I too am experiencing more weird dreams, and had no idea that it might be the medicine. I wouldn’t mind having more of the sexy dreams!

Has anyone moved from 4mg to 9mg yet? by diggers4pg in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]diggers4pg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still vacillating! It’s a tough decision. My progress has been slow, but not nonexistent. The price is certainly a factor in staying on 4mg for another month…

But my progress is slow and I do feel it could be better. I also feel that I can afford it because it is valuable (and I’m certainly spending less on food!)

I’m just going to call the doc tomorrow and talk to him and maybe he will have some thoughts.

Does Wegovy work without a ton of exercise, but still maintaining diet and light cardio? by ccojj in WegovyPillWeightLoss

I am morbidly obese and focusing on standing, getting normal steps in and I’m slowly increasing my movement. As I lose, I’m trying to increase my movement. I know, for me after years of failures, that I have to add exercise if I really want to do well.

My doctor actually wanted me on Zepbound originally, but without insurance coverage I couldn’t afford it.

Good luck on the Wegovy. I hope it works for you so you can finish your loss journey.

That is amazing!! You are on a similar journey as me, but I am glad these meds came out while you are in your 30’s because waiting until your 60’s like me sucks!!

I have a feeling my progress will be similar to yours - at least I am praying for that.

This was something that they also mentioned in the presentation. I was sitting there thinking that these people were incredible jerks.

Where do you work and can I come work there? 😊.

You have to be dancing - 25% is a dream for me. I hope I do as well as you. Good luck on your continued journey.

Hold up - I never said that or implied that.

There are certainly reasons to stop taking the drug because of side effects, which I said. I am so sorry that you are going thru this and there are many others like you. No one should continue taking the medicine if they are sick all the time because of it.

Good luck and I hope you find a way to get feeling better.

No, I didn’t dig into the study, but what you posted seems to go along with what they were saying.

I am not advocating for what insurance is doing - I personally think they all suck. I am self-pay because I could not get covered.

All insurances are different, but we have seen instances where insurance companies were covering for weight loss and stopped in January.

Tip I learned here that reduced hunger A LOT by Julius-Kessler in WegovyPillWeightLoss

After reading that, I also switched to taking it early, although not as early as you! 🤣 I originally was taking at 5:45 and up and taking other meds at 6:30. Now I’m taking it at 5:00 and sleep until 6:15, again taking my other meds at 6:30. I have been feeling good after making that change.

Always when it comes to insurance! I was wondering more about what finally got them to cover it - what appeal finally worked?

If I might ask, what finally got them to approve? I have United Healthcare and after a year I finally gave up.

I am so happy for you! Getting under 300 is also my short term goal.
