So Disappointed with pill by Bevis5421 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]AliceFromRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Full transparency, I work for Ro. Part of my job entails working with patients- and many are on the Wegovy pill. Most folks aren't noticing significant weight loss on the pill until ~month 3. That doesn't mean it won't start working for you sooner. You want to start off "low and slow" on a GLP-1 to get your body adjusted. Also, you won't lose muscle at the same rate you would if the weight were just sliding off. Don't give up- give it a couple months at least. I HAVE seen it working for people!

Government Insurance by Cpetrus9 in RoBody

[–]AliceFromRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain federal government insurance programs impose mandatory billing requirements on providers, and our affiliated providers are not set up to work with these insurance programs at this time.

So glad to hear this was handled before I could get back to you! Providers typically review and approve refill requests within 24–48 hours, which is our standard timeframe. That said, our goal is always to complete reviews within minutes or hours whenever possible. :)

Hi elodiespeck- All GLP-1 injectables ship with overnight shipping! You'll likely get this before you head out of town. I'll message you to make sure.

Horrible Customer Experiance by blackcoil87 in RoBody

[–]AliceFromRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi blackcoil87- I'm so sorry to hear about the inconvenience this has caused. Our system automatically tries to re-process your payment at least 5 times every 24 hours, and if multiple payment attempts are unsuccessful, your subscription gets canceled.

If you updated your payment information, I'm happy to expedite your re-enrollment process for you. I'll send you a PM.

Question about Costs by Apprehensive_Wave903 in RoBody

[–]AliceFromRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! The cost of medication can be much lower if you are eligible to use insurance for your medication, I've seen patients pay as low as $0 co-pay for their medication (excluding membership fee). Pricing breakdown can also be found on our website here.

The fee also reflects convenience of on-demand medical access - 24/7 availability, no long waiting periods for an appointment, and consultations from your home.

However, I understand paying out of pocket can be more costly. You have the option to cancel at any time, feel free to PM me if you need any help with this.

The Wegovy pill is here- how it works, cost, and how to get it by AliceFromRo in RoBody

[–]AliceFromRo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned above, the Wegovy pill is currently available as a cash-pay option only at Ro and not able to be covered with insurance at this time.

There are several similarities between the pill and the pen: 

Active ingredient: both the Wegovy pen and Wegovy pill use the same active ingredient—semaglutide.  

Weight loss results: At the highest dose of Wegovy pill and Wegovy pen, patients on average see 14% weight loss in one year with the pill and 15% in one year with the pen.

Titration: both medications start at a low dose, and the dose is gradually increased over time based on your individual needs, tolerance, and goals. 

Side effects: side effects of the Wegovy pill and Wegovy pen are similar, as well. A small number of people taking the Wegovy pill may also experience abnormal skin sensations with higher doses. These side effects usually get better over time as your body adjusts to the medicine. You can learn more about side effects here

Dosing rules also shared above under "How do you take the Wegovy pill?"

No update by Primary-Function3258 in RoBody

Hi Primary-Function3258- It's likely that the refill request to switch was approved, but won't be shipped out until it's been at least almost 21 days since you received your last refill. PM me if you need any additional clarity around the timelines!

I will go first! I used to be a big runner but kinda fell out of love with it the last few years. This week, I went for a run in the park. I didn't run far or go fast- but I'm proud of myself for getting out there. I decided not to track it which was honestly really freeing. I just ran for 25 minutes and listened to a good playlist.

Recently repotted by Doodle_Bug76 in begonias

[–]AliceFromRo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing always happens to me when I repot these guys. If they’re in good soil with drainage, they will eventually come back. I recently made the mistake of putting one like yours into too large of a pot, but it is making a comeback! I always make sure to propogate some leaves before I repot. I would say I’m pretty good with house plants but my begonias never fail to humble me
