WEGOVY: What You Didn’t Know! Endocrinologist Explains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2021
- Let's discuss one of the best weight loss drugs just introduced in the market, Wegovy. You will learn whether Wegovy (semaglutide) is a good weight loss option for you or not. How much weight loss you obtain etc. and more.
Wegovy is the newest weight loss drug that is here to help individuals with obesity. It is being manufactured by Novo Nordisk, one of the most notable Danish pharmaceutical companies. This weight loss drug specifically aims to assist in chronic weight management of adults with obesity or overweight individuals with weight-related comorbidities like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. This medication helps hasten the weight loss accompanied by the proper diet and physical activity. In a way, Wegovy is similar to Ozempic and Rybelsus but also different.
The active ingredient in Wegovy is semaglutide. Same ingredient used in Ozempic and Rybelsus. This weight-loss medicine is a known GLP-1 agonist, and its mechanism of action centers on mimicking GLP-1, a hormone produced in the body. Approximately, Wegovy has a 94% similarity with GLP-1.
Wegovy acts on several sites in the body, and one of the main targets is the pancreas. Wegovy induces the pancreas to release increased insulin levels to help improve the glucose uptake in the body.
Wegovy also acts on the receptors in the brain, specifically the hypothalamus and brainstem. This action leads to suppression of appetite that will cause you to eat a lesser amount of food than usual. This hormone also acts on the gastrointestinal tract by decreasing acid secretion and slowing food movement during digestion.
The weight loss resulting from the intake of Wegovy is by the mechanism of reducing the hunger felt by the user and increasing the sensation of fullness. Therefore, users tend to eat lesser amounts of foods and reduce their calorie intake. Of course, for this weight loss drug to be effective, the user should also follow proper physical activity and diet.
What Can Wegovy Do in Chronic Weight Management?
After the FDA's approval of this weight loss drug, the management of obesity has been changed. The use of Wegovy opens up a new avenue for improved techniques and strategies in dealing with obesity and other overweight conditions.

My doctor started me on TRICITY once a week shot..
@@skyeblue5669 me too and I didn’t feel a difference
😊
What about hypertensive retinopathy? I have that and I was prescribed monjaro to lose weight and get my A1C down.
@@skyeblue5669 on
i have been on this for 6 weeks an was 248 when i started and now down to 225 i love it. minimal side effects. couldn’t be happier.
Did you work out or just kept doing the regular
I've been on ozempic since the end of May 2021. I've lost 33.3lbs in the last 11 weeks. My biggest side effect is burping especially if I've eaten too much. The biggest change for me is that I no longer eat after supper and my cravings have disappeared.
Congratulations!
I have been on the med for 18 weeks: 30 lb down. I have noticed at about 15 week the appetite suppression effect in the evening seems to be waning. Otherwise feeling well on it. Boosted to .05 dose.
Continued success!
Was on ozempic for 5 weeks dropped 40 pounds my friends thought I had cancer, couldn't eat every time the wife cooked food the food stunk. went off it and after 2 weeks started feeling better. I was one of the unfortunate ones that had severe side effects. 3 weeks on rybelsus now so far so good.
I was on ozempic for a yr and I didn’t experience the weight loss as most. However it def helped with controlling my levels
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈, I’m taking Ozempic as well my Endocrinologist prescribed it for me, I’m excited to see positive results
That is amazing.
I have been on Semaglutide +BPC 157 for 7 months. I have lost 41 pounds (18% of my body weight). My A1C has dropped from 6.2 to 5.7. I have 30 pounds to go to reach my goal weight. I am thrilled beyond words.
Started WeGovy a week ago. I've already lost 10 pounds. I am morbidly obese, I weighed in at 366 at my physical and it was the highest I ever saw on a scale, I knew I had to do something. My doctor recommended WeGovy, I was skeptical at first, but after my insurance covered it, I just knew I had to do it. My second dose is on Thursday, so far my only side effect has been headaches. I definitely feel fuller. The way I put it, I'm mentally hungry, but not physically hungry. I don't have to eat, or feel like I have to eat. In fact, I have to make sure I eat during the day. Let's hope this continues!
How did you get your Insurance to cover it?
How are you now? A year later, do you have an update?
What a great way of expressing that, “mentally hungry not physically hungry”!! I am feeling the same, I have to talk myself out of eating after dinner, I’m not really hungry it’s just boredom and habit. I have less to lose but I have lost 10 in one month. Good luck with this journey!
Don’t give up. You got this.
@peter update please!!
Thank you for this video. This is the only video that shows how to use it from the start to finish. The humor is a bonus it takes the anxiety out of doing it yourself. It is nice to see another side of a medical professional that uses humor. Nice touch!!!
Thank you for watching.
I wish there was better support in my area for diabetics. The nearest endocrinologist is over 2 hours away. You have helped more with my education about my type 2 than my GP has, by far. Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you for posting this video. It was a big part of what steered me toward asking my Dr about Wegovy. I took my 10th injection on Monday and as of today I've lost almost 36lbs. Documenting my journey on RUclips has been a huge motivator as well... just so grateful for this drug and wanted to say thanks to you for your part in getting me here.
Congratulations to you! Can we get an update?
I started taking Wegovy about 8 months ago. So far, I've lost 35 pounds and will continue until I lose another 20. I cut back on carbs and eat massive amounts of fruit. (Snacking was my enemy.) I also bike about three times a week but not too strenuously. My blood pressure has dropped. My back no longer bothers me. I can bend over and clip my toe nails (no longer do I have to raise my foot to do this.) I can also pick up two of my grandkids at the same time. In my case, it has been a combination of Wegovy and willpower.
Once u quit you gain it all back PLUS SOME. My dr and pharmacists told me that.
@@justinterested9537 I stopped and haven't gained anything back because I also changed my eating habits and am more active now.
Thank you . I have lost and kept 125 lbs off but have never reached my goal. I still need to lose 50lbs. I am and remain on the Keto Diet. I need something after 5 faithful years to get the last bit off. I will talk with my Dr. about this drug. Thank you so much!
Ozempic is amazing! I have no words! It’s changed everything for me! I’ve lost 5kgs/11 lbs in a month! I’m no longer snacking every 2 mins. My ALT and blood sugar levels have improved immensely!
Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate you. Please also consider sharing this content on social media.
I have lost about 10 lbs in the last month listening to you.Thank You.
I have been on Ozempic since July 2021. I haven't lost much weight but it has definitely improved my A1C.
Started semaglutide January 16 2023. Felt the effects of the shot .25 within the first couple of hours. Super in tune with my body. My sugar cravings have virtually disappeared. At almost 50, the last six years had been rough physically. I weighed in at 194.8 that first day. This morning I weighed in at 190.4. The side effects I've seen have been overall minimal. I do believe it correlates with what you eat and how much. The goal is eating whole foods as much as possible as I know this is when my body functions best. I've been to the gym a few times for 35 -45 minutes each. The only other time I've felt this good is 20 yrs ago when I went vegan cold turkey. That lasted three years. The weight fell off from 225 to 150 in 6 months. Once I reintroduced processed sugar and high carbs, I was always yo yoing or over exercising. By fall of 2020 i was back up to 216. This is an opportunity to jumpstart my weight loss, but ultimately in order to live whatever time I have left on earth healthier and slimmer, its up to my choices each day.
April 7 2024...15 months later. Grateful that I was able to lose the weight with the assistance of this drug. My body has sustained a weight of 157 - 160. It was slow and steady. In the past, I would have tried to force it to go lower but I realize this is where my body wants to be naturally. It's NOT a miracle drug but it definitely helps with cravings, and the feeling of not being in the diet mentality. I am no longer obsessed with exercise. I walk 15-25 miles a week with some weight training a couple of times a week. I don't eat clean, instead I eat. Some days its processed foods, other days, protein and veggies or fruit. I still practice intermittent fasting. I spent my 30' and earlier to mid 40s obsessed with what I ate. At almost 51 I realize it was damaging to my mental and emotional health. Life is truly a journey:)
Vegan cold turkey...hehehe😆
I've been fasting for lent and I have been struggling with sugar craving, overcompensating with food, even when I'm not hungry, so I'm glad to hear that it curves sugar cravings
No it’s a chronic disease. Why would you come off a drug that is needed for your body. Would you ask a diabetic to stop taking insulin or ozempic? Obesity is a chronic disease,
M❤❤❤gm
This is what I’m going through right now I’ve been a vegan for 2 years went from 250 to 180 now I’m gaining it all back 😢 I’m going to start wegovy I’m just waiting on approval for my insurance
I love this video. Your presentation style is so funny but also informative. I'm binging your videos!
Thanks Doc. These drugs are making a huge difference in our patients lives. So glad more insurances are covering them 🙏🏿
You did a very good job explaining this. Thanks.
I just got my first month supply. I will start tomorrow. thank you doc. I love your channel.
Update?
I really appreciate all of your posts. Thank you.
You are very welcome. Please share on social media
Thank you so much doctor for giving us all this new information 🙏🏽from UK 🇬🇧
Started 6 weeks ago - 50 y/o, peri-menopausal, have an injury that prevents me from working out. Started at 205 and am down to 187 - 18 lbs!! Goal weight is in the 160's. Nausea is definitely a side effect.
Take dramine for nausea
I smoke weed for nausea it def helps 😉
My doctor started me on ozempic. I’m a little overweight but I’m type 2 and metformin was starting to bother my stomach. It really has helped me this first weight. My sugar is good and NO hunger pains!!!!! I can’t wait till my next dose.
Great video. I just started wegovy and I wanted to let you know that Kansas Medicaid (Kancare) will cover wegovy is your bmi is >30. There is a special weight loss drug prior approval form.
Great video as always. I am glad I found your channel.
I am low end pre diabetic, post menopause, over weight and was put on Ozympic. It totally changed my relationship with food. It’s helping me to change the way I eat and why. I don’t feel food desperation. I’m okay with being hungry. I don’t get hangry. It has leveled my sugar cravings. I’ve lost 15 pounds, but have slowed the loss. But feel much better.
I had nausea my first couple weeks. I ate a heavy meal one night after taking the shot and vomited. But I no longer have issues beyond heartburn some nights.
I first tried Trulicity and started having allergic reaction (closing of my throat) that got worse after every shot. Switched to ozympic and tolerate it well.
A lot of people develop allergy to Trulicity in my practice as well. Ozempic is for sure does better
Was this suggested to you because of prediabetes or for weight loss or for both?
@@TheStrawberry9936 both. I bought a sugar monitor and monitored my sugar for a month and I had several glucose levels above 200. But my A1C was only 6.5. Basically, waiting for me to be a full diabetic. I also monitored my diet and I just don’t eat too much. I have other endocrine issues and it was a cascade in the making. I am also a long hauler of covid. This product protects the heart.
@@JanakiBananaki thank you for sharing your experience. I am riding the same boat with you and have only been on this med for less than a week but already the difference in satiety is unbelievable. Drinking the water my program requires and this meds has changed my life already. So glad they've found this, I was unable to do this on my own at this point.
How much did you lose the first month?😊
I have been on Ozempic for three months and have lost 34 pounds. It took away my cravings. I feel full all the time.
Wow! That is great! Does Ozempic affect your sleep? I'm always worried about that side effect.
@@cindym7234 I only had the normal side effect of light nausea. They didn't last too long.
What dose? I'm on the lowest dose currently.
@@faithhudson9682 I am on .5
Still on the starting dose, and yes I don’t eat much now--I’m nauseous ALL the time on this stuff. But not giving up, even on training dose my morning blood sugar is lower.
No one really speaks about this drug like this so I appreciate it. I’d love it if you looked at the studies regarding inflammation and semaglutide that are in trial right now. I have not had much change in appetite. But I have had severe gastric pain for years from autoimmune gastritis (diagnosed via biopsy) and no drugs have helped but after being on wegovy for months I no longer have intestinal pain and a recent endoscopy came back with less inflammation. I went off it for 5 weeks and it returned by week 4. Same with the skin ulcer like rashes which are gone. I have also been able to eat more while on prednisone and not gain. I was down below 1000 calories a day not to gain and having severe gastric issues. I have been able to sustain a 1.800 a day diet Whole Foods like I was before and have lost 80lbs since July. I had fast loss which I just attribute to major water retention loss as I’m no longer swollen while taking prednisone. But I only lose 1 sometimes 2lbs a week of fat. I couldn’t care less if I stopped losing because I’ve been pain free and feel ok.
Great explanation - I have my Wegovy prescription pending approval from my insurance. I have struggled with my weight for years after 2 years being on high dosage Prednisone for Kidney disease. Ever since I have struggled with my weight. A few years ago I did great with weight loss challenges at my gym and got down to 200lbs and then I had the boss from hell who made my life miserable and 2 MIs and COVID. Suffice to say the pounds packed on again. Looking forward to this opportunity to lose the weight and keep it off.
How are you doing
I just stumbled onto you this evening and find you to be informative,, knowledgable and entertaining. Thanks for your straight forward approach to this complex issue. You keep it interesting while explaining things clearly in terms that are understandable! Thanks !!!
Thank you for watching. Stay tune for more videos. If you like this video, you may find this playlist helpful too:

I started 4 weeks ago
Lost 15 pounds
Just upped my dose and I think I hit a nerve in my leg, as it hurts now for 2 days. But over all almost no side effects, totally has turned my cravings for food upside down. Love it so far
Ok, I’m not diabetic but your info is super useful! Im on tirzepitide and I want to learn how to deal with hormones and new eating habits. Thank you for the info!
Most information is your channel. Ty for doing this
Thank you for another informative and comprehensive video. The quiz was fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@SugarMDs how would this work for someone with pcos
I finally committed to asking to get an insurance PA for this today. I’m 43 and have been jumping between 240-320lbs for over a decade. I went though fad diets, went through big cycles where I could make fitness and diet management a cornerstone of my daily routine. But job and home demands increased spiking up to 335 and the best I’ve been able to do was to slowly loose about 1-2 lbs a month for the last 6 months. Plus the weight is compounding joint damage issues, sleep issues, back issues, blood pressure problems, etc. so my hope if that with my normal routine seeing a slow loss, this will help accelerate my loss and hopefully create that feedback cycle of more energy and overall wellness when you have less weight on your body. I’m hesitant on doing gastric surgery, and no one in 700 miles does any of the more modern procedures like the gastric balloon or the like.
Hopefully it works well and helps me superboost the work I am doing.
Good luck to you, sir.
Thank you for this video. I just started today on the generic form from a compound pharmacy. I was concern about the side effects. So far just with in the first 30 minutes i feel dizzy/headache so that isn't too bad. I really appreciate the educational video! I am planning to use this as a step towards getting the gastric sleeve
I get mine from a compound pharmacy through the functional medicine doctor. I just had my 13th shot. Lost 17 pounds so far.
Mine is dosage in units. Start from 15 units and go up towards 100.
I am at 55 units now.
Go slow up.
I have been on Ozempic for 5 months now, and have lost around 14kg! I still need to lose an extra 14-15kg though, so I'm still on the medication
Took Saxsenda for about a month, lost 14lbs during that time. Now started Wegovy in it’s place since it’s widely available. Hope to keep going down. 6’1” Male 346lbs at Saxsenda start 332lbs at end and beginning Wegovy. No hunger from Saxsenda, and didn’t have side effects outside of anxiousness about taking meds which has always been a thing for me I just don’t like them.
4:39
I absolutely love this video. This drug is now available thru the MOVE program at the Department of Veteran Affairs. I’m intrigued.
I started Wegovy in June '22. I have lost 66 of 221 pounds. That's right! I am type 2 diabetic. But my sugars have been phenomenal for the past 3 months or so. My dad told me that I looked like I did in college (I am 55 yo female). I have experienced vomiting and nausea as my only side effects. My recommendation is to pair your weight loss journey with something like Noom or Calibrate so that you are learning healthy new lessons in eating, and taking care of your mental health and some of the underlying reasons you might have been a weight gainer. The amount of progress you see with your own eyes is amazing and will help jump start you into wanting to change so that you can successfully keep the weight off after you stop the medication. (I am a regular person, with no medical credentials whatsoever.)
Thank you for sharing. Appreciate it!
Why didn't you take Ozempic then?
Right on!!!! Any side effects?
🎉
Are u still diabetic? Can you post your recent A1c please. Did the diabetes go away
Thank you for the professional information.
Thank you Doc for informing us with this awesome knowledge. It seems like a pretty strong drug to lose a bunch of weight.
Thank you. Your information is excellent, and delivered in an understandable manner. You are funny too, which is an added bonus. :)
Thanks Thanks! I am happy you are doing this video
I just started Ozempic today. Actually, I think because I’m a diabetic, I started feeling good in about 10-20 minutes. Only took me a week to be brave enough to stick myself. 🙄 and, easier than a finger stick.
I tried Wegovy 7 days ago. I guess I'm one of the few that can't take. I lost 11lbs in 6 days. Due to not being able to keep food and water down.. It has been coming out of both ends. Head hurts and spinning. And I have been sleeping alot . Chicken broth Gatorade and ensure. I couldn't keep done either. On day 7 today I'm finely starting to keep some ensure and electrolytes down. Just my experience.
Thank you 🙏. Some times medication is needed for some people
I bought the stock, NVO. I am very happy.
Me too!
I am a diabetic on Ozempic. The medical effects were excellent from the start, even before reaching the full dosis of 1 mg. Weight loss, Hb1ac went down from 7,5 to 6. Lots of nausea, though.
After six months on 1 mg, the side effects became pretty bad. It started with foully burping and nausea, a few hours later vomiting (no matter if I did eat or not) and then for two days diarrhea of the sort that I needed to have a toilet within easy reach - no shopping, no church, nothing. And such a cycle started every four or five days... A lowering of the dose did improve the debilitating diarrhea, but it is a guesstimate to inject about 0,8 mg - that keeps the side effects to normal burping and evening nausea.
I take it, because it is really effective against diabetes, but I would hesitate to recommend it roundly. It is definitely a potent drug with side effects that can prevent a normal life, even though they are not actually dangerous.
Thank you for your feedback with Ozempic.
My 60 yr old sister started Wegovy in March, she has lost 40 lbs so far. She has has nausea and watches what she eats. 30 lbs to go. I lost 25 lbs in 6 mos with intermittent fasting. As long as you find something that works it's another option .
Keep up the good work Doc! ☺️
Wow appreciate your info!👍👍👍👍👍 Your the best.
I appreciate that!
Thank you again for the information!!

most excellent content SugarMD. I shattered the thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the fantastic work.
Big thanks
@@SugarMDs hi doctor. Is ozempic better for weight loss than metformin? Is injection better than taking a pill?
I would like to query you regarding patients who are taking Thyroxine medication.
This is the drug name medication here in Australia.
My concerns are the side effects of both Wegovy and Ozempic such as vomiting and diarrhoea can interfere with thyroxine absorption.
As an Endocrinologist I would ask you what your professional opinion is please.
You are adorable and Love your Humor.
❤️ Thank you I am trying Ozempic first🙂

Fantastic results so far BUT I was just informed by my Dr. that the manufacturer does not have any stock of the second dose (.5mg) in stock and it won't be available until sometime after the 1st of the year! Sucks because this seems to work well.
The manufacturer has been behind. However, I did receive my .5 today. So happy I'm not having to wait any longer for it.
What is most frustrating, diabetic meds that truly work, is not in reach financially! Very sad! Thank you!
You are right, I heard that the manufacturing company is giving away this drug for $25 dollars a month for 6 months if you have commercial insurance.
@@SugarMDs do you see patients via video/webmd
Zealthy is another option if you can $151 monthly that’s like food or a gym membership I’d rather take the medicine over not losing weight
Doc just upped my does from .25 to .50. I was nauseous and here came the diarrhea so bad just water. Seems like it's getting better as of today. I have no appetite at all. I don't really enjoy food as much. Don't think I would want to stay on this for ever. So learning new habits. I've lost 13 pounds so far
What if you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and nodules on your Thyroid? Can you still take it?
I am a long distance swimmer¹( I always wondered about Diabetic 2 's being sedimentary, I wasn't ever) I have lost weight counting calories and using the Weight loss app. Lose-it $30. per year. It wasn't until my good friend died of kidney failure and I was diagnosed with fatty liver that I have been able to loose weight. My A1C is 8.3 and I went down 20+ pounds. I have been insulin dependent since 2005 and terrible affraid of the orals, their side affects. It is the fatty liver that motivates me. I can understand the threat of fatty liver, not obesity in Diabetes. I thought my dr. was into weightism, I am serious. This drug Wegovy scares me, frankly every drug does. Thanks for your input and caring.
When u are 56 its real hard to drop weight. High blood pressure and being big this has helped me to drop 25 plus pounds. Now I work out and have changed my diet. It does help u to get jump start. It's not the answer it's guide to help u get started.
I am so desperate to get this, something has to give. My BMI is 33, I'm 5'11, 50 years old, pre-diabetic, perimenopausal, weight train 2x week, cardio 2x. But I admit being stressed all the time with motherhood, marriage and work and caring for aging parents. My weakness and downfall are my cravings especially post-workout and late eating as I wait until kids are in bed. I've gone keto but stopped.
I'd love this Jumpstart because I believe my exercise and eating foundation are there, just need that boost.
You can get it from hormone_supplements⬆️⬆️
I just had my 5th injection and down 12 lbs. I am not obese but I am on a histamine blocker and have hypothyroidism making it hard for me to lose weight. I have had minimal side effects. Very tired the day after my Injection and some nausea after the 1st week but now they are almost nonexistent
Hi, is wegovy still available? I have an appointment next Tuesday with my endocrinologist. I hear most insurances don’t cover this medication any more.
I have PCOS and have trouble losing weight. My endocrinologist prescribed me this drug. I took the first dose tonight. Hopefully it will help 🙏
I also have PCOS and this has been amazing for me! Best of luck to you!
@@quantumchrome hows the side effects? Congratulations
@@shellybuttrum2838 the first two weeks I had major nausea and general gastric discomfort. I did find that injecting into my arm and not my stomach was really helpful in reducing side effects. I also use nauzene if I feel like I'm getting nauseous. Usually first thing in the morning is the worst but it's tolerable now compared to when I started. Eating something right away is key. A totally empty stomach equals nausea.
What I love is that my hunger cues have totally changed and I don't feel the need to mindlessly snack anymore. I can eat a small portion and be satisfied. Between ADHD and the PCOS induced insulin resistance, my hunger cues were very very distorted.
@@quantumchrome thanks for following up. I just took my first dose, hopefully i will have good results and not too many side effects. I too gained alot of weight with PCOS and fibroids. I was struggling getting the weight off, especially being 45 yrs old 😥😩. I was using phentermine and lost a decent amount of weight, but the side effects were just intolerable.
How is your progress going Peyton?
Oh, mu gallbladder is also not producing enough biles, but i still have it because i have no stones or anything like that. it also worries me if that might be affected more if i use this medication, any knowledge on that or recommendation?
Great review👍🏻
Great video. I was on Ozempic for 3 months.I couldn't tolerate it at all, I had:
Severe nausea
Vomiting
Constipation
Sleep disturbance
Gas
Depression
I had to stop, not eating was killing me as I was so depressed.
We are now about a year after this video was posted, and the commercials about Wegovy have just started to air here in Canada. The list of side effects is much longer than the ones in the video and comments. I haven't heard or read anyone speaking about depression and suicidal thoughts? Are those new ones?
I’m it overweight but my BMI is 27( have a good amount of muscle on me) I have struggled maintaining the weight I want and as I’ve gotten older it’s harder and harder. Does this target visceral fat? I just need to loose 15 lbs but my metabolism has slowed down significantly. 25%body fat. 33yo male
I was put on Metformin for weight loss and within a day my hunger went through the roof and days later I was so exhausted. I could sleep 8-10 hrs and wake up exhausted. I was like a walking zombie during the day. People actually commented how tired I looked. They took me off of it after 30 days. Any idea why it would cause this? Everyone else I know has had great success.
I am clinically obese, I ran on treadmill, eating 'nothing', and lost 23 pounds in three months, then got Bursitis in both hips. So now walking slower and on a very strict diet. Weight loss stopped after 17 pounds... Sti walking, eating no weight loss, don't wanna go back to running, but... Don't wanna be obese either...
Bad family history of Diabetes II, and atherosclerosis.... Could Wegovy work for me?
I tried Byetta many years ago. I took it for weeks then all of a sudden I broke out in hives. Is this like Byetta? My family dr said he doesn’t know if I could take this because I couldn’t take Byetta. Do you think I could take this? Are the ingredients same as Byetta?
Thanks for the info!
You bet! Remember to take the quiz the win the first chapter of my diabetes book.
love it!!!! Ive been on it for 1 week..already down 8 pounds
Did you workout along with this ?
@@Vee77833 nopemmm just walked
Thank you, you are my new docter!!!😊
Wow, thank you!
How long does Ozempic stay in your system after stopping it?
I just picked my medication up from the pharmacy. Trying to figure out when I will start. 🤷🏽♀️
My doctor prescribed for me to help with the weight loss and I have PCOS. I couldn't find any studies with women who have PCOS. Any light on that?
Wonderful, informative video! It's not available where I live but maybe eventually it will be.
Fingers crossed!
Alot of states are starting to cover Wegovy with people on Medicaid. Like 15 states. If not I think it will accept the Ozemba
Does Wegovy deplete vitamins in your body? I am dealing with severe fatigue since I started this medicine January 16, 2023. I also have Hashimoto’s.
I just started Wegovy yesterday. So far i haven't had any side effects. Thank you far making this video. It answered all my questions about it.
How are you dealing with the shots. I’m scared of that.
The way the device is manufactured, you don’t feel the needle - seriously. It’s over really fast!
@@3PRTYGRLRCK3yes it’s true as someone here mentioned, you don’t even feel the shot. It’s the truth I put it in the lower part of my stomach where I have fat and you don’t feel it, and I hate needles more than anything.!!!!! Lol
Hello Dr. Does this cause problems with gallstones? I've always heard that you can get gallstones and or liver problems if you lose weight too fast. I have no gallbladder so can I still take this? Second question, since this is a hormone and I believe made in the hypothalamus and I already have some issues with my hypothalamus for I have CDI central diabetes insipidus, is this safe to take? Since CDI can also cause problems with dehydration does the slowing of digestion with this medication cause any problems with dehydration?
I started taking wegovy the last week of February and went into the hospital for an absess in the perineum on March 3rd. Had to have emergency surgery to remove it, was in the hospital for a week with a wound vac on and was sent home with a portable wound vac. I had that for another 2 weeks. I was off work for a little over 2 months. It could be just dumb luck. Incision is not totally healed so I'm not going to chance it yet. Luckily I had short term disability through Aflac. I have a video or two from the hospital on my RUclips channel.
I took this for 1 month and lost over 6lbs but when my prescription was to be filled after the 1st month they were out of it. The drugstore said it was out everywhere the manufacturer didn’t make enough to keep up. But the only side effect I had was burping and some indigestion. It was a little annoying but I realized it was when I ate greasy or heavy food. So I avoided those when I could. I mean I should anyway right? I can’t wait to get back on it!
Same here cant get the prescription filled to keep going
I received my second month (.5) today. So happy to be back on it!
just 6 in one month???? that sucks
How do y’all get this? My insurance doesn’t cover it :(
@@britneybritney thats what im trying to find out, if insurance covers it or not
@sugarmd will you regain your weight back once you stop taking a drug like mounjaro even if you make the lifestyle changes?
Hi can you combine the wegovy and the obéra? Is it safe to do both?
I've been on Wegovy but haven't lost a ton of weight because I was over-exercising and eating too little, but the past 2 weeks I slowed down on my exercise and the weight has started coming off much quicker.
That's weird...reducing exercise shouldn't help you lose weight it seems?
@@lindsaysmith4486 it makes sense because remember, when we workout a lot your body meeds food. You HAVE to eat more. If you don’t your body thinks you’re starving and will hold on to the weight and fat for survival. ♥️
This Is EXACTLY What I Am Going Through Currently🥺🥺
My doctor didn’t tell me about a diet plan . I am just eating less. I want a diet plan. Any suggestions?
@@robinjohnson2299 I tried keto for a day and it was too restrictive. But I'm enjoying low carb. I can still eat some bread just less of it. And finally broke through a plateau.
can you take this if you have adrenal burnout?
i have hashimotos, fatty liver, and obese 40 lbs. prediabetic. i think this med would be great for me but im vary of it cause of the adrenal problem i already have.
i feel like a truck ran over me and being overweight is making it worse
As to the eye issues, were you speaking of Macular Degeneration?? when you said blood in the ete? I heard you mention retina issues but I'd need to know that before I ask my doctor to consider subscribing this for me.. thank you
My younger sister had a stroke last year. She is very overweight. Do you think this will help her? Of course I will ask her to speak to her doctor about it, but I also don't want to make her current condition worse.
Just started wegovy almost 2 weeks ago. Not sure if I’ve lost any weight. Definately not eating as much but I have a long way to go!
I started Wegovy about 7 weeks & I have not lost any weight. I have actually gain weight. I’m so upset. I’m going to continue, I’m praying once I get to the higher dosages that I will start to loose weight. Anyone have this happen where they gain weight and then start to lose weight being on Wegovy?
Love the info.. Going to look into it more... I have PCOS, thus insulin resistance, would that help or not? Am curious
From what I've read. Yes, it could help.
I’m IR and PCOS and Ir definitely helps.
Hi dr Sugar MD can a prediabetic use it ..I have taken only 4 shots of trulicity but the nausea and vomiting 3 times 4 weeks a s self Injecting is bit overwhelming....so did NOT continue with it .....now canning start this ???
I’ve lost 15lbs. One negative effect I’ve found is not having any stamina when lifting. My reps have cut in half.
Can you take this if you have colitis. I have it under control with xeljanz?
