Back On The GLP-1 Bus

[Cruiser]

I have recently begun semaglutide use received from an online weight loss program, but this isn’t my first use of this type of medication. In 2018 I was prescribed Trulicity, which, along with diet and exercise, helped me go from the 240’s (lbs) to the 170’s. In 2020 my prescription was changed to Ozempic, which I stayed on until 2023 when my insurance stopped coverage because I am not diabetic. My physician then prescribed Wegovy, but that was also rejected by insurance because even though my weight had crept to the 190’s, I wasn’t obese. Now here we are, two years later, and I am back to the 230’s, and back on the GLP-1 bus.

I joined this forum to learn about GLP-1 usage, hear others’ stories, and share my experience. I work in healthcare, and am committed to safety and harm reduction.

Glad you found this place. In my opinion, for me these are lifetime meds. I can't imagine having it taken away like.
