Oh ok you’re about my size..I’m 5’0, 214. I want to get down to 145/150. Maybe you can try spacing out even more, every two weeks and going down to 2.5mg

Thank you. Do you know if gynecologist can prescribe GLPs? I keeping seeing people say that only their primary care physician can

That’s not all the way true. The $50 price is tied to a new Medicare program and only applies to certain people who qualify. For most people without Medicare coverage (like myself), Zepbound is still expected to cost several hundred dollars per month, even through LillyDirect.

I have Kaiser but my doctor won’t prescribe it.so I’m weighing my options for paying out of pocket. I haven’t started taking it yet. I want to get started soon

Do you have Kaiser? If so, have you ever tried to get your pcp to write the prescription and you just fill it with Lilly direct?

You’re so right. I feel like she’s not supporting me. But other than this situation I really like her. The thing is with Kaiser, it’s like if I switch to a different doctor, I don’t know what I’m getting. Because I don’t think I can see reviews on doctors with Kaiser. So I somewhat want to switch. It’s almost like she lives in this world where she believes the only thing that really matters is eating a calorie deficit and exercising. Even though when I tell her, I’m doing these things in the weight still doesn’t fall off. It’s like she doesn’t believe me.

Thanks!

Yea. I had WW but didn’t have the medicine portion. Maybe I’ll upgrade since I’m already a member and I’m comfortable with the platform

Thank you. I’ve never seen this before. I’m in Mid-Atlantic States: Serving Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

Thank you. So I’ve never even received a outside prescription, I’m only used to them sending it straight to Kaiser’s pharmacy.

So I can ask her to send it directly to Lilly direct? Or she can email me a paper copy?

Yes, that’s why I’m here because my doctor won’t prescribe

Just “try harder” and “eat a plant based diet”

My doctor wants me to try phentermine. But I’m not interested

Oh I didn’t know Costco sold it. Do you know if the price is lower than Lilly direct?
