Hi everyone,

I’m interested in starting Wegovy for weight management, but my BMI isn’t high enough to meet the usual eligibility criteria.

I’m wondering if anyone in the UK has been in a similar situation and can share what options are available. Are there legitimate circumstances where a doctor might prescribe it at a lower BMI, or are there particular private clinics/GPs that are worth speaking to?

I’m not looking to bypass any medical rules, I’d just like to understand what my options are and whether there’s a safe/legal route to discuss it with a clinician.

Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!
