6 months on semaglutide โ€” my honest review [with stats] ๐Ÿ“Š
โ–ฒ 4.2k โ€ข 847 comments โ€ข Share

I've been lurking this sub for a while before starting and wanted to finally share my full experience after 6 months. Buckle up, this is a long one ๐Ÿ˜…

๐Ÿ“Š My 6-Month Stats
Starting weight247 lbsโ†’ 189 lbs
BMI38.2โ†’ 29.1
A1C6.8%โ†’ 5.4%
Monthly cost--$150/mo

I tried literally everything before this โ€” keto for a year, ozempic through my regular doc (they wanted $1,200/month ๐Ÿ˜ญ), two different diet coaches. Nothing stuck.

My friend mentioned MedV. I was skeptical โ€” $150/month sounded too good to be true vs $1,200+ everywhere else. But they use compounded semaglutide, same active ingredient, licensed doctors review everything.

First 2 weeks: honestly felt weird, mild nausea. Week 3 onward? The food noise just... stopped. I can't explain it better than that. I wasn't thinking about food constantly anymore.

At 6 months I'm down 58 lbs. My doctor at my annual visit literally said "whatever you're doing, keep doing it."

Happy to answer any questions. The cost thing was what made me wait so long and I don't want that stopping other people.

This is exactly what I needed to see. I've been sitting on the fence because the price at my pharmacy is insane. Did you have any issues with MedV's doctors being legit?

Totally legit โ€” I had a video consultation with the doc before they approved anything. They reviewed my bloodwork and health history. It's telehealth but they actually do the work.

58 lbs in 6 months is incredible. The food noise thing is SO real โ€” that's exactly how I describe it to people who haven't tried GLP-1s. Your brain just stops screaming at you 24/7.

Just signed up for MedV after reading this. $150 vs $1,200 is just not comparable. The consultation was quick too โ€” approved same day.
