Wegovy Best Injection Sites

[@brittneygiovannelli4276]

Great video! Clear and to the point. Thank you for the information.

[@NursingBizness]

Anytime! 🤩

I also want to know the fastest absorption site. You mentioned the thigh is slower to absorb, but you don't mention where it is quickest to absorb.

[@alanadee1207]

I did my first dose yesterday. I did it in the front of my thigh like the instructions mentioned. The only thing is I didn't have skin to pinch, so I just stuck it in like an Epi pen shot. The yellow line worked correctly and I heard a click and there was no liquid leaking. I hope I did it correctly because I don't feel a thing.
Also, I would've used my stomach, but it mentions not to use it on stretch marks or scars. My stomach is covered in stretch marks. Any tips? Ideas? Do you think I did it correctly? Thank you in advance.

i’m trying to do my thigh too, but i have more muscle than fat. did it seem to work okay?

[@theresawest5488]

great info

[@allierod1366]

Awesome! I think I did it wrong today. For my second time with this pen, I put the needle a little bit up.

[@NursingBizness]

Oh no! You are going to master it the next time - I have faith in you! 🙂

[@allierod1366]

Thanks 😊

[@watermage4477]

does it have to turn yellow? I heard two clicks in mine but the liquid stays clear...

[@bratt485]

What if I injected on the saddle section of my thigh?

[@mm1018.]

When doing injections in either area do we keep the skin pinched during the entire injection process?

[@NursingBizness]

It is preferred to make sure that your needle stays under your skin.

What’s the fastest absorption site

thank you

[@jamieb465]

Thanks for saying pinch the skin, did not work properly and now was told never to do this!

[@desireegoodner5856]

I’ve done 2 injections and after each injection I have the Wegovy medication drip down from the injection site. The last injection I counted to 10 after the injection stop just to ensure the medication would not do it. The first injection was done on my belly, second I did on the thigh. I’m I doing something incorrectly?

[@NursingBizness]

Have you tried another injection site or made sure that the pen is completely flat up against your skin before injecting?

[@mteokay1246]

I Push pen in and hold it there steady & strong ... and after the 2nd click i count slowly up to 20. No drip whatsoever.

[@lindsaysmith4486]

@@mteokay1246 don't pinch the skin. I tried that initially because in nursing school that's what we are taught to do with regular needles but this is a spring loaded needle and doesn't work well with pinching the skin. Best site for be has been the thigh as shown in this video but DON'T pinch the skin. Just press down in a swift, firm motion and it'll be fine! If you do the abdomen, try tensing your muscles first to firm up the area

[@lindsaysmith4486]

Would love to see an update on how you are injecting even if it's the same!

[@mteokay1246]

@@lindsaysmith4486 where did i say i pinch the skin ? 🥴🙄

[@Harleyrider1976]

I read that you’re not supposed to inject where you have stretch marks? Is this true?

[@BriBriBudgets]

Yes it is true. Just find a spot around them.

[@anishapayne841]

@@BriBriBudgetswhat is u have stretch marks everywhere

[@BriBriBudgets]

@@anishapayne841 do your best to avoid the scarred areas. I do it in my thigh now which has less stretch marks.

[@remedy2075]

How come i received the pen with 4 doses and separate needles? I want spring loaded, less traumatising

[@2percent153]

I don't want Wegovy face.

[@danielel1874]

What does that mean?
I've never heard of such a thing.

[@johnshell2480]

I want it!
