[quote=Anonymous]First, I'll say that Ozempic treats diabetes, and the same as prescribed for weight loss is Wegovy (the dosing is a bit different). I've been on it since last April and have lost 50 lbs.

I think it is quite clear at this point that if you lose weight on it, and then go off of it, you will gain the weight back. You will hear people say that they have kept the weight off, and they will often brag about their lifestyle changes, but those people tend to have only been off the drug for less than a year. Look at the same people two years after they went off the med, and I'd bet an awful lot the weight will be back, and then some. My doctor says "Obesity is a chronic condition, you will have to stay on Wegovy for life."

My PCP prescribes it for me.

My insurance, fed bcbs standard plan, covers it, but only with 50% coinsurance because it is a Tier 3 drug -- which is a non-preferred brand name drug. I was able to get a tier excpetion, though, so I pay less. I would say that in 2025, though, that typically insurance doesn't cover it at all. You will need to check your formulary. Maybe you will be a lucky one who has full coverage on it. Not likely though. Full price is about $1600 per month. [/quote]
