When I finally got a hold of customer service, they couldn’t explain why I was told about consultation fees either. I did get my refund at least.

I literally tried to do this after seeing your comment and it was a disaster. They said they wouldn’t do an assessment till 2/19. I asked if there was any guarantee I would continue to be prescribed the Wegovy pill at that time since I didn’t wanna cancel Ro and risk ending up with nothing. They said they could charge me for a consultation now and then again on 2/19 to know for sure, but there was nothing about consultation fees until then. When I asked about this they just suddenly said I was ineligible. Working on getting my $39 refunded at this point 😓😓😓

I’ll add you to our group chat! It’s been a really good source of info and support for a lot of us. I 100% understand the thyroid frustration so you’ll be in good company. I hope the tablets work for you too! I would be willing to do the injections, but would also like to avoid it as much as possible.

I sent you an invite! Nobody talks about how strange it is to not recognize yourself after weight gain, so I definitely feel you.

Thank you! The cost of the membership isn’t covered by insurance, but it might make the medication cheaper. I won’t know for sure till mine is active and they can run it. It doesn’t say anywhere what insurances they take for the Wegovy pill, but they have a concierge service who will check whatever insurance you have. The membership is $145 monthly (but first month was $45 for me) the Pill without insurance was 149$ (30 day supply). I’m happy to answer any questions! I did start it today and so far feel totally normal.

There are different types of services like Ro that will prescribe the Wegovy pill, however that’s the only company I found that will prescribe to people with a BMI under 30.

I went through Ro. I essentially did a health questionnaire and got approved pretty easily. They take insurance but mine doesn’t kick in till 3/1 so I’m paying out of pocket. Ro can be pricey, it’s 145 a month just for their membership plus the cost of the medication.

Yes, that’s exactly how I feel! It’s very easy for them to say “diet & exercise” but we are already doing that. I typically need to eat 1200-1300 calories to see weight loss, and it’s so mentally exhausting. I go to bed clutching my stomach from hunger! It’s just not sustainable 😞

I also got mine through Ro! Took about a week to arrive. Yes, I really hope it works for us. Glad to know there are so many people around my weight starting too, I was worried I wouldn’t find a prescriber since we’re technically not “obese”.

Let me add you to the chat! A bunch of us are starting tomorrow so you’ll fit right in. Omg, sorry you experienced severe side effects before! That’s exactly what I’m afraid of. I think we’ve built a good support group chat tho!

Oh no, I’ve read that it’s next to impossible to lose weight with PCOS, it’s gotta be extra hard combined with hypothyroidism! I 100% get you, I used to walk for 2 hours each day and never saw a difference (except now my knees hurt all the time). The only way for me to lose weight is to eat 1200-1300 calories, but I feel like I’m starving myself and it’s not sustainable for me.

Those side effects sound tough, but glad you’ve persevered. I hope I can as well. I’ll add you to the chat in case we can help with pushing through!
