[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to your primary care doctor and get a prescription for a semaglutide. Ozempic and Mounjaro are for pre/current diabetics. Wegovy is exactly the same as Ozempic. It’s just for weight-loss.

I am prediabetic and have lost 20lbs with Ozempic over the past several months. This drug really helps with managing your desire to eat. It’s not a magic pill, but a real solution.

If your primary care doc won’t prescribe, ask for a referral to an endocrinologist. [/quote]

Can she get a prescription from one of the online places? I can’t recall the name. I filled out an intake form once but I didn’t qualify because I take another medication that interacts, so all I was eligible for was the “coaching.” [/quote]

Like Calibrate? Don't do that. The extra fee per month is a waste of money. OP, I cannot help you with doctor names. I've spent the past year trying to get help for the 70 lbs I put on during the spring of 2020 that I have not been able to budge. My primary care provider was nice and sympathetic, but not helpful. She recommended a few different places, including a nutritional counseling center and a health psychology center, both of which focus on weight disorders. I did not find them helpful. I was finally able to get a prescription for Ozempic last month, so while that will eventually suppress my appetite, I am still looking for help getting the other pieces (mental, emotional, movement, etc.) into place. Good luck. [/quote]
