I’m coming up on my 10 year anniversary this spring of VSG in Mexico. I could not get insurance coverage even though I was 100 plus overweight. I had no health issues so they said NO. I paid out of pocket as a single Mom but lost 120 lbs which was well worth the money ($4500). Taking my health into my own hands was empowering. All I can say is Health Insurance Companies suck!

[@LaurenBrazee]

Amen sister they SUCKKKKKKK! Congratulations that’s amazing!

[@Wendeee5]

Very true 😂l❤❤ but congrats

[@alexandracristinnn]

Money WELL spent!! Go girl... Health is process. It sucks it's not covered!

Glad to hear you’re still on track after stopping the shots. You’ve worked so hard. Lots of good info in this video. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@lisabarellano6654]

I’ve been on monjouro for 4 months. My A1C down 3.6 points but have only lost about 8 pounds. On 7.5 injection. I try to work out 30 min day as I’m waiting on knee replacement next month. You’re doing great by the way!!!!

On Ozempic my A1C went from 12 to 6.7 in three months.

[@MaxsMom-bv6hf]

I am currently on Oz and the mental change toward food to me is not a shortterm "tool" to change my eating habits or relationship with food. I am one of the fortunate people to not suffer any digestive issues so for me it is now a nessity just like a diabetic taking insulin or another med for a health issue. The food inpulse control is everything to me and others.

[@brendajohnson9297]

Semaglutide gave me a pancreatitis reaction. It hurt so bad. I am on Mounjaro for the second month. At least it doesn't hurt. Thank you for your video.

Lauren I work in Pharmacy and it's so crazy what people are willing to pay out of pocket for these types of things Mounjaro $1,200, Ozempic and Wegovy. Although Wegovy is really hard to get we haven't had any other than the lowest dose in for months.

[@KOOLGREENS]

Yes my insurance didn't cover it. So I had to pay for zepbond. I haven't taken it yet. I wanted to do a water fast first

[@HotFlushSummer]

It’s so weird because here in the U.K. you’ll pay no more than £209 per month privately including health coaching and a full online programme of support. The way US pharma companies hike the price of medications to people is sort of criminal. Please note the payment above is for a private prescription, no insurance, no NHS subsidy. In Europe at this moment in time, all private healthcare is a fraction of what you have to pay and it’s always such a shock when you first meet someone or read something about the vast difference. It’s not as if taxes are any lower (than the U.K. at least) as far as I know either, so it seems horrendously unfair that people have to sacrifice so much, sometimes just for the basics. We feel so sorry for US people here from that point of view, I just don’t know how they justify selling the exact same brand name pharmaceuticals at such a high cost to the quality of people’s lives 💔

UHC pulled the plug on my coverage at the end of oct. because I am not type 2 diabetic. I have 3 shots left and I guess that is the end of the line, which is depressing since I have lost 65 pounds. It's completely insane to me that insurance would prefer to wait until someone develops an awful chronic disease before they are deserving of help.

[@rgolden9489]

I am in the same boat! I've lost 55 pounds, my numbers came back great and according to my insurance company. I am cured! 🙄

[@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64]

Try something else like Phentermine. $8.79 a month without insurance. There are other things that work way better than these Diabetes drugs. Some people lose like 8 pounds in 4 months. Wth? That is totally not worth it when there are more effective alternatives.

[@lyndeeluu]

Why do you like mounjaro better? I was thinking about trying that one.

[@PinkOwl31]

You could have kept moving up in doses and just split the doses yourself. You'd have a stockpile of mounjaro by now! Its awesome that you only needed 2.5 to have progress. I wish i could have stayed there. Im nervous about taking high doses, but i know i have to do what i need to do.

[@Stephen4438990]

Thanks for sharing. I'm 4 weeks in and curious how the end will play out whenever I'm done. Side note, my OCD getting the better of me here, but I'm still waiting to hear a single KZbinr pronounced the name of the drug right. It is not MOON-JAHR-O. I've heard MOON, MUN, and MON at the beginning, and JERO, JARNO, JERNO, at the end lol. Eli Lilly pronounces the drug MOWN-JAHR-OH, like MOUNt KilimanJARO.

Thanks for sharing! Also, I have that same shirt 🤣

[@DNB7227]

The best thing I could've done was take myself off mounjaro. It wasn't for me, at all. literally have 5 months of mounjaro that I will not take. Like you, I could only take the lowest dose because the 5mg it. Side effects I experienced was it made me cranky, hair loss, intestinal issues like severe constipation, and my skin started looking old. So no. I'm now on the intermittent fast and plan is to start working out.

[@evienj68]

Why are these meds so expensive in the US? In the UK we are paying £150 maximum a month some places are cheaper for mounjaro.

[@debbiemeyer2562]

Have you ever looked into Golo? My Dr. wanted me to do Monjaro but I only did it for 1 month and had the $25 card but when they tried to fill again they couldn’t get below $500 so I just didn’t pursue it. My husband now using Ozempic and he likes it. He’s losing weight but I felt Golo took craving away just as good and it’s only $55!

I’m on wegovy and I’ve had great success. I also had weight loss surgery 4 years ago. Just hit my -100 from my surgery weight, and -114 since my highest. I just hit 178, can’t Eden remember the last time I was that weight. It’s almost unreal.

[@ditzychic1031]

Oh and I’m a medical 💨 as well! Totally for medicinal

[@ditzychic1031]

@@HandcraftedintheFoothills I was at a stall for over 2 years. I was only able to lose around 80lbs with wls. My bariatric dr suggested trying wegovy to jumpstart weight loss again. Surgery helped me significantly, but I do believe that this medication does stabilize some insulin resistance that helps weight loss. I have PCOS, still struggle after surgery with that as well. So it’s very difficult to lose weight with PCOS. They are all tools. This is a life long journey.

Would love to try this myself, weight loss after gastric sleeve has slowed considerably after a year.

[@felixcallan8211]

Thanks for sharing your journey. Hiw did the CBD help? It has only traces of THC so shouldnt be addictive or give a high. Ive tried it before for pain but it didnt seem to make a difference painwise. It did with sleep. Re Ozempic I was nauseous on both the 2.5ml as well as the 5ml of Ozempic. I cut back to 2.5mls again as it was working and the 5ml was out of stock in the pharmacies for weeks as its being used for non diabetics as well. The nausea and fainting spells never went away. Im going to give it another go at end of May. I have to lose weight as need 2 hip replacements. Some of the digestive problems persisted after I came off it. Kefir yoghurt has helped.

[@MrJaxDemon]

Insane how you have to pay $1200 for it. A pen here in the UK is like £145 ($188) Thankfully I can get it on the NHS here but I also know a supplier who sells it via a different brand name for like £100 if needed.

I love you girl and you have a large platform so I just want to correct some of your Misinformation. This medication does not cause severe digestive issues on most people there are people like that do have side effects from it and those people need to speak to their doctors, but for the most part, that’s not the case for most people And the stomach paralysis is a thing with diabetic people as diabetes can cause that and those are the people that came out saying that this medication caused it which to me its about $$$ It was never seen in any of the trials. GLP ones have been out for almost 20 years, they are not new, just improved. These peptides that are produced in your gut and the reason they help us is because it helps regulate our gut hormones for those of us who have dysregulation it’s def not a medication for everyone but the stomach paralysis I would take that with a grain of salt and who is claiming that. This medication is definitely just a tool you do have to eat right and you do have to exercise and if you are someone who takes it and you can’t eat at all on them and you have severe side effects then this medication is probably not for you because it’s not supposed to feel that way .
