Opinions on Ozempic/Wegovi?

Wegovy is semaglutide and my Internist put me on Rybelsus which is semaglutide in pill form. (And my insurance pays for it whereas the Wegovy injections it will not). I have had success with weight loss with this. As far as side effects, a bit of gas and at first a negligible amount of nausea yet for me the benefits outweigh a little stomach discomfort.

Also, Ozempic takes away your appe9and I'm diabetic. You have to really force yourself to eat, at least I do and I'm diabetic

I am on Ozempic for Diabetic. I have lost about 15 pounds so far, but I was really sick for the 1st 2 months, diarhea, throwing up. It states it in the insert that it comes in. I'm balanced out now, but you can expect it.

I was on Ozempic for 3 months and loved it. But then my insurance decided I didn't need it.

I am going to check it out

Well I just googled it and it seems I can't take it because I have a bad thyroid 😥

The newest weight loss FDA approved injectable drug.

I have no clue as to what it is but I am more interested in knowing what it is used for.
