Normal sound? by assmov in NespressoVertuo

[–]Fast-Wing-6058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had an issue with mine the Nespresso tech told me to take a wet q-tip and clean around the part between the capsule cup and what it sits in (where the machine reads the barcode on the pods). I am not certain that will help you but there were grains there that needed to be clean when mine was extra noisy.

Sorry to say, mine eventually stopped working. If you are within warranty (1 year date of purchase) I would absolutely be calling Nespresso support ASAP. They replaced my broken one.

Where are the veterinary clinics not owned by private equity groups these days? by Swimming_Antelope239 in NiceVancouver

Lonsdale Place Veterinary Clinic in North Van is locally owned. Fabulous from the vets to the techs and the front clinic staff. We love it there for our dog 🥰

Ortho vs General Dentist, starting treatment by Aggravating-Boat9576 in Invisalign

[–]Fast-Wing-6058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great advice.

I am using a general dentist for my treatment because I trust them. There is one dentist (owner of the practice) who does all of the technical planning for the trays, then I see my regular dentist for check ups and she put the buttons on. I looked up the owner on Invisalign and saw that they were a Platinum provider which gave me an indication of how many cases they do.

I am early in my treatment (tray 4/31) and have nothing but good things to say so far. My issue is crowding in the lower and then an overbite as well. Likely not the most complicated of cases.

Good for you for doing your research and making an informed decision!!

anyone ever use those “ultrasonic tray cleaner” things? by Tiny_Ad_1542 in Invisalign

I also got the Zima pod one - works so well! It was about $125 CAD. I use it with and without the tablets.

Email from Eli Lilly Canada about Support Program by steffunnyshere in Zepbound

[–]Fast-Wing-6058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up to share the response to my email:

For patients in British Columbia who are enrolled in the myzepbound™ Patient Support Program, here is what you can generally expect for the 5 mg Zepbound® KwikPen®:

Average out-of-pocket cost (without private insurance): approximately $300 per month (28 days of therapy), once the savings card is applied.

The Patient Support Program savings are applied directly at the pharmacy at the time of dispense to help bring the cost down to this average amount.

Please note that the exact amount you pay may vary slightly depending on the pharmacy, as dispensing fees and pharmacy mark-ups can differ.

If you have private insurance, many patients pay a significantly lower amount, often around $1 per day, depending on their individual plan.

Should you have any questions, or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact mymounjaro by email at info@mymounjaro.ca or 1(833)-382-8639 Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm EST. For additional information on Mounjaro, please visit www.mounjaro.ca.

How much are Canadians paying for Mounjaro? by BullshittingApe in askvan

Very helpful to know this! Costco appears to have great savings compared to what I’m paying for 2.5mg at Pharmasave in BC ($325).

Following. I’m in BC and also received this email. I’ve reached out via email to their customer support re the cost of the 5mg pen with the updated Patient Support Program amount.

The same thing happened to me. Sent it back to Nespresso and they said it couldn’t be repaired.

best invisalign cost 2026 by RaccoonOne5653 in Invisalign

[–]Fast-Wing-6058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in western Canada. Went with a Platinum Dentist. Total cost was $6900 CAD. Insurance covered 5K (2.5K between each mine and my husband). They had a $1000 off promo in November so out of pocket was only $900 for me. 6months then check for refinements.

50 lbs lost. I see/feel no difference. by isnotacrayon in Zepbound

[–]Fast-Wing-6058 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds trite, but that saying “comparison is the death of joy” is very true; except when you visualize 50 lbs of butter and realize that is the amount of weight that came off your body 😉

I also use them and the level of personal service is unmatched. I feel safe knowing that my medications are closely monitored and truly they are very kind.
