I recently moved to the USA and have gained 25+ lbs over the past couple of years (currently 207 lbs). The weight gain has really affected my confidence and mental health, and I also have PCOS. I’m planning to start strength training and lifestyle changes, and I’m looking into Wegovy/GLP-1 medications to support my weight loss journey.
I’m new to the US healthcare system and have my first primary care appointment next month.
Should I bring up Wegovy directly with my PCP?
Can PCPs prescribe it or do they usually refer you to a specialist?
Should I check insurance coverage before or after getting a prescription?

Would appreciate any advice from others who’ve gone through this process. Thank you!

Has anyone recently completed the i-765 form for initial OPT. What are the photo requirements needed? I read there is biometrics requirement for pictures so are they asking for photos at all anymore. Can someone clarify please.
