Has he lost too much weight???

Ozempic is not a magic bullet, and I wouldn't advise taking it for weight loss absent an obesity problem with comorbidities.

Most of this will depend on your insurance.
It's not hard to find a dr to prescribe it. I just gained weight because of menopause. Went from 145 to 162 at 5'4"
I have high cholesterol and triglycerides and my dr said insurance does not care about any of this.
I have UHC but our particular plan excludes weight loss meds so there is nothing I can do.

I'm going to start compounded Zepbound soon. It is very reasonably priced. I couldn't swim $1300 a month for these meds.


You can't get it or any of these medications anywhere reliably just FYI

You are actually only around 15-20 lb overweight- so it is even less likely

What is your current height and weight?


According to online calculator, 27.3-ish. 5’4”, I’ve been around 155-159ish for a while now.


With that BMI, you would also need another weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.

Depends on your height and comorbidities? If you are BMI 27 plus a weight related comorbidity OR BMI 30? If so, then yes. Otherwise no. See your doctor to discuss weight loss, either with or without medication.

Does this really need to be another thread?
