4worldlovers: At Pound Melters our motto is “keep it real.” We have been helping people lose weight for over 20 years now. We have seen just about everything there is to see when it comes to helping people lose weight. We have helped thousands of people achieve their weight loss goals.

1. Your insurance most likely won’t cover it. Unless you have diabetes and or are on the verge of getting diabetes you won’t be eligible. If you have a BMI of 30 or more you can get a prescription for Wegovy.

2. Ozempic can cost up to $1400 per month or more! Wegovy can cost up to $1800 per month!

3. Ozempic and Wegovy are both GLP-1 Semaglutide. Semaglutide is originally for diabetics. It’s self injected once per week. Ozempic and Wegovy slow down gastric emptying. One of the main side effects is nausea which does subside eventually. Also as soon as you stop taking Ozempic or Wegovy most people regain the weight they had lost right away. These drugs are permanent and must be taken indefinitely to keep the weight off!!
