 mg, but I have read about other people who don't lose until the full dose.

Congratulations OP. That’s awesome.

I’m wondering about other positive outcomes. My friend on it says that her morning serious body aches are gone and they disappeared before she lost any real weight. Same with her rosacea (which I see visibly—the difference is very noticeable). I feel like there is obviously something systemic going on. She’s lost like 40 lbs. but it’s not just weight.



Likely the reduction/regulation of insulin impacts this (lowers inflammation..rosacea and joints).


I wonder if there is some sort of low level of diabetes that hasn’t been officially classified or identified yet. My friend had normal blood sugar via tests but is reacting as if she was diabetic.

Try Zepbound or compounded Tirzepatide. Studies suggest it works even better than semaglutide.
