WEGOVY | First 8 Weeks, Side Effects, Did I Lose Any Weight?!?
Our summary
JalishaVee, a creator who says she is 30 and has been overweight her whole life, reviews her first two months on Wegovy. She says she chose a telehealth doctor through Plushcare because she has moved around a lot and, in Memphis, she was told appointments with regular doctors take months. She says she wanted Mounjaro at first, but her Blue Cross Blue Shield federal employee insurance did not cover most of it, and she does not have diabetes. She adds that weight loss surgery is still something she may consider.

What else the video covers
On side effects, she says she started at 0.25 and moved to 0.5, and that hers have been mild: an occasional headache or nausea if she does not eat. Her biggest problem is constipation, which she calls the worst part of the medication. She says she is not normally constipated, that fiber and laxatives have not helped, and that a week or more can pass without a bowel movement. She asks viewers for natural remedies.
She describes her main issue as eating too often and too much, which she links to gaining about 20 pounds after moving back to her grandparents' home in Memphis a year earlier, along with far less daily movement than in New York. She says she now has the overeating under control, and her next goals are healthier but sustainable food choices and working out two or three times a week in month three. She reports losing 14 pounds in about seven and a half weeks, which she estimates at 1.5 to 2 pounds a week, and says she is fine with a slower pace if the weight stays off.

- Who qualifies for Wegovy and Zepbound? The BMI rules, the conditions, and what your plan adds
You qualify for Wegovy or Zepbound for weight loss as an adult with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Wegovy also treats adults with heart disease at BMI 27 and up, and a liver disease called MASH; Zepbound also treats sleep apnea at BMI 30 and up. Insurers often ask for more: Aetna's 2026 policy wants BMI 35 and six months in a weight program, and Medicare's Bridge wants BMI 35, or 30 or 27 with specific conditions.
- 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 LifeMD legit for weight loss? The program fee, the drug prices, and the reviews
Yes. As of October 2026 LifeMD is a real telehealth company: affiliated licensed providers prescribe branded GLP-1s such as Wegovy and Zepbound, its pages carry a LegitScript seal, it scores 3.9 on Trustpilot from 4,270 reviews, and FDA's warning-letter database lists no letter to it. The catch is cost. The weight program is $39 for the first month and $149 a month after that. The drug is billed on top: Wegovy pen from $199, Zepbound vial from $299.
