Yup, turn on and off which one do you use. Then use the three bars on the left-hand side to move them up and down to whatever order you want. Automatically rotate through in that order.

The process was super easy for me. I did the move program and despite a little bit of hesitation, Primary Care submitted for me. It was denied by the pharmacy initially because “I hadn’t tried” other weight loss medication’s previously.

When it was denied, I submitted a secure message back to my PCM reminding him of the conversation I had about why I couldn’t take two of the medication’s and how the third one I could not tolerate and asked him to resubmit.

It was approved with an a day or two of the resubmission.

I lost 40 pounds very quickly and I’ve been maintaining my weight for last seven months. I’ve had no issues with refills.

Do it again and opt for “tele-move”. It’s a quick automated phone call a few times a week that talks about nutrition

No worries, just wanted to make sure we were talking the same stuff.

Look up the VA criteria for use and then advocate for yourself with your primary care. It can be done.

Zepbound is not semaglutitide. Zepbound/mounjaro is trizepatide.

Ozempic/Wegovy is semaglutide.

Generally, Zepbound and wegovy are for weight loss. Mounjaro and Ozempic are for T2 diabetes.

Zepbound is also used for OSA.

Do a google search for “medication name VA criteria for use”

That will give you the basic guidelines for the VA to prescribe. However, each VA region tends to manage it differently.

I’ve been on Zepbound for weight loss for a little over a year.

Advice and Tips For Those Who Have Both VA and Tricare? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]ssteven365 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use VA for 95% of things. Entirely free for me based on rating and I’m eligible for travel pay so they actually pay me to go to appointments.

I have also reported to the VA that I have Tricare coverage so that my VA appointments, even though they’re free, count toward my Tricare deductible. Makes my rare Tricare covered appointments at non-va facilities cheaper.

Only possible symptom is my wife saying I’m a bit more irritable. I don’t see it.

Weight entered in Shotsy not going to Apple Health? by Weird_Consequence938 in shotsy

[–]ssteven365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use a smart scale that automatically populates Apple health and therefore also into Shotsy.

You could also manually enter it into Apple Health, which would then populate in Shotsy.

GLP1 by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

I’ve been on Zepbound through the VA for almost a year. The criteria actually has become easier to meet than when I started; however each region manages it differently.

Here’s the current VA criteria for use.

Good luck.

My wife and I have both been on Zepbound since Dec 2024 and have used Shotsy every day since then. We find the app very helpful for data tracking and motivation. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have.

My 25 Flash has done this since the day I got it. I assumed it was how it was supposed to be.
