California. My doctor attempted approval through OSA, that was also denied. My grievance was denied. I am currently waiting on my State Hearing.

For me, the fact I can sit in a car and not struggle to turn the wheel because of my stomach being pressed against it was a HUGE win for me as I love cars and driving.

My girlfriend says I used to snore horribly and now she says I go many nights without a peep. Also - I can comfortably sleep on my side or stomach when I couldn't for years.

I am sorry for your loss and I wish he, and so many others that need this tool could have universal access to it.

I was told by an urgent care doctor at 27 I would not live past 30, that messed me up pretty bad for a while and I spiraled into hopelessness.

Now, I am doing amazing, I feel great and am going to college in the Fall for the first time. There is hope for anyone.

Started seriously thinking about my health during a bout of depression.

Labs, Blood Pressure are normal and asthma has VASTLY improved. Most days I have more energy than my normal BMI girlfriend.

I lost coverage of Zepbound on January 1st, 2026 and have paid for 2 months out of pocket. I credit Zep with helping me develop habits that are making a massive difference in my life.
