SheMed

The person on the helpline was very dismissive and didn't take my query seriously. I also find it difficult to communicate with the service. There is no face to face support

SheMed has been life changing for me. It has provided the tools that I have been searching for 40 years to find. I finally feel (almost) ‘normal’ around food and happy to be me. I’ve been part of the founders programme study since Jan 2025 and spent 9months on mounjaro then due to the price rises have been on wegovy ever since. If I could afford mounjaro, I would be back on it tomorrow as it removes all my food noise and cravings or even slight desire for Chocolat and other such things. However, my budget fits wegovy better and I just have to work around that it’s different. I do have to work hard harder and I have only lost 2 kg in the last five months, I do recognise that I am still slowly losing and remind myself that I have not gained weight despite knowing I’m eating more due to the food noise /cravings returning somewhat. I am tall, but I’m delighted to have lost 35 kg overall and I’m now wearing a size 14 or sometimes 16 whereas I was a 22 to 24. The biggest thing for me is my confidence is through the roof, I sleep better, I don’t get anxious about going to places I don’t know because of the risk of having to climb lots of stairs, I can live the life I want to live. The downside, is the video weighs were horrendous each week (I was part of the original study). So demoralising to have to stand there on camera when you can’t see the other. This has been changed recently and now you can do an online check-in thankfully. I’ve not really need it to support but I hear others say it’s a bit hit and miss and some of the email responses that get posted on Facebook are just h...

Supportive staff. Respond quickly to any query

Mostly a very good service, however there were some issues with the initial blood test. The first test didnt work so i had to esit for a second blood kit to be sent which caused a delay in being able to start the medication. I have been on the Wegovy for 6 weeks but so far have not noticed any weight loss

Price went up too much and medicine wasn’t working for me so stopped but hear they have watered down the jabs so why not working

Not brilliant. The Wegovy pens just don’t work for me. I’ve lost next to no weight. I still have “food noise” and when I flag my concerns I feel I’m just advised to keep going each month paying out a lot of money I struggle to afford in the understanding that it will work eventually!!! I’m STILL waiting for that to happen.

I feel like the tiered pricing for founding members is unfair and it really has me looking elsewhere. I was just a month or so shy of being able to join the study because I had to talk to my doctor first. It seems ridiculous that some of us are effectively subsidising the 'founding' members even though we are literally only 1 month behind. Really not impressed.

Great service and on going support I stared on the study last January and continued since to maintain weighloss.

I have found the help and support from SheMed excellent..

I had a protracted start when I signed up with Shemed, as my blood sample got lost and this delayed my start as I had to repeat the blood test. Once it was tested and the results became available the programme was simple and straightforward. I started the programme on Mountjaro and due to logistical measures beyond my control I was forced to switch to Wegovy. The weigh loss slowed down significantly on the latter GLP1 nonetheless it happened albeit very very slowly. I still have a few kilos to lose however I am pleased with the service to date. I would recommend Shemed to anyone interested in a reliable weight loss programme- as your health is your wealth!!
