How fast does wegovy work for weight loss?

My cousin in the US was telling me about this new injection for weight loss called Wegovy and how quickly it worked for her. I'm struggling a lot with my weight after my second baby, and was wondering if anyone has tried it or knows how fast it usually shows results?

Honestly, I panicked so much in my first two weeks because nothing was happening on the scale. But my doctor told me to stay patient, and by week four, the cravings suddenly dropped and the weight started moving. Just give your body some time to adapt, it really works fine once it kicks in.

I kept checking my weight twice a day and reading everything online, which made me so anxious. Actually, it takes a few weeks for the dose to build up, so don't get stressed if you don't see instant results. Hope you start seeing good progress soon, just stick to the plan.

Please make sure you are doing this under a proper specialist's eye and tracking your side effects. I once ignored some weird stomach pains while trying weight loss meds on my own and paid a heavy price in the hospital. Always get a doctor to monitor how your body is reacting to it from day one.

Everyone's metabolism reacts differently to these advanced treatments, so there is no fixed timeline. It is best to consult your endocrinologist to see if your progress is on the right track. Please don't try to speed up the process by changing doses yourself.

My physician explained that Wegovy starts working internally from the first dose by slowing stomach emptying, but visible weight loss usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. It requires gradual dose escalation to avoid nausea. He also emphasized that it must be paired with a calorie deficit to actually see those results.
