I find it it highly suspicious that a bunch of morbidly obese celebs who have never been thin are suddenly thin and it all happens to coincide with the reports of the wide use of semaglutides to the point that they created shortage. I live in europe and guess what, every day there are reports of local celebrities losing 50-100 pounds. how come everyone is "eating healthy and exercising" all of a sudden. |
What does it matter to you? Are they obligated to tell everyone all the details? And to use these medications you do need to add in exercise and eat healthy. |
Not trying to be snarky but how do you know they had gastric bypass if they didn’t admit to it? Did they tell someone else and that’s how you found out? |
it matters to me because it creates an impression that losing weight is easy with the right mindset. I am on ozempic myself so well aware that you need to change your habits to lose weight. but the drug makes it so much easier to do so. hiding such a major factor in one's success is disingenuous. |
How are people getting prescriptions when they’re not diabetic? I’m not even allowed to pay out of pocket - Tricare. |
If they don’t go around boasting about all this who TF are you to act as if it is “disingenuous.” Here is the meaning of that term: not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does. My experience, being that I’ve been through a big change in lifestyle and weight loss, is people won’t leave you alone about it. And it’s annoying and disrespectful. I don’t want to talk about it and never did. I don’t have a secret even though one colleague keeps saying I do, directly to my face. I didn’t use any drugs. But that was my experience. Everybody is different when it comes to all this. |
Different insurance plans have different coverage |
My insurance covers Mounjaro for PCOS (i assume) and I have already done metformin previously plus Trulicity recently. |
What insurances cover this? I am switching insurance this fall anyway. |
I don’t even want to use insurance. But they somehow prevent me from buying it on my own too. |
I’m down 72 lb after 10 months on ozembic, watxhing my eating, water and walking or doing weights 5x a week. Nothing too crazy on any of those topics, I still have 20-25 to lose to be at my mid-20s pre-fertility treatment/kids life. At this time I am 10 lb lower than my first pre-pregnancy weight 17 years ago. |
Anyone with a critical thinking brain knows losing weight isn’t easy, none is obligated to tell anyone about how they lost weight. If you’re doing the work of losing weight, however that might be, how do you have time to focus on someone else’s weight loss work. Worry about yourself |
Tricare wouldn’t know if you pay out of pocket if you go to a private Dr and pay for the appointment and get a prescription. |
While I suppose anything is possible, and “medical privacy” of any sort is a complete fantasy anymore, I’m still not convinced that if you went to a cash pay doctor and used a paper scrip at a pharmacy you had not given any insurance information, “they” would have any way of interfering. |
My A1C is down to 5.6
That’s the only “result” that matters. |
