I’ve had no issues getting my prescription filled in DC. Friend is taking Ozempic and lives in VA (Alexandria/FC County). Zero issues.

Can you share which Pharmacy? I have an rx for Wegovy and CVS near me is all out. My insurance is covering it thanks to me having a BMI that puts me at obese. I guess that’s one upside,

I am increasingly confident that some fit/thin people are angry that others won't be so fat anymore.

Nailed it. FACTS. This is the answer.

Some people think shame is a net positive. That’s their perspective but not one shared by the medical professionals helping me lose weight. Out of the obese range in one month on Saxenda!

Here is an article in today’s Post about semaglutides (Hopefully the link works. It’s a gift article link.)

So do you have to be on those medications forever? What happens when you hit a healthy weight?

Get f-ed. Seriously. My doctor thought it was beneficial for me to get on Ozempic since I was on BP meds, and was about to get on cholesterol meds. You're actually feeling sorry for the big pharma not producing enough of the medication that is helping people lose weight and get healthier. You are what is disgusting.

Well if you were smart enough to figure out why there is a shortage maybe you would be getting somewhere. If you want to get hooked on big pharma instead of buckling down and doing the hard work to correct your health ship, go right ahead. I can guarantee that’s a garbage long term solution.

Your doctor is giving you meds because they know compliance is effectively zero.

Or maybe, just maybe, if close to zero percent of people succeed at losing weight long term “doing the hard work” it’s not actually a failure by humans but a failure in the method. Humans are wired the way we’re wired. We know conclusively that dieting doesn’t work, so let’s figure out something else.

That’s nonsense that gets spewed by people that can’t handle changing their habits. All of that is possible. You don’t need “miracle” drugs.

It’s a failure that only appeared in the last 50 years. It takes a lot of conscious work to gain all that weight. Just like it takes a lot of conscious work to take it off. I did it and I’ve maintained it.

No way would I ever sign up to be a slave to big pharma. You would think after the last two years of insanity that people would be running away from that. Guess not. Good luck saddling yourself with a life time of compliance by chemistry.

I’m so tired of people like you spewing this sh8t to feel superior. Does it make your day to be a hateful bi$!h? Or maybe you’re just a good natured Samaritan trying to tell us the truth we’ve all been too stupid and too stubborn to see. Or maybe you’re a scientist who has studied obesity your whole life and has irrefutable evidence that your method works (even though it hasn’t). Or maybe just maybe you don’t know a damn thing but are hateful and arrogant enough to keep coming back to be an ass to people just trying to do their damn best with the cards they were given.

I really hope someone kicks you when you’re at your lowest.

I guess one of the side effects is irritablity

You take a maintenance dose likely for the rest of your life.

The entire world is against them. I can’t imagine how exhausting being a victim is all the time.

Has anyone used trulicity for weight loss?

My sister has struggled with weight gain from her meds for another condition since we were teens and ozempic has been a game changer for her.

[Anonymous]

I’m a relatively thin person who hopes ppl taking this lose weight. No issues with others being thin.
But I’d like it to be easier to stay thin. Isn’t that a good enough reason for me to use something as well?

[Anonymous]

I honestly how we get to a place where semaglutises are affordable and widely available to anyone who struggles w diet/overeating. I have a normal bmi but I’ve struggled so much to lose baby weight and I would love something to help me beat my cravings

Wegovy is supposed to begin shipping again in a couple of weeks at lower doses. Just hold on a little longer. Check Amazon and even independent pharmacies
