This video is just a quick tutorial of how I inject wegovy. If you haven't been prescribed the medication, I hope you see how quick and easy it is to inject. If you are a little squeamish with needles, the needle is so tiny and it's literally just a small prick. You got this!!

Girl I did it with you 😂, I was so scared this being my first time but it actually was very easy and no pain at all… thank you for doing this straight forward video. ❤ 2month Update: So i’m now at 1ml for wegovy. In total I’ve lost about 17lb in two months. The .5ml didn’t do much the first two weeks but the 1ml is much more effective. keep in mind that’s with little to almost no exercise if I’m honest. I have a back injury I’ve been trying to heal. So don’t expect a drastic change if you’re not working out. No major side effects for me. I only get nausea when I smell something extremely bad. Some minor stomach cramps every blue moon, and very little breakouts on my face that went away after a week, No constipation issues.

@Greater_Expectations 3 ай бұрын
Ummm I think it depends on where you inject yourself. The thigh isn’t bad… nor is the back of the upper arm. It’s a tiny prick and it doesn’t hurt that much but if you do have pain… it won’t last very long. Also once you get use to injecting yourself, it’ll be your new normal… it’s not bad at all! Honestly, I’ve felt much worse 💉🤗

These are to be subcutaneous injections and you injected into the muscle.Subcutaneous is the fatty layer beneath the skin so I would suggest moving it 3 inches toward the back of your arm or abdomen
@Greater_Expectations 2 ай бұрын
You’re absolutely correct I also inject in the back of my arm and I have also injected the medication in my thigh. There is more comfort when I inject in the back of my arm. I’ve avoided my stomach all together. Thank you for your suggestions!

Quick question why the arm or leg ? When I went to my clinic to pick up mine the doctor said we gonna do stomach only and I was nervous to ask why lol ❤
@Greater_Expectations Ай бұрын
Hi, personally my arm and leg is just preferred. My doctor as well as the official Wegovy website listed the upper arms, stomach and thigh as acceptable injection sites. Also I’m just personally nervous to inject anything into my stomach but it is a recommended injection site. But I’m not sure why your doctor only wants you to inject the medication into your stomach. There are some injection instructions in your Wegovy prescription box and step 2 says “your healthcare provider can help choose the injection site that is best for you .” So perhaps your doctor feels your stomach is the best injection site. I hope this helped!
@anasandval Ай бұрын
Thanks so much I will get the courage to ask her next time because I was so confused why she specifically wanted me to do my stomach as I was only 5 weeks post of my hysterectomy and my stomach incisions were so fresh

Awww I hope your recovery is going well ❤️🩹 that is very interesting and I am super curious to know why as well please ask your doctor… I believe your doctor should be willing to answer and effectively explain any questions you have regarding your medical treatment and all prescribed medications .

I injected my first dose today into my stomach, I didn't see any leakage but I couldn't feel anything. There was a little ring around the injection site. I'm a little concerned that I didn't do it right. How do I know if I did it wrong?
@Greater_Expectations Ай бұрын
Hi, if there is no liquid left in the injection pen then you know it entered into your body especially if there was no leakage and you saw there was liquid prior to the injection. I always have a little ring left on my skin on injection day but it disappears after a while. As a side note always inspect your pen prior to injection to make sure it has liquid and that the fluid is not cloudy. I hope this helps!!
