How Wegovy Assists in Weight Management

Wegovy mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which plays a role in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. The medication targets specific receptors in the brain, helping reduce hunger signals and increasing the sensation of fullness after meals.

In addition, Wegovy slows the emptying of food from the stomach, which may help prolong satiety and reduce the urge to snack between meals. It also supports improved blood sugar control, particularly beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Fishers, this treatment is offered as part of a broader, medically supervised weight loss plan.

Your Wegovy Journey in Fishers

When you visit our Fishers clinic, your weight loss plan starts with an in-depth consultation. We assess your medical history, current lifestyle habits, and weight loss objectives to determine whether Wegovy is appropriate for your needs.


If you qualify, you’ll begin with a lower dosage to minimize possible side effects. Your provider will guide you through gradually increasing the dose over time. Wegovy is administered once a week using a prefilled pen. The injection is delivered just beneath the skin—typically in your abdomen, upper thigh, or upper arm. We’ll ensure you're comfortable with the process before you begin at home.

Insurance & Cost Information

Some health insurance plans may offer coverage for Wegovy. During your visit, our staff will assist in verifying your benefits and walk you through the prior authorization or approval process if needed. We’re experienced in working with insurers to explore affordable access to care whenever possible.

Wegovy FAQs

How long will I need to take Wegovy?

Wegovy is generally recommended as part of an ongoing weight management program. Treatment length varies, and regular check-ins help assess progress and make dosage adjustments.

What are the side effects I might expect?

Most side effects, such as nausea or upset stomach, tend to diminish as the body adjusts. Gradual dose escalation helps manage these symptoms.

Is Wegovy the same as Ozempic®?

While both drugs contain semaglutide, Wegovy is FDA-approved for weight loss, and Ozempic is indicated for managing blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Dosages and uses differ between the two.

What if I miss a dose?

If your next scheduled dose is more than 48 hours away, you may take the missed dose as soon as possible. Otherwise, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Our team in Fishers will provide guidance on how to manage missed doses effectively.
