That is no different than what happens if you stop dieting. The intervention needs to be permanent if you want to permanently maintain the weight loss.

Did you ever go back to that doctor? Did they see your test results?

It depends on the company. Some want a full body pic, others are fine just accepting stats, others want a video intake "interview."

I just got mine online because I'm sure they'd have said no because I'm not overweight enough. Fwiw it's been amazing and I feel like a normal person again (also exercising a lot and eating very well) Will I be on them forever? Maybe. It's fine and I don't mind being on a low dose, not that expensive considering the huge physical and mental benefits.

You can request anything. But requesting ain’t getting.

Get a compound from OrderlyMeds.

I asked my one medical doctor a two years ago and was shot down. Was about 20 lbs overweight with high cholesterol.

Yes

Has anyone had a doctor at one medical prescribe this for them?

Yes. Whether you’ll get it depends on why and on your doctor.

yes, anyone can ask

I'm wondering if it's possible to get a prescription for this even if not technically overweight or diabetic. I've heard it helps with so many other issues (prediabetes, heart issues, etc.) and would like to try it.
