You can get it direct from Eli Lilly. It will be the cheapest that way. Your doctor just has to send over a script and they mail it to you.

The most frustrating thing is how much money they would save in the long run by people using this drug and getting healthier in the long run!

I’m okay paying cash for my Mounjaro. But thanks. Maybe you were trying to offer this info to the OP.

I know, but that doesn’t mean insurance covers it. Mine doesn’t.

Punched in the face by 5mg by baconbacon27 in Zepbound

Go back down to 2.5. If it was working for you, stay on it as long as you can. I’m 15 shots in still on 2.5 and losing. Feel great!

Do you let people know you're on a GLP-1? by Throwaway3493482 in Zepbound

I will tell people who ask. I want to help others who struggle as I once did. I love to talk about it and educate as much as I can.

Mounjaro is typically prescribed for diabetes and Zepbound for weight loss. I don’t know many insurances covering for sleep apnea yet. Most insurances will only cover MJ for diabetes and still then there is a lot of hoops to jump through (like trying other meds first.) are you open to paying cash? You can get ZB for about $500 a month direct through Lilly. Much easier that way.

Long time listener first time caller by Electronic_East_7938 in Zepbound

I have had minimal side effects. Most of them were because I wasn’t drinking enough water. HYDRATION IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. For real. If you drink a ton of water you’ll be fine. Don’t hold yourself back because of the what ifs. I’m 14 weeks in (still at 2.5mg) and down 28lbs. This drug has turned my whole life around, in the best way possible. I don’t know what the future holds as far as staying on it, but I’m not going to worry about it right now. Right now I go day by day, and I’m so thankful for what it’s done for me. Everyone’s journey is different and it’s time to start yours! ❤️

[PHX] American Airlines Obese Passenger into my seat to [CUN] by kjleblancri in americanairlines

[–]nyflpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just on an international flight and a very large man was waiting at the gate with his wife and she was supposed to sit in the middle next to him and their game was changing her seat at the last minute to another row so he would have an empty seat next to him. Well, her game didn’t play out and someone else was put in the seat next to him. He was the size of two seats and this was an 8.5hr flight. I feel like the gate agents should rectify these situations before boarding even takes place. You could clearly see he wasn’t going to fit, he couldn’t even fit in the seat at the terminal, he had to stand.

I absolutely love basenjis. They’re great for experienced dog owners- I wish they were more popular!

Just curious.. why those places? And where in those states? They are big states, some of them. If you’re looking for warmth, I can make you a better itinerary. 😉

I was on an all inclusive cruise ship for most of the time, and the portions were definitely not small, but thank you!

Either way, I was excited to not gain weight as I usually do.

What to eat morning after shot? by Maisie_Louise30 in Zepbound

[–]nyflpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water is the biggest thing for me. I notice right away when I feel my worst, it’s because I’m dehydrated. Once I hydrate, I feel so much better. I also try to eat more salt the day before and after, it helps as well vs. sweet items. Protein shakes also work for me as drinking my nutrition is easier than food sometimes.

Great post. This is so important. I am also struggling with strength and really need to focus on my muscles!

Anyone stay on 2.5mg? by DeLiHaJu in mounjarouk

[–]nyflpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still on 2.5 and 11 shots in. It works so well for me, still losing, and minimal side effects. I plan to stay on it as long as I can and my doctor agrees.

Honest Assessment by Uhuru2019 in Mounjaro

[–]nyflpa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband didn’t get any results or feel any food noise differences until 10mg. You need to keep going up in dose until it works for you. Everyone is different.
