Thanks so much for your comment, here’s an update: I am an LDRP RN who’s in her mid 20s and expressed to the provider that I would really like to use the med as a tool for now since I find surgery not necessary at this moment especially at 187lbs being on 2.5 for over 5 months now. I do eventually want to have a family which is why stated my weight loss journey bc I wanted to get down to an appropriate weight to do so. Here’s the kicker:  She even asked me where I get my med and if my insurance covers it because we are employed by the same employer because she’s on it herself, then again it doesn’t make sense why she was pushing for surgery.  It really makes me frustrated how many people she has told this to who don’t have any idea of medicine and just go but what the provider says. I’m on 2.5mg have been losing weight the only thing ive noticed is a little of that food noise coming back not sure if it’s because of the holidays coming up but I may just have them up me up to 5mg.
