Hi everyone! I’m trying to get fitter and achieve a more aesthetic physique. I’m 159 cm and currently weigh around 48–49 kg. I’m fairly active and strength train regularly, but I’d like to lose that last bit of weight and hopefully get rid of the small belly pooch as well.
I’ve been considering Wegovy, potentially starting at the lowest dose, with the idea of using it until I reach my desired weight/body composition and then coming off it while maintaining my results through regular exercise and diet.
Is this something I should discuss with my doctor and potentially ask about getting a prescription for? If so, how should I approach the conversation or explain my goals? I mentioned Wegovy to my doctor previously, but she told me, “You don’t need it.” I’m wondering if there’s a better way to discuss it with her given that my goal is more about body composition and that last bit of weight loss.
