Patient story
Our summary
In this update, Koi says she has finished two full weeks on the Wegovy 4 mg pills and has no complaints. She describes a little nausea and a mild headache in the first couple of days of that dose, which went away. Her main ongoing concern is constipation, which she links to slower gastric emptying. She says she manages it with Metamucil, plenty of water and 500 mg a day of magnesium oxide, and now has a bowel movement every day to every other day instead of daily.

What else the video covers
Koi reports that her appetite and food noise had been gone until a few days earlier, when her period started and sugar cravings appeared. She gave in with a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch each day and says the craving passed after the bowl. On the weigh-in, she keeps her waist measurement at 44.5 inches, unchanged from March 3rd. Her weight is 272.8 lb, down from 274.8 lb the week before, for a total of 10 lb lost over 6 weeks on the pills. She says the first 2 weeks on the 1.5 mg dose showed no effect, so she counts about 4 weeks of active loss. Her goal is 10 lb per month, aiming for 170 lb to reach a normal BMI at 5'10.
She says her insurance denied the prior authorization without much explanation, and her doctor had said approval was unlikely without a major comorbidity. Koi plans to pay out of pocket. With a savings card, she says the 4 mg dose will cost $149 per month, and the 9 mg and 25 mg doses $299 per month. She also describes her routine of strength training four days a week and cardio four to five days a week on the treadmill and elliptical, following a schedule from her cousin, who is a personal trainer.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- 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.
- Is Hims legit? What its GLP-1 program costs, what reviews say, and its FDA record
Yes. Hims & Hers is a real, licensed telehealth company, and as of October 2026 its weight-loss program sells FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s: the Wegovy pill starts at $149 a month for the medication, plus a membership of $39 for the first month and $149 a month after, so about $298 a month from month two. It scores 2.9 on Trustpilot across 9,517 reviews, and FDA sent it a warning letter in September 2025 over compounded semaglutide marketing claims.
