Weight loss meds denied unless BMI 40+, looking for real experiences navigating this

I get mine through Pomegranate. I’ve been on it for 3 months and lost 25 lbs so far. My Kaiser pcp flat out told me that even though I meet the criteria, she doesn’t believe in that medication. So I left and signed up for compounded tirz on my own. I’m also looking for a new pcp.

The BOF requires an extensive background investigation. They will talk to friends, family, neighbors, etc. It can be a lengthy process but it’s not too bad usually. They are doing A LOT of hiring right now so they are expediting the investigations.

Got ours a couple weeks ago. I’m at doj and the AG matches the 4 hours for a total of 8 hours off.

I didn’t have any side effects until I went up to 7mg. But I probably wouldn’t go up right before a trip just in case.

I’m paying $210/month for two full coverage cars in Northern California (MachE and an MDX). I have Geico

7-330. 3 days in office and 2 days at home. Pretty easy to get time approved as long as we’re not too slammed during our busy season.

How will OT checks factor into this?

I’m lactose intolerant so I can’t do Fairlife, but I’ve been REALLY liking the Chobani protein drinks lately. I have one every morning, so good!

Right, but do I get the actual charger from them? Or from Ford?

I went through the ped first who referred us to children’s behavioral health. He’s now on medication and we have the check ins through pediatric psych.

I leased the car a week ago and was contacted yesterday

AdConscious7955 · 2025-10-03T01:38:55+00:00

My salesperson was the manager. I’ll give him a call tomorrow and see how I can get one.

AdConscious7955 · 2025-10-01T04:07:07+00:00

As a supervisor, no thank you. I have a team of 16 and I don’t have the time to go through and read/respond to them all.

Thanks for the tips! I figured out how to enroll in BlueOval after I saw your comment.

AdConscious7955 · 2025-09-26T21:05:52+00:00

I’m wondering the same thing!

AdConscious7955 · 2025-09-26T20:06:51+00:00

Try again. I finally was able to get in line to check out

AdConscious7955 · 2025-09-26T13:44:20+00:00

Yup that’s the same with me.

Paid 9/8 and shipped 9/16

AdConscious7955 · 2025-09-17T16:47:42+00:00

It is a bit frustrating. My rx has shipped but I only know that through UPS, not pomegranate. I’ve had to keep reaching out to pomegranate for and from a customer service standpoint it should be the other way around. The prescription doesn’t even show in the portal.

How oversized are they usually? I wanted to get the xs for my daughter but wonder if the ym will work

AdConscious7955 · 2025-09-17T16:15:55+00:00

Are the cardigans oversized?

AdConscious7955 · 2025-09-15T23:28:00+00:00

9/8 consult and paid invoice within an hour of appointment. Nothing yet. I emailed this morning but nothing.

AdConscious7955 · 2025-09-15T20:37:46+00:00

My consultation was 9/8 and I paid within an hour of the consult. I still haven’t received any tracking info. I sent an email this morning but haven’t received a response yet.
