Patient story
Our summary
In this update from the channel Keep Up With Koi, Koi says she has reached 12 weeks on the Wegovy pill and is currently on the 9 mg dose. At the weigh-in she reports 264.8 lb, down from 268.8 lb the previous week and from a starting weight of 282.8 lb, a total of 18 lb lost.

What else the video covers
Koi walks through her dose history. She started on January 21st at 1.5 mg for one month, then moved to 4 mg, which she took for almost 5 weeks. She says she felt no effect and lost no weight for roughly the first 2 and a half weeks, then her appetite faded and weight began to come off in the third and fourth weeks. At each new dose she had a couple of days of nausea, and headaches at the first two doses, and she mentions some constipation on 4 mg that she says she managed. She moved to 9 mg when her cravings and appetite started returning, and she plans to discuss 25 mg with her doctor in a telehealth visit. She prefers a pill to weekly injections.
The second half covers her background and mindset. She gives her highest weight as 307 lb and says it rose during stressful years and after she began travel nursing in 2018. She describes trying phentermine, meal shakes and compounded semaglutide before asking her doctor for help in January. She closes by saying a shift in how she thinks about food at work events, celebrations and travel is what feels different this time.

- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
- Wegovy side effects, and why the top of the ladder is different
Wegovy's side effects are semaglutide's side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation, worst in the first weeks and after each dose increase. What makes Wegovy different from Ozempic is not the molecule but the destination. Wegovy is dosed for weight management, climbing to 2.4 mg with a 7.2 mg high-dose strength above it, and dose is the main driver of how pronounced the gastrointestinal effects get. It also carries a boxed warning for thyroid C-cell tumour risk. One useful fact while you decide whether to push through: Novo's self-pay price is flat across every pen dose, so a slower climb costs a brand patient nothing.
- Wegovy 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD): what the higher dose adds, and what it costs
Wegovy HD is semaglutide at 7.2 mg, three times the standard 2.4 mg dose, in its own pen. In the STEP UP trial it took 18.7% off body weight at 72 weeks against 15.6% for 2.4 mg and 3.9% for placebo, in 1,407 adults with obesity. That puts it within 1.5 points of tirzepatide's head-to-head result and makes it the strongest semaglutide there is. Novo sells it direct for $399 a month, $50 above the standard pen, and it sits above the normal ladder rather than replacing it.
