I love the way that Dr. W. notices diet culture and internalized obesity bias in his guests and he very gently tries to counter those biases.

Hi Guys, I'm 2 years and 4 m9nths post RNY. I was recently was put on an elimination plan due to a serious skin issue. Did 8 weeks no dairy no gluten no soy no eggs no peanuts and min sugar. I lost from 148 to 131 I'm 5ft 4. I've had bad reactions to gluten dairy and soy. Off them going forward. Just wondered if you guys have had to put a patient on an elimination diet and if they lost weight. I feel great off gluten dairy and soy I mean blooming yeeha.

Had Roux eh Y in 2016 PT here. In Canada. Just switched to Wegovy 1.7 for dosage increments. Not covered. 400 dollars for 1 month. Was taking Ozempic 1mg 256 dollars but wouldn't last a month. Would have to buy 2 Ozempic Pens.

People may stop wegovy after 2 years because they no longer have access to the drug through their insurance. Actually the PBM may be creating the problem. On the other hand due to the shortages, other people may no longer have access to it. People may move or change jobs and their insurance may change and they may no longer have coverage for wegovy.

Yes! Exactly! Shortages, coverage, and cost are likely the problem.
