Sema Didn’t Spark Joy. Tirze Did—Till Insurance Cut the Cord. My Newbie Introduction.

[Lazynewt]

Hi everyone!

I’m a 29F starting weight 200. I️ started my journey on sema through an online compounding pharmacy for a few months about a year ago. I️ only saw limited weightloss maybe 10lbs. Sema and I didn’t really agree and I ending up stopping. I️ recently started tirze about 3 months ago because I️ found out my work covered it. I lost about 20lbs on the lowest dose and it was phenomenal! I loved it! Well as all good things do, in May my work cut tirze out of our insurance plan. So long $25 copays 🙁. My SO currently buys other grey market solutions (growth horomone, etc) and he’s had great success! He recommended I️ do some research and that’s what lead me to this forum! I️ work in the medical field and use to work in a compounding pharmacy and so far I️ find a lot of this super interesting! Thanks for having me!

Welcome! 🤗 Tirz is my faveee too! Sucks that insurances are ending coverage left and right, makes me even more appreciative to have this forum!

I️ know! A lot of people at my work were on it and I️ was late to the train bc I️ was so skeptical after taking sema. Excited to get back on tirz after a little break.

Insurance companies suck, will spend 100s of thousands to treat the related diseases but horrible coverage for meds that would prevent them. BCBS is horrible, $726 per months copay for Semaglutide IF approved and basically zero coverage for tirzepatide. This is with a good expensive plan...F them.
