Headaches in week 1 — dehydration or the medication?

Three denied claims later, I finally got my Wegovy approved. Here's what changed in the third appeal: my doctor submitted a peer-to-peer review request AND cited the plan's own coverage policy language directly in the appeal. Insurance companies are betting you'll give up. Don't.

Have you tried injecting in the evening? That helped my nausea enormously.

My doctor kept me at 0.5mg for 10 weeks. Slower titration, fewer side effects — worth it.

The sulfur burps are embarrassing but Pepto and Gas-X got me through the worst weeks.

Starting the weight-loss log here because I need accountability. Starting weight: 278 lbs. Goal: 195 lbs. Week 1 on 0.25mg semaglutide. No real side effects yet, just a slightly off stomach on injection day. Will update every Monday.
