[quote=Anonymous]Article in the WaPo today. Shortages in low doses expected to continue until early next year. Also, a lot of the compounders are sketchy.

I sucked it up after being afraid to commit and started in April. Was on .5 in May when the shortages notices came out. And immediately asked by PPA to fill 1.0 for me while my pharmacy could get it, which she did.  I was prepared to pay OOP for an early fill, but my insurance covered it as a dose change. So I (by the skin of my teeth) got to 1.7 in time. My pharmacy keeps 2.4 in stock for me now.

Not gloating. Actually thanking my lucky stars.  It took me a long time to be ready to really give losing the 100 pounds I need to lose my all.  It would have been devastating to start, see a month or two of real progress, then been put in a holding pattern.

If you are waiting for it hang in there.  And don’t give up (like I probably would have). It’s worth it.  5 months. 47 pounds down. Much lower A1c and cholesterol and able to really work out for the first time since surgery.

Also, try the small, Mom and Pop pharmacies, instead of chains. Mine is prioritizing what it can get for people who are already in the series. So once you start, they won’t give the next dose to a random person who calls and wants it over you.  If you transfer your other prescriptions, establish yourself as a client and put Wegovy prescription on file, they will fill it when they can.  And once they fill it once, you get priority for the next dose. Or, at least that’s how mine does it. [/quote]
