Weight loss
questions?

Weight loss can often feel like you’ve tried everything maybe more than once. Many of us have tried dieting and exercise with no significant results. There are also many reasons why someone might gain weight or struggle to lose weight they previously never had. Fortunately, we have many options for weight loss injections like WeGovy, available at our Alexandria, VA office.

​

What is WeGovy?

​

The FDA has recently approved a new drug called WeGovy which has shown promising results as a weight loss injection and has taken off among celebrities and everyday people. WeGovy (semaglutide) is a prescription drug used with exercise and a low-calorie diet for long-term weight loss in:
 

• Adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity)

• Adults with a BMI of 27 or higher (which is considered overweight) and a health condition that’s related to weight

 

WeGovy helps with long-term weight loss by regulating your body’s appetite and the amount of calories you consume.

​

Are There Side Effects to Weight Loss Injections?

​

Like most drugs, weight loss injections may cause mild or serious side effects depending on the treatment. The lists below describe some of the more common side effects.

 

• bloating or pain in the belly area

• burping

• diarrhea

• dizziness

• gas

• headache

• indigestion, heartburn, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

• fatigue (low energy)

• stomach flu

• vomiting

• constipation

• nausea

 

Mild side effects typically go away within a couple of days. As always, if side effects persist, don’t hesitate to speak to your medical provider. 

​

What is the Cost of Weight Loss Injections like WeGovy?

​

Unfortunately, most weight loss injections like WeGovy aren’t covered by insurance unless related to resolving another health condition like diabetes. The out-of-pocket cost of WeGovy can be $1,500 or more a month. 

 

However, Caravela offers lower cost injections than the brand name WeGovy like generic semaglutide too.
