Awesome thanks everyone!! Is anyone willing to share how much weight you lost and the cost of the medication to you?

I got it from my primary… though I initially went to her for weight loss awhile ago and she became my primary because I liked her. Your primary may or may not prescribe it. I helped my mom get a prescription for it from push health online… her pcp wouldn’t give it to her.

Certainly works! Lost a lot of weight and not muscle which was great! Check out Telegenixx as it’s pretty affordable and all inclusive with doctor visits and labs.

Which type of doctor can prescribe this?

It works, but it's expensive, supply is sparse. It has side effects they have been manageable for me. I Feel full most of the day, sometimes i forget to eat which causes it's own problems.

I’m assuming you mean for obesity? It certainly works.

I love my weekly semaglutide, when I started I got sick twice but it's because I ate things that did not digest easily and sat in my gut. It's a partnership between meds and lifestyle

Mounjaro, but will likely switch to ozempic because mounjaro is becoming insanely expensive. Love it. Down an insane amount of weight. Aetna should cover ozempic without a prior authorization if you have that insurance… if not, check w your plan.

I’ve heard it works but very dangerous for women. You can get pancreatitis

I’ve also heard once you stop most ppl gain the weight back plus some.

Hello all, We are about to start our first IVF cycle in the next 2 weeks. What questions should I ask my RE before starting the cycle to make sure we are doing everything right. Anything you wish you had known before you went through the cycle.

History: Trying for 3 years. I have a blocked fallopian tube on 1 side and the other ovary had a dermoid cyst that had to be surgically removed. The other ovary does not seem to be responding well and isn't producing eggs. Hence moving to IVF.

TIA!

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
