[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Well, I got it. First injection today. I went with tirzepatide. The lady said it’s slightly more effective and with fewer side effects than semaglutide, and about twice the price. I hope to only use it for three months until I’ve lost 15 pounds. I am really excited. Injection was about two hours ago and I feel no different yet, but I’ll keep you posted. Needle was tiny and I barely felt it. The lady at the spa said she took a semaglutide for six months and lost sixty pounds, and hasn’t regained in the six months since she stopped. She said she felt like it rewired her brain and it brought her back to healthy, normal eating. She said she’s so excited to be back in her skinny jeans that she’s not going back. Hopeful that’s how I’ll feel too![/quote]

I’m a NP- how did you get the prescription? Who did you see and did you have to fudge anything? Thx[/quote]

I’m not in DC. I went to a spa. Several months ago when I was getting my hair cut the stylist gave me a flyer about their semaglutide program. I was taken aback, since I am not obese. I get the distinct feeling that there are zero requirements for them to dispense these meds and they’re marketing it to anyone with a pulse. I weighed in today at 145 and said that my height is 5’5 even though it’s 5’7. I actually asked the lady if they have any restrictions and she said they won’t let you get to a BMI below 19. Quite honestly, it didn’t seem like the most medically professional setting. But the spa is high end, has a good reputation and I have a good friend who has lost nearly 50 lbs through this method and spa so I decided to take the plunge. I am happy and surprised that it was so easy to get the prescription. 30 minute consult that ended with a painless shot in my belly.[/quote]

Wtf OP you are at a healthy BMI already [/quote]
