    My insurance company told me they wouldn't cover it because I'm not diabetic and I was willing to pay the $550 with coupon. They covered it! Only paid $25 copay. So, let your pharmacy run it through your insurance even if they say they won't cover it.
    Not sure why they covered it, but I'm not about to call and ask. I dont question gifts! 😂

      @geneialacole I totally understand your frustration. I'm not sure how my Mounjaro got covered because outside of one weighloss surgery for lifetime, they dont cover anything else ( including meds) for weightloss.

    Have you been rotating your injection sites? I’ve discovered (and a lot of others too) that rotating injection sites actually helps a lot and allows you to stay on doses longer. I’m 6 months in and I’ve been on 7.5 for 3 months. 55lbs lost.

    I agree about changing to healthy habits. But realistically most people will have to be on maintenance doses long term even after reaching goal weight. Because our bodies no longer make those hormones (in the right quantities) on its own.

      Not necessarily. I was on Wegovy for a month last year and lost 27 lbs and didn’t gain any of it back. I’m on zepbound now going into month 3. The thing is you absolutely most eat. ALOT of people are starving them selves on these shots. So of course when they stop taking it the weight is gonna pack on because the body has been deprived. Personally I already lost a ton of weight on my own and already had good eating habits. I think that helped a lot going into this

    Great video! Thanks for that. So you said would you started Zepbound you weighed 285. I’m just wondering how tall you are? I started in March 2024 I weighed 203, I’m 5’6. As of today I weigh 167. And I couldn’t take my medication for two weeks because I had upper and lower eye surgery. And I didn’t gain any weight at all in those two weeks. I do my treadmill five days a week. I’m trying to start weight training but it’s hard for me because I had two strokes. So my right side is more than a little numb. Keep up the fantastic job you doing! God bless ✌💙

    I was prescribed Mounjaro but my insurance wouldn’t cover. I would’ve had to pay 1,200 out of pocket. I was then prescribed Qysima and was paying 200 monthly but that wasn’t working for me. My doctor sent pre authorization for Zepbound and it was approved. My O-O-P is now under 30 dollars. I think the fact that they was able to record my attempts with Metformin and Qysima worked in my favor. I’m a PCOS girlie too. I try to tell people I can’t just work out and loose weight. I need to regulate my hormones and how my body processes sugar.

    So I weighed today after taking my second shot and I noticed I lost 7lbs.I started at 322 and I’m now 315,but I honestly haven’t felt any appetite suppressant.I don’t feel like I’m not hungry and I don’t feel like I’m hungry.I guess what I was expecting I didn’t see it,but it was also that time of the month.Ill take the 7lbs lost and keep moving but I was expecting what most people share in their experienced.I only had headache once and that was it and mild nausea,also on my first week I didn’t eat healthy nor exercise,but I did eat a lot of mangoes because I just wanted mangoes all the time.Any tips?I would appreciate it.

      This is my exact journey and this is also how I feel. I have an appt on the 30th. I’m gonna ask to go up to 5mg. It’s been 3 weeks and I’m down 4 lbs, making my weight now 307. It feels like I’m fighting an uphill battle. This is very frustrating.

    • @geneialacole
      @geneialacole  3 місяці тому +1

      If you are on 2.5mg that’s honestly a building dose to get the medication in your system. Check with your doctor. I can’t remember how I felt on 2.5.

      I think you try the entire month and if you’re not satisfied see if they can change it.Wish you all the best.
