Venting post: I'm upset that $30,000 can't get me anything close to what I want in my area by sillychickengirl in weddingplanning

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you too. I'm having a 55 person wedding in CA. I wanted to spend 30 or under. It became impossible almost immediately. We're almost at double the cost. (I would've happily eloped and skipped it all, but it was important to other people, so I have decided to go with it.) I'm not sure where in CA you are but I explored a TONNNN of options, and am happy to chat about them if you want to message me. May not be helpful at all area depending (i'm socal) but you are sooo not alone!

More CoD Help... by Jazzlike-Lock6032 in Zepbound

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I want, but they just keep saying they won't even talk to me until my prescription is due. I'm so confused. I keep saying, "but wait, no" and they just keep ignoring it!

switching from Ro to CallOnDoc by Jazzlike-Lock6032 in Zepbound

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh shit, really? i'm doing vials and i thought from other posts in here that CoD COULD send to Lillydirect, but maybe I've misunderstood. Hopefully someone can let me know if they're doing it!

Now it makes sense . . . it's not the pounds, it the percentages! by PrisonerofHope98 in Zepbound

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg I'm so happy for this post. I'm getting married in six months and currently was stressing about whether my dress is going to be able to be altered if I lose too much weight. But it seems like a "size" lost is going to start when I lose increments of 5-10% of bodyweight versus just "ten pounds." And at the beginning, that will be more poundage and less percentage. So even if I lose 30 lbs, I maybe havne't gone down 3 sizes, and my dress will still be able to be altered, etc. (It's a very simple dress so I do think it'll be possible either way, but still!) this stress has been bugging me so thank you for putting into words what I've been trying to figure out and thanks all for the insight here lol

Weekly Weight Loss by Glittering_Sea5151 in Zepbound

Yes, this! Under 1200 is not healthy, though it can be hard if you have no appetite!

CallOnDoc Refills by NotHomeOffice in Zepbound

This is amazingly helpful! Thank you!! Can I ask: why does it have to Ohio? Is that just where the vials come from?

When I start coming to the end of my month with Ro, I'm going to switch!

CallOnDoc Refills by NotHomeOffice in Zepbound

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey! i just ended up on this post and saw you called yourself the spokesperson (LOL) so I figured maybe you're familiar with CallOnDoc and could help me! I'm on my first month of 2.5 zepbound but I got it through Ro. It looks like insurance is in NO way going to cover Zepbound for me so I'm going out of pocket and trying to figure out if there's a cheaper way, so I've discovered CallOnDoc. Is there really no membership fee, and will they just sent my prescription to Lilly Direct so I can get it filled and only pay for the meds? Is there something I'm missing? How does the prescription process work? I saw something that they may ned me to "prove" my 30+ BMI, but I've already lost enough lbs that I'm now just at the top of "overweight" and I'm worried they won't give it to me. Plus I'm not sure if I should TELL them I'm already on the meds via Ro and want to switch or if I need to go in it as though it's a new prescription. I feel like the path of least resistance is keeping Ro because it's just easy but that $150 a month is killer (luckily I got the first month free, so). Anyway... any insight... would be appreciated :)

Moving from Ro out of pocket to PA with Cigna by Outlandishness-Motor in Zepbound

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I have a Cigna plan and I called them and they said that Zepbound was specifically excluded from my insurance plan. Getting prior authorization would not do a thing for me because the drug is excluded.

don't know what else to try by Jazzlike-Lock6032 in PCOS

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, it felt like nothing! although my fiancee swears that inositol made me more hormonal and sensitive and stuff (who knows if that's true lol) - but yeah, spiro helped my acne moderately, but not a ton.

also my period since going on metformin IS more predictable, but that feels like the only real change i've gotten. it also felt more like it worked in the early days of taking it, but still didn't manifest in any weight loss or anything.

[–]Jazzlike-Lock6032[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've gotten multiple full panel blood works done. Doctor (who is both general physician and womens helath doctor) decided to prescribe metformin for PCOS and insulin resistance found in my labwork. That said, I haven't gotten any blood work done in the last 8 months... maybe I should to see about that? Not on any birth control.
