How long do you take wegovy for weight loss?

Hi guys…

I’ve recently started taking Wegovy for weight loss, and I’m curious about how long others have stayed on it. For those who have used Wegovy, how long did you take it before seeing significant results? Did your doctor recommend a specific duration for the treatment?

I’m trying to get a better understanding of what to expect and how to plan my weight loss journey. Any insights or personal experiences will be greatly appreciated.

Hey there, I jumped on the Wegovy train a few months ago for weight loss, and I totally get the “how long?” question. It seems everyone’s experience is a bit different. In my case, I saw some pounds come off after about four weeks, but it wasn’t until a few months in that I felt like I was really making significant progress. My doctor actually mentioned studies showing people losing around 15% of their body weight after a year, which is pretty motivating.

We didn’t talk about a specific end date for my treatment though. She said it depends on how I respond and my personal goals. Talking to your doctor about your expectations is a great way to plan your weight loss journey. They can give you a sense of how long it might take to reach your goals and what to expect along the way. In the meantime, hearing other people’s experiences (like mine) is definitely helpful.

I’ve been on Wegovy for a few months now, and I’ve seen some pretty encouraging results. Personally, it took about 4-6 weeks before I started noticing significant changes in my weight and how I felt overall. My doctor recommended sticking with it for at least 6 months to see the best results, and I can say I’m glad I did. It’s not just about the weight loss but also feeling more energetic and motivated. Everyone’s journey is different, but sticking to the plan and staying consistent has made a big difference for me. Good luck with your journey—I’m rooting for you
