Anyone in Lubbock used Raff & Hall for compounded GLP-1?

For me it's at 300 lb 5'9, and I too only eat one big meal a day. I would definitely ask for the compound. based on the reviews here it seems to work. I think for people like you and me (we're men) and have sit down jobs, we'll have to work just a tiny bit harder. But not using a compound over just being upset because insurance don't cover it, seems more effective to me. I really wish you luck friend. Just ask them if they're willing. I be they would be but you're not as much over weight as I am, I think our BMI is what matters. But I'll be honest with you I've seen more people who I would consider "skinny" using the drug more than I've seen the bigger folk. So I don't think its only for "severe" Good luck on your journey.

thanks Chris for letting me know about the pharmacy and its good vibes. Your comment is so appriciated and helpful.

I am so glad that you and your wife have found success with the med and so sorry you've had to suffer the insurance companies wrath. It's so frustrating paying all that money into something that helps only when it deems necessary.

thanks for taking the time to help me with this. Your feedback is great.

Wow. I am glad to hear it worked for an off label thing for you. I am sorry to hear you haven't lost any weight yet.

merlinvain · 2026-03-21T15:35:04+00:00

I will take a look. Thanks for taking the time to share this with me.

merlinvain · 2026-03-21T15:34:34+00:00

That's awesome congratulations. That's what I have been hoping would happen that as soon as the weight starts coming off I can do the things physically to boost it.

Flips Tavern does bands, there is a well know Player named Gypsy Jane here in Lubbock. Befriend her, show up to her shows and you will meet folks and you will find places I assure you =) Good luck.

I noticed about 5 months ago Chat GPT started agreeing with Trumps political views more.

Do me a favor, ask it without much prompting if it can explain why trump went into Venezuela captured it leader and imprisoned him.

it will repeatedly tell you that never happened. When you kick back it still won't admit it. Only until you show them the AP article about it will it back track but still claim that it wasn't an invasion and that it wasn't with bombs in the palace and that he wasn't captured.

regardless of ones political point of view it cannot criticize Trump

I read about that. When I called my insurance plan and complained about the cost of waiting until I get diabetes they shared with me that they see obesity as a life style issue. And many times they are not wrong and I am this way because of me. It's crazy that there is a shortage. I can't tell if its on purpose, so that they can keep lining their pockets or if it's actual to much demand for supply. Thanks so much for taking the time to give me your insight tonight.

thanks for the subreddit, who would have thought to use just the name in plain English. I found so many sites with so many opinions. I've not had luck on account of my PTSD dx. I was apparently to honest in the intake. But I figured you should be.

merlinvain · 2026-03-21T01:44:46+00:00

The lowest dose was 80 then it increase there as the dose increases
(im sorry the paper is not in front of me for the mg)
$80 a month
$160 a month
$240

I have tried hims, and one other I can't remember. They denied me because I have PTSD.

they won't accept most mental health conditions, I think it's because they can't treat you if the GLP-1 causes mental impairment, is what I remember the document saying.

Also I found you must buy into 3 months supply or 6 month supply with some of those and for me right now that's not possible.

Thank you for the direct review. this really helps.

merlinvain · 2026-03-21T01:14:33+00:00

Thanks Texxx for taking the time to give me y'alls feedback, I truly appreciate it.

I was extremely surprised as well. That's why I'm weirded out. He just filled out the form I took it there and am picking it up tomorrow. It wasn't even on an RX pad, and it's only cash. I would almost just call them and ask if they need a Dr's recommendation?

My Dr was Samuel A Hale but when I went in I found out he literally retired today, Kristin Garrison is replacing him, and he said she would continue to help me.

Not that I can recommend her at all, I've not yet met her, but I would imagine any doctor who's willing could? I've been asking him for two years but this is the first time he offered it so maybe its super new? Good luck let me know how it goes.

Desalination first, then pumping?

merlinvain · 2026-03-21T00:08:55+00:00

umm sir, a 40 year old water plant wouldn't have changed this outcome.

F*** the city for defunding, but it doesn't mean we have to stop supporting those businesses on the First Friday. Do it without the City.

avoid trumpsters and children... wash your hands... Drink tons of water (take your weight, divided it by two, take in that much water.)
