Wegovy Eligibility
Yes, you likely qualify. Wegovy (semaglutide) is FDA-approved for adults with:
- BMI ≥ 30 (obesity) — which fits your situation
- BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition (hypertension, diabetes, etc.)

Important Caveats
- Insurance coverage varies widely — Wegovy is expensive (~$1,300+/month without coverage)
- Shortages have been an ongoing issue
- Some platforms offer compounded semaglutide as a cheaper alternative — ask specifically about this
- A doctor will still review your full health history before prescribing
