Portal

How much time should I spend on the WeGoTogether^® portal each week?

It’s up to you. There’s a lot you can do on the portal—you can update your measurements, read helpful articles, keep track of your dosing, and more. Log in as often as you like, and as often as you find it helpful.

Why is this article recommended for me?

We suggest articles that may be useful to you based on how long you’ve been taking Wegovy^®. Some topics are more relevant at the beginning of your treatment, and others are more useful later on. Still, we recognize that not everyone needs the same kind of help at the same time. You can always search for any topic that interests you in your Library.

How often should I update my weight and waist measurements on the portal?

We recommend updating your weight and waist stats on the same day that you take Wegovy^®. Consider logging in to your portal each week right after you take your dose. That way you can log your dose and update your stats in the same visit.

What if I forget to log a dose of Wegovy^® in my portal?

We recommend logging every dose in your portal right after you take it. But it’s okay if you don’t. You can log the dose at any time—just make sure you enter the correct date. If you take a dose on a day other than your scheduled dosing day, be sure to enter the day you actually took it.

Taking Wegovy^®

Wegovy^® (semaglutide) injection 2.4 mg, along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, is used to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight and to help adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related medical problems, lose excess body weight and keep the weight off.

See full Indication below.

How fast can I lose weight with Wegovy^®?

Everyone is different. We recommend asking your health care professional about when you may start seeing weight loss.

If my health care professional lowers my dose of Wegovy^® temporarily, what happens with my coaching?

If your health care professional has adjusted your dose, that’s okay. You still have full access to coaching and all the support of WeGoTogether^®. Your Coach is here to provide support related to your lifestyle, habits, and goals, so the two of you can continue meeting and messaging.

Where can I find detailed information about Wegovy^®?
