Using Semaglutide Injection (Wegovy).
Semaglutide is a medication that has shown remarkable benefits for weight loss. The drug mimics the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). When taken as a weight loss therapy, semaglutide reduces appetite, regulates blood sugar levels, and increases feelings of fullness. This multifaceted approach aids in calorie restriction and healthier eating habits. The benefits of semaglutide for weight loss are significant, with clinical trials demonstrating substantial reductions in body weight, making it a valuable option for individuals struggling with obesity. By facilitating sustained weight loss, semaglutide improves physical health, enhancing overall well-being and reducing the risk of obesity-related comorbidities, such as heart disease and diabetes.

Often, semaglutide is NOT covered by health insurance (No weight loss medications are covered under MassHealth). The out-of-pocket cost of Wegovy is around $1300/month.

Semaglutide for weight loss is typically recommended for adults who are overweight or obese with at least one obesity-related comorbidity (such as diabetes or high blood pressure) and have not had success with diet and exercise alone.
The weight loss potential of semaglutide has been demonstrated in clinical trials. In tests, many participants experienced weight reductions of 10% or more by reducing their calorie intake and increasing their physical activity levels.
Common side effects of semaglutide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These side effects often subside over time as the body adjusts to the medication.
The duration of semaglutide treatment for weight loss varies from person to person and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Sometimes, it may be recommended to achieve and maintain the desired weight loss for several months.
It’s essential to follow your healthcare provider’s guidance when discontinuing semaglutide. The abrupt discontinuation of the medication can result in weight regain, so it’s typically recommended to gradually taper off while continuing to maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise.
Semaglutide can be a valuable tool for weight loss, but its long-term effectiveness depends on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise. For long-term weight loss maintenance over time, you need to work closely with your healthcare provider to devise a sustainable plan for maintaining your weight loss results over time.
