I’m sorry this was a tough week. You’re allowed to be frustrated and I hope things are trending well now! Bumps in the road doesn’t mean pull off to the side. Be proud of yourself and keep traveling your journey, friend! Good job!
I really feel for you and all the people dealing with so much stress in trying not only trying to get your medications but also where you might have to check pharmacies im in the UK and ive never felt so grateful for our National Health service. I started mounjaro over 6 weeks now and doing really well Our medications are free and so are visits to specialists and diaticions ect My prescription is waiting for me every 3 weeks At the pharmacy. I just cannot understand what you all have to go through i feel very lucky and humble Your videos are lovely and jolly well done on an amazing weight loss
This video hit me so hard in my feels! I had the same experience through Kaiser with a pcp with the “I don’t know enough, you should see a specialist”. After that visit, I had a full melt down but kept pushing. I saw the specialist and got a prescription. Wegovy is experiencing a shortage as you know but she prescribed Saxenda. I still watch your videos because you are so inspiring and I love your content. Stay strong 💪 we are a family!
Thanks so much. I know a lot of people are having success with their doctors prescribing Ozempic for the low doses while they have stopped production on Wegovy.
I watched this video with my little girl and she went to the TV and tried to " give me five" when she saw you crying. That's what she does when she wants to cheer people up. Thank you for sharing with us
I'm so sorry you had such a rough week but I'm glad to hear you're not giving up. I know you're going to find a provider that will help you with the compound pharmacy and since you just started the 2.4 you have some time to get a visit and a prescription in before you run out. Stay encouraged this is just a minor setback and you should be so proud of yourself for continuing to stay the course even when things get hard. You got this you're an inspiration I'm so grateful for everything you share with us.
I'm so sorry you're having a hard time right now. I believe things will work out well for you though, because you are so clearly not going to give up! Your videos have been a great source of encouragement for me and I so appreciate your willingness to share your experiences, even when it isn't emotionally easy. I hope to have the success you've had as I start my own journey!
Thank you for sharing. I had stopped watching your videos because I had been trying to get approved for Wegovy or Ozempic since March and it is now September. Insurance hasn't approved. I could not find a compounding pharmacy in my area, either. I finally saved the money and have joined Calibrate in the hopes that their method can get me on the medication somehow. I am trying for Mounjaro now, as I see also that you were able to get to that, per your most recent videos (working my way to watching them). The differences in you in this video and your most recent ones are great. You are doing this and making it work for you.
Thanks Jay... it's been a journey for sure. A big driving factor for me switching to MJ was the manufacturer coupon that makes it only $25 even without insurance coverage. I hope you are able to make it work!
Hey sorry about the horrible week you been having ,i hope things will change for you soon ,continue with the amazing work you been doing ,things will take time so stay focused things will work out , hope your depression is alot better ❤
Sending you long distance virtual hugs and positive thoughts from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 💖. Thanks for posting despite the way you were feeling. Definitely a tough week, hope this one is a better one. Keep on keeping on Mindy, you have made such incredible progress 👏
I am sorry that you had a bad week. Some conversations that are really hard and controversial in this era are really sometimes better to try to avoid....like cardio, I just avoid them LOL. Anyway have a good week and you got this!!
Lol... most of the time I do... I'm not sure what possessed me to join in but I think I'll avoid doing that again. Thanks for the encouragement, Shell. 💜
Praying for you, it will get better and you will stronger, when those negative thoughts come know that you are a conqueror !! God bless you ! ##prayerworks##
WHEN DID YOU START THIS? I love you so much. I really do. I'm going to follow this ALL THE WAY. Btw you're so fucking beautiful but you already know that.
There technically isnt a generic for Wegovy yet and there wont be for a long time. That's just the "easy way" to describe a compound. This is my Q&A video. There is a timestamp in the description that will take you to the section where I talk about Compounding Pharmacies. ua-cam.com/video/M3Z7uSoK5wM/v-deo.html
Just wanted to throw something out to you. My Insurance doesn't cover any weight loss medication. My doctor was going to throw in the towel when I asked about doing phentermine and topiramate separately which is technically Qsymia I talked to the pharmacist she reach out to my doctor about the two separate drugs and she did it it was just 17.25 for both and it does the same thing wegovy does . I see a endocrinologist. Just wanted to try to help you because I have two more injection left of Wegovy and I am doing good I did not want to stop cold turkey. The pharmacist even said she could of put me on this to begin with it is just as good. When I get to my goal weight my Insurance does pay fir 10 visits with a year with a dietarian. I will see one when I get to my goal weight so I can keep the weight off.
Thanks Lori. I'm going to see if I can get the compound to work for now. I have family members who have had really bad experiences with Phentermine so that would be an absolute last resort for me. I'm avoiding seeing a specialist for now because it would be extremely pricey for me since I have a high deductible health plan. My prescription insurance won't cover anything until I meet the $4,500 deductible on my insurance (and prescription costs do not apply to the deductible) so while I know other drugs are less expensive than Wegovy the trial showed it to be twice as effective as any other diet drug on the market. I appreciate the tips though and I will definitely give them some thought if I'm unable to get the compound.
Ok guys if you read what I wrote it is a combination of phentermine and topiramate and to be honest it works just as good or better then wegovy and it is the same ingredients that is in qaymia which is a brand name weight lose medication. I am on it right now and I feel just like I did when I was on wegovy it is only 17.75 a month for both medication. Do you research before you just start making excuses.
Every week has its challenges... some more than others. I'm not giving up.

Hey Alison,
It's so interesting that the shortages aren't an issue there. Are you getting it in the pens or in vials?

You know who you are and what you are about. Don't give anybody that much power over you!

Thanks so much Loulou! 🙏 💜
Please go see a endocrinologist they can help you way more the just a family doctor ❤
WHEN DID YOU START THIS?
I love you so much. I really do.
I'm going to follow this ALL THE WAY.
Btw you're so fucking beautiful but you already know that.
Thanks love. I started the Wegovy back in October. 💜
i threw up everyday for a month and only lost 6 pounds plus lost tons of hair no thanks!
That's definitely not a "normal" experience, Cyn. I'm so sorry that you went through that. 😔❤️
I hope you are able to find what works for you.
Please can I ask what semaglutide compound is?
I talk about it in a lot more detail in the video I linked but it's basically a generic for Wegovy/Ozempic
@@mindypweightloss Which linked video is that? I’m interested as i wasn’t aware of a generic for it.

@@mindypweightloss Great. Now I know. I’m in UK which is probably why I haven’t heard of it. Drugs are much cheaper here anyway.
They are. You can get Ozempic there and Wegovy should be available extremely soon if it isn't already.

They are not the same as wegovy. Wegovy is almost a mind adjust. You feel full it is more than just not eating.
Also Phentermine stops working in some. It did me.
@@mindypweightloss what dosage are you on? You should have went to MX while in Cali. Lol
Ok guys if you read what I wrote it is a combination of phentermine and topiramate and to be honest it works just as good or better then wegovy and it is the same ingredients that is in qaymia which is a brand name weight lose medication.
