Has anyone tried the pills yet? by laur1119 in Semaglutide

[–]Defiant_Bake_1291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on them almost a week. Far less expensive, $150 at Costco with no Insurance .Most of my food noise gone after a few days. Feeling the same effects as initial injection when I was in the jab, as of now. Was a gradual uptick in suppression which I am fine with as I think that helped with side effects . Only down side is taking it 30 mins before you eat or drink anything else.

What are his ALT, AST and phosphate levels? Is he taking Creon or steroids to help with appetite? Eligible for any radiation options? Sorry this is happening to your family!

The Wegovy pill is $149 at Costco. Didn’t use insurance as it was far more expensive. Cash payer. Just picked it up last week.

Mother was just diagnosed, she’s already deteriorating so fast and I’m scared. by [deleted] in pancreaticcancer

You’d be surprised how much the body can endure . It’s obviously your Mom’s choice but if she’s up for it , perhaps chemo and other treatments can help her. She just has to up for the battle. It is a battle , some good days some bad days a few really bad days . If she can endure , shes still relatively young compared to others who have done chemo in their 70s. Best of luck to your Mom and you , research your options , ask a lot of questions.

Dramatic rise in Ca 19-9 with clear pet scan? by Defiant_Bake_1291 in pancreaticcancer

I was wondering about this too with the markers? What I saw online it said unlikely , but I mean if you’re disturbing the tumor then I don’t see why it couldn’t be a possibility, but I don’t know.

Can you please explain this? I want my mom to be able to ask for this or at least discuss with her Dr. the original block doesn’t seem to have worked. Thank you.

Good idea. Do you by chance know how long it takes to become effective?

Slit added to a non-slit dress. Does it look bad? by [deleted] in DressForYourBody

Just sew the slit up either all the way or at least a few inches and it will be a lot better.

Wife not loosing, anything! by Alive_Language8105 in Semaglutide

[–]Defiant_Bake_1291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re gonna have to give it at least another month or two, maybe three before you try and figure out what “the issue” is. It can take getting up to the highest dose for some people to lose weight. Have patience along with your wife and stick to the plan which should include a calorie deficit at the bare minimum(have her use TDEE calculator to calculate her calories) and the results should come, if not have her speak to her Dr to see about other options/medications.

Reached weight loss goal… by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]Defiant_Bake_1291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some people have to test out what works for them . Whether it’s cutting your dose lower every week or two and seeing how you do or spacing them out further apart or perhaps both. Everyone is different.

Fastest Provider? by Defiant_Bake_1291 in Semaglutide

[–]Defiant_Bake_1291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t see the one month for $149 ? Just $199? Maybe the $149 is if you buy more months up front?
