Wegovy®, a transformative approach to sustainable weight loss
- Lose up to 15% of your body weight*
- FDA-approved for weight loss
- Aids in helping you feel fuller, longer1
*In a 68-week placebo-controlled study of 1,961 obese and overweight non-diabetic adults with weight-related conditions, the treatment group receiving semaglutide experienced a mean body weight loss of 15%, compared to 2% of the placebo group. Both groups followed a reduced-calorie diet, increased physical activity, and monthly nutritional counseling. The trial was overseen and sponsored by Novo Nordisk.
Common questions about Wegovy®
What is Wegovy®?
Wegovy®, a brand name for semaglutide, is an injectable drug that mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate appetite and food intake. Wegovy® helps individuals lose weight and keep it off and can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight. Wegovy® works when used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How fast and how much can you lose weight when on Wegovy®?
The rate of weight loss and the amount varies depending on your starting weight, adherence to the program, and specific medications used. GLP-1 medications have been shown to, on average, help individuals lose 15% of their weight in a year.2
How do weight loss injections work?
Weight loss injections, such as those containing GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These injections slow gastric emptying and increase feelings of fullness, leading to weight loss.

FAQs
How does the Lemonaid Health Weight Loss service work?
You will first complete a detailed intake process which allows us to gather information about your health history, health concerns, medications, and more. After completing the intake process, a Lemonaid Health affiliated healthcare provider will review and conduct a consultation to determine if a weight loss treatment is appropriate for you. If suitable, your provider will discuss medication options and recommend a personalized treatment plan. Typically, treatment begins with a lower dose to minimize side effects, gradually increasing over time until achieving a maintenance dosage. If a Lemonaid Health affiliated healthcare provider determines that weight loss treatment is appropriate for you, the provider will establish the appropriate dosing schedule for you.
As you increase your dosage you will have check-ins with a Lemonaid Health affiliated provider to discuss the appropriateness of a dosage change. Once you reach a maintenance dosage, you will have regular interval check-ins to discuss your treatment and the appropriateness of new prescriptions.
Do you accept insurance?
Our weight loss offering is cash-pay only, so you’ll need to pay out of pocket. Lemonaid Health cannot accept insurance for membership fees, medication costs, or medical fees.
