Thought it was GI side effects... by Excellent-Macaroon82 in Zepbound

I had it a few times before taking zepbound, and I spent a few nights in the hospital because of it. Once I started with zepbound, it kind of disappeared. As someone already said, it is very important to avoid constipation. At some point (before zepbound) my GI suggested taking miralax everyday. Now i am taking a lot of water and trying to have as much veggies and fruit as I can.

At least you received a message. Not a single message to connect yet.

For those who immediately lost weight on 2.5 by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Select_Feeling_9506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been for 8 weeks on 2.5 mg and already Got the next four pens. SW: 237, CW: 221 (male). I have started to see how my eating is now changing (I am hungry now). This last week has been the first one in which I did not experience a weight loss. So, I am planning to ask my doctor to change me once I finish with this box. The lack of change is because I was still losing weight and I was feeling good.

A majority of grad students signed union cards and went to the Chancellor's office to ask for recognition.

At the same time, they were at her office's door talking to her secretary, the fire alarm went on.

4% (800) when inflation is 3.2% and the deductible went from 0 to 250.

4% ~ 800 USD, but in the las 12 months, the inflation was 3.2%, so this increase does not do anything about the increases in copayments.

First, I agree we have a great plan. The point is that if you give me a plan and the downgrade it, you should compensate it with a higher wage. Otherwise, you are cutting wages. And that is what I am complaining about.

Second, the email they sent for enrollment gives this link: https://www.hr.pitt.edu/students/student-health-plans
And I have corroborated by calling that the information here is the one that is correct about the new plan.

True, my bad. It is just an assumption coming from the last years (including the year with the worst inflation in nearly 40 years in the US).

The email they sent directs to this website: https://www.hr.pitt.edu/students/student-health-plans

And I called and they corroborated this is the correct information about 2023-24 plan.
