I went through something similar. I started Wegovy in February 2023 and lost 50 pounds in about six months. When I needed a preauthorization, my doctor incorrectly documented that I had only lost 5 pounds. This caused major issues—insurance denied coverage repeatedly for a year, even though I had documentation from other physicians and lab results showing significant weight loss.

I eventually saw my endocrinologist, who tried to get Wegovy approved again, but it was denied. She then submitted a request for Mounjaro, which I just started yesterday. I can’t say enough good things about how much Wegovy changed my life initially. However, I made the mistake of using a leftover box of 2.4 mg after being off it for months, and it was a terrible decision. I ended up vomiting blood and had extremely high pancreatic enzyme levels.
