[quote=Anonymous]Was surprised today when at my doctors visit, my doctor said I could be prescribed Zepbound if I wanted it because I have co-morbidities (pre diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol) with BMI at 27. I have heard stories of people losing massive amounts of weight with GLP-1s, but fewer stories of people with less weight to lose. Can anyone share their experiences? I am very afraid of the side effects, and if it were just for weight loss I don't think I would do it. However, diabetes and hypertension and heart disease run in my family. At 50, I am also concerned about cognitive decline and I have heard that these drugs can be neuro-protective, so that is really appealing.

I currently exercise, but also am a stress eater and have not managed to break that habit on my own. Can anyone share their experiences on these drugs for moderate weight loss? I plan to follow up with the doc at next visit, but didn't have time to ask all the questions I had. Do you stay at a lower dose for lower BMI? Are there fewer side effects at lower dose? What happens when you reach BMI 24.9? Does insurance no longer cover and you go off of it or pay for it on your own? Thanks in advance![/quote]
