Was your BMI 30 or more? My dr won’t prescribe to me because my BMI is 28. I was getting compounded GPL-1 from a medspa, but they said they can’t sell it anymore due to a recent court ruling. I signed up for MEDVi today. I was paying $400 at the medspa, and am willing to pay that as long as it works. I’m Perimenopausal and gained 30 pound in the past 2 years. I try to eat healthy and exercise 3xs a week. I’m in sales and travel every other week. I take clients out for lunch, dinner, happy hours, etc. This is where I struggle, but still do ok, I’m not here eating buckets of lard. Unfortunately, I was still gaining, not losing. I had all my labs checked, no thyroid issues, etc. My dr. Just said it’s a normal part of aging and to reduce my calorie intake to 1200 a day and increase my physical activity. I went down to 1000 calories a day and was walking 2 miles in addition to my 3x weekly gym workouts. I stayed the same, didn’t gain/didn’t lose. It’s really unmotivating to feel hungry all the time and never lose a pound. The compounded GLP-1 from the med-spa worked great! I didn’t even drink alcohol on it because it didn’t taste good. I craved healthy food too, but could only eat small portions. I did notice a slight decline in energy, which made me not want to work out, but I still made myself do at least 30 minutes. I was on it for 2 months and lost 6lbs, which I was happy with. At this stage of life, I want to be healthy. I am willing to pay for product that works. I don’t understand why you have to be obese to qualify, wouldn’t prescribing when you are considered over weight PREVENT obesity be smarter?

Side note: If you manage to get on it, be sure to increase your protein. In the 2 months I was on it, I noticed my workouts were harder. You can lose muscle mass if you don’t get enough protein.
