What’s y’all’s take on the Wegovy pills? I know they assume they the same risks of thyroid cancer and such but I have to admit I have a Wegovy sample in my fridge I have been scared to do because of it being the shot more-so than the other things. Has anyone heard from someone who has taken them?

It’s essentially a higher dose Rybelsus. I don’t personally know anyone taking the oral version because it’s a daily commitment vs weekly but I imagine if a person doesn’t have access to refrigeration or like injections, this would be the best way to go. I guess the real question is how this affects our specific population since it relies on absorption in the digestive tract.

Good luck!

Aha. I never even thought about that. I guess it’s most likely a case by case on that since all of our surgeries are just a tad different even if they only have a few names for them. Like I was a SADI revision but they didn’t touch my stomach this time since my sleeve was still in pretty good shape. I assume I absorb things differently than a revision that has a tiny tummy again. I think I’m going to ask my bariatric doc about this. I want to at least list the 15-20 I gained back during this past year with my treatment but I still had a bit more I would like to lose if I can. I just don’t want to be on any pills my whole life so if that’s the only way to sustain it I will just have to love the skin I’m in. I am still much happier than I was so it won’t be the end of the world.

Following - just got on oral compound wegovy from Hers. Haven't received the medication yet. I would rather take pills because I am scared of injecting myself lol. I already take daily pills too so I don't mind adding it in. Wondering what the side effects and efficacy are for someone with the bypass. I got very strict instructions to take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with no more than 4 oz of water.
