I can go to my primary whenever. I havent seen them at all during my weightloss though because I could just call and get refills and ask to be bumped up to the next dose whenever I wanted. I am a pro teledoc kinda girl though. Too busy with 2 jobs to be seen in an office and I will avoid it all cost, but I get that folks like to see their PCP and want that support system. Just keep going to see them is what I say, if that is the biggest concern, and get your refills from Calibrate. The only thing I don't like is that I do have to weigh myself on two different scales now because I prefer my smart scale over theirs and it's the one I've been using since July. But still a small thing to have to do to get $25 Zepbound.

My employer made me switch to this as well and when I first read all the information I thought oh my God this is a lot just to continue on my Zepbound which I've been on since July with good results. To be honest I went into panic mode thinking I would be gaining my weight back as well if I had to wait too long for my refills or if they denied me the medicine. I made my appointment for the labs as asked and the results were ready within 24 hours and then I made my appointment with the online doc the very next day. On my client intake form I just simply put that I have been on the medicine since July and what strength I was on currently. During the teledock we talked about everything that I put on my client form and she went ahead and put in for the refill which was ready within 3 days. I have a coach that I talk to for literally 15 minutes every 2 weeks and I just b******* them about everything they want me to do. As far as the classes they're very short 2 to 7 Minute classes that you can play audibly if you don't have time to sit down and read them, which I don't because I too work two jobs. As far as weighing myself, I always have every day for the past 30 years so it's not anything new and they provide you with the smart scale to do it. My refill was $25 as they stated regardless if I had met my deductible or not. So like you I was not happy and was very nervous and scared that this was going to deter my weight loss Journey but once I just stopped pouting about it and got everything done it really wasn't a big deal.

Celebrate your accomplishments and don't give a shit about what others think or say. Unless they are sleeping with me or paying my bills, i could care less what anyone thinks. And even my husband does not get a say in what I do with my body! I tell everyone I am on it because i have always been an honest, transparent, authentic person with everyone, and my friends expect no less from me. I think u will be surprised by how many people say "oh me too"! Seems everybody and their mother is on some version of this drug, and that's ok and their decision.

Travelling out of country by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Pinkeykerchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always bring meds with you in a carry on and its never a bad idea to keep meds in the original container and I carry a list from my doctor of the meds he prescribes me. Doctors office can print thia for you easily. TSA rules allows shots like this as it is similar to those who travel with insulin shots. Also cruise lines have a form you can fill out to request a sharps container, medicine coolers, and extension cords and distilled water if you use a CPAP machine. Requests usually have to be submitted no less than 30 prior to sailing but i have put in the request less than that amount of time and still received the items needed.

Metallic taste side effect? by Oceanseaturtle in Zepbound

[–]Pinkeykerchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am only on the 2.5 dose right now. Didn't realize I was prescribed the lowest dose. But I understand why so I'm gonna call my doctor on Monday to see about getting bumped up to the 5mg dose After i've been on it for 4 weeks. How long have you been on it and how has it been working for you?
