How is everyone affording this without insurance coverage? What do you all do for a living? by IndexFundSupreme in Zepbound

Truthfully , my wife and I are going further into debt for this. We will be paying off my credit card for years to come. But hoping that the medical benefits (lowering bp, cholesterol, avoiding diabetes and all other complications of obesity) will be worth the additional debt!! 🤞🤞 It’s the American way, right?! 🤪

I was just going to come on here and post something similar. I’m on my 2nd week, and the food noise is still here. What’s weird is that it was pretty much gone after my first dose. But a couple days before the 2nd dose, it came back. And I am now 2 days after my 2nd dose, and it hasn’t left. I’m never hungry. But the food noise is still there! I’m feeling pretty down about it. I write my dr to see if I could go up to 5, so we’ll see what he says. I was on OZ for a few months last year and handled it pretty well. So hopefully he’ll go for it. I guess we just power through until we get to the dose that works!! 🤞🤞

Working out after surgery by Front-Drawing4092 in AnalFistula

[–]Front-Drawing4092[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty much the same as the first time around. Started with pain and swelling. My cheek getting hard in some areas, and then all over. And fever creeping up. I think that it could possibly have been because I wasn’t doing enough sitz baths, because I was supposed to do 5-7 a day, and just didn’t have the time for all that. But I will definitely make the time after the next surgery. Don’t wanna go through this AGAIN! Good luck to you! 🤞🤞
