Question for those that have switched from Wegovy to Zepbound?
I have been on Wegovy since April 2023. I have had good success losing 60 lbs but I have about 30 to go and I have been stuck at the same weight, losing and gaining the same 5 lbs for almost 6 months. While I am happy I am maintaining my loss, I am frustrated that I cannot seem to make more progress to my goal, regardless of the adjustments to my habits I make.
I am thinking about asking my doctor to switch me to Zepbound at my next appointment next month. Is there a lot of problems with insurance making the switch? I have never had issues getting Wegovy approved, and I don’t want to screw anything up. I actually just got approved for another year of Wegovy in December.
I guess I am just asking for those that have switched, was it pretty seamless with insurance or was it a big headache?
EDIT: Zepbound is on my formulary.
