I’m a 45-year old woman and I haven’t biked in 15+ years. I used to love it so much - I would bike 80 miles and have a blast. I gained so much weight over the years after an accident and didn’t feel comfortable on a bike.

I’m 62 pounds lighter now and at 182 pounds still have a ways to go but I’m getting there! So I bought a bike and took it out and it felt incredible! Being small enough to ride a bike is a huge, huge victory.

It’s taken me nearly a year to lose this. It will probably take another year to lose the rest. I’ve always been pretty active but I have to restrict pretty severely to lose weight. I am on a GLP-1 at the strong urging of my doctor who could see how hard I worked and how little progress I was making, and it’s helped tremendously.

I’ve really been focusing a lot lately on fiber - chia seeds, lentils, more veggies. That helped kick things into gear too.

Yesterday Chloe from Gimme explained in a comment that “a small group of” patients who tried to sign up during their BPI extravaganza were incorrectly sent starter doses instead of the 15mg maintenance dose due to a “glitch.” She assured everyone affected that it would be taken care of yesterday.

I personally am out $900 for a 6-month supply. My Gimme Care telehealth provider prescribed 15mg. Please read that sentence again before you try to tell me that I had a starter dose prescription. I did not. I have been shorted 290mg of tirzepatide.

My attempts to get this corrected yesterday yielded:

- an email from Juan in customer care that incorrectly stated that what I received was correct for my treatment plan which is a starter dose. It is not. I have a documented prescription that clearly says my dose is 15mg.

- requests for more and more pictures of vials and prescription bottles

- assurances from Chloe that she would update me “soon”

Has ANYONE successfully had this corrected yet?

I joined gimme last week and provided documentation that I’m on a 15mg dose. The doctor prescribed me a maintenance dose of 15mg.

My medication (from BPI) arrived today and it’s not what the doctor prescribed. It appears to be a starter titration schedule.

This is what I got:

1) 1x 1ml Vial at 10/mg/ml strength with these instructions:
Weeks 1-4: inject .15ml (15 units), then inject .3ml subcutaneously

That is 1.5MG of tirzepatide, or 1/10th of the dosage i should be getting. 

2) 1x 3ml Vial at 20mg/10mg/ml strength with these instructions:
Weeks 5-24: inject .15ml (15 units)

That is 3MG of tirzepatide, or 1/5th of the dosage i should be getting. 

All said I got 70mg of tirzepatide. I should have 360mg.

This is insane. And frankly unsafe.

Do I call gimme or the pharmacy?

We’ll be coming out in summer of 2027. Two kids, ages 7 and 9. It’s part of a bigger trip to California and Washington State.

How long should we plan for Seki?

We’d like to stay at Wuksachi for a couple nights so we can go out early to see the big trees. But it’s pretty expensive so we may then move to somewhere else. How is Montecito? Would it be worth moving there for a couple more nights?
