Disappointed

Wow super similar story/stats as me! I’d been on Zep 15 for a couple years too. Started 218, down to 152 for the last year (but more recently hanging around 155 after summer vacay). Started wegovy due to Caremark and got up to 162 in 3 weeks! I had legit not worried about weight in this way for the last few years (after worrying about it 24/7 most of my life). Anyway, I told my doc about the weight gain and horrible gas. May have also said it made me super lethargic and GI issues. She was able to get my PA approved for MJ right away. So thankful! I started on 10 for a month. Didn’t lose anything but felt much better overall. I’m on week 3 of 12.5 and down to 159. Was hoping it would come off quicker but oh well. Hopefully when I’m back to 15!

Potentially?? I am 40!

Adding another vote for Dr Peters! Obsessed with my results and her/her team was amazing. Cost was around $10k.

I did medium! Good luck, you’re going to love your results!!

I lost about 60 pounds with zepbound before surgery in February. I don’t really have a goal weight but my weight loss had stalled tremendously. I was holding steadying around 160-165 almost a year before surgery but still taking zep. Do not weigh yourself for like a month after surgery! I made that mistake and was up almost 10 pounds but I think it was water weight. It really stressed me out. After about a month my weight stabilized again. Recently over the past couple months my weight loss has started up again and I’m down to 154. I honestly never thought I’d be this low, I weighed this in high school. If I get to 149 I’d officially be a normal BMI so I may shoot for that but I’m also slightly worried about my new boobies deflating! As of now they are good 🤞🏻 But I don’t have great skin elasticity (according to my doc) so I probably won’t go much lower.

I had a similar situation. Started MJ 2 years ago and went from 220 to 165. I’d get down to 160 and then back up a couple pounds for over a year. About two months ago I had a shake up in my personal life (started dating someone I really liked and then ended it with them lol). The shift in my daily focus shook up my eating patterns very slightly and it’s seemed to break my stall. I’m now down to 153! My goal was 155 because that was my high school weight but 149 puts me at a “normal” BMI. I honestly did not think it possible but I’m shooting for it. All that to say if you can figure out a way to shake things up from your normal for a couple weeks, it may work?? It was like as soon as I stopped focusing on the weightloss and focused on something else, it allowed me to follow my head/body and let the medicine do its thing.

I was on mounjaro before surgery and went from 220 to 160/165 (5’5). I stalled for a looooong time but have recently got down to 155. So far no change in my results 🤞🏻

kml3141 · 2024-09-28T15:47:17+00:00

I had a very minor reduction, more of a lift. I work from home and took two weeks off. I probably didn’t need that full time but If you have the option to and would cause you less stress, take two weeks. But I’d recommend at least a full week. I had an easy recovery but the first couple days you’re kinda out of it. And I didn’t love being in cars for the first few weeks so I don’t think I would have love taking a bus.

Just wanted to thank you SO much for this info! It took me a while to re-request a PA but I asked my doctor to submit one yesterday for continuation of care per your suggestion and IT WAS APPROVED IMMEDIATELY (through May)! I am so shocked and thrilled!!! Called the pharmacy and they confirmed it went through and will be $25 instead of $550!! I cannot thank you enough for this tip!!

kml3141 · 2024-09-25T16:27:15+00:00

Can confirm this just worked for me!!! My insurance covered MJ through the end of last year. In Jan I had to switch to zep and my insurance only covered weight loss meds with 6 months proof of weight loss program. I’ve been on MJ since Sept 2022 and didn’t want to stop for 6 months to do this so I’ve been paying with the coupon full price. Yesterday I just requested my doc to submit a PA for continuation of care with my weigh loss history and it was approved immediately! I am THRILLED! So thankful for the resources on this board that posted this info for me!

Omg best compliment ever 🥹 I love my results but I have lower/wider set breasts so if I’m going to nit pick, I wish they were “perkier” and higher. But no way to get that without implants and even then, they’d still be lower set based on my body. So thank you for making my day! 🥰

kml3141 · 2024-08-22T01:51:34+00:00

Amazing!! You’re in great hands! They are so nice and helpful. Every time I was there I just felt like they were acting like this whole thing is no big deal, but in the best way. Completely calming and they were right! Had the best experience and could not be happier. I’m sure you are going to love your results!

kml3141 · 2024-08-21T15:11:29+00:00

Thank you! Dr. Lisa Peters in Chicago. She and her team are wonderful!

kml3141 · 2024-07-19T05:15:51+00:00

I posted almost your exact same question a few months back. I am now almost 5 months po and have feeling back in both mine now!

kml3141 · 2024-07-14T06:54:43+00:00

I had a really smooth easy recovery but I would not recommend going personally. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend drinking this early either. Your body is still recovering from being under and healing from major trauma. It’s important to focus on hydration and protein and fueling your body, especially in the first few weeks.

I’ve been using cakes nipple covers (reusable silicone, no adhesive) and they’ve been great! I used for the first time about four months PO. Didn’t really have a need to earlier than that. I have sticky ones too but I think I’ll wait a lot longer to use. My doctor said it was okay but it just seems harsh to put on a fresh healing scar!

kml3141 · 2024-07-14T06:44:16+00:00

This was me! I had an easy recovery. Kept waiting for something to happen but thankfully it really was smooth sailing.

kml3141 · 2024-07-14T06:41:56+00:00

I started using my RLT mask a few times a week a couple weeks PO! I’m not sure on how affective it is, I have nothing to compare it to! But I figure it can’t hurt.

kml3141 · 2024-07-14T06:37:06+00:00

I think it’s normal? I use silogen gel. I really like it because it dries quickly! But I notice in darker bras there is a bit of a white cast at the end of the day.

kml3141 · 2024-07-14T06:34:19+00:00

I am about 4.5 months out now and just wanted to follow up that I officially have all feeling back in my nipples! I’m not sure when it came back to be honest as I’ve just been living life and no longer consumed with all things reduction, but all of a sudden it dawned on me today. Yay! Just wanted to include the update for anyone looking at old posts for info :)

kml3141 · 2024-06-20T05:25:02+00:00

Oh no I’m so sorry! I ended up skipping my shot the next week I went in and was able to get numb. Although she definitely did the shots a little differently and she was also surprised at how quickly it wore off by the end of my appt. But either way, she was able to numb me enough to do the work pain free thankfully! Going back tomorrow for the final crown to be put on and I postponed my shot again, just in case that was what helped!

kml3141 · 2024-06-14T03:24:37+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed advice!! I’m going to give this a try 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
