I'm thinking of switching from orlistat to wegovy

to lose weight. I’m at a normal weight (BMI 22- 57kg/160cm) but I would like to lose more. Orlistat landed me in the emergency room over lethargy and severe abdominal pain. So I was thinking maybe I should try wegovy, as suggested by my doctor. I eat very little but I gain weight because of antipsychotics and hypothyroidism. So I was planning on asking my doctor this week because I’m also prediabetic from the medications as well. How was your experience with wegovy, if you have tried the medication/injection?

If you are not grossly overweight or obese then you should not go on Wegovy

Maybe my doctor is concerned about my prediabetic part. My blood sugar is 100.

I’m going to talk to my doctor soon about wegovy, but I lost a little bit of weight on orlistat so there might be a chance that my doctor will say no. What she said was 2 months ago when I was overweight.
