We want to see your progress!

Hey Gimme fam,
One of the best parts of this community is getting to see people start feeling more like themselves again.

The quieter wins. The confidence coming back. The clothes fitting differently. The moment someone realizes they are actually sticking with something. The “I didn’t think I could do this” turning into “wait… I’m doing this.”

We’d love to celebrate those stories.

We’re looking for Gimme members who are open to sharing before-and-after photos and a little bit about their experience with compounded medications on their weight loss journey. Selected submissions may be featured on our website, social media, emails, and other marketing materials to help encourage people who are just getting started and wondering if they belong here.

And just to be clear, this does not need to be a perfectly polished transformation story. Real progress counts. Small wins count. Messy middle counts. The “I’m still figuring it out but I’m proud of myself” stage absolutely counts.

As a thank-you, everyone who completes the form will receive a $50 credit added to their account.

It only takes a few minutes to submit:
https://form.typeform.com/to/btFfzltt

We really do love seeing the progress, confidence, and community support happening here. Thank you for trusting us with your stories and for letting us be a small part of the work you’re doing for yourself.

Proud of you. Like, genuinely.
Chloe

Update Regarding Apothecary Orders

Hey Gimme Fam!

Just wanted to share a quick update for anyone still waiting on information regarding Apothecary orders.

While we still have somewhat limited information on our end, we have been seeing a lot of positive movement recently. Many member orders have been shipping out, and we’ve also seen several people successfully get updates directly from the pharmacy.

If you’d like to check on your order, you can email them with your full name and order number, and they may be able to provide more details regarding your status or shipping timeline.

Email: info@quakerrx.com

A lot of members have reported receiving responses, tracking updates, or clarification after reaching out, so we wanted to pass that along in case it helps ease some stress while everything continues moving forward.

We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and support, and we’ll continue sharing updates as we receive them.

Important note about BPI orders

If it’s been 5+ days and your BPI order is still sitting in “Sent to Pharmacy” with no movement, there is a chance your order was canceled/voided by Pharmacy Hub (not by Gimme!) due to duplicate BPI orders across telehealth platforms.

This is especially affecting patients using multiple telehealth providers that run on the Bask Health platform.

What’s happening:

Pharmacy Hub appears to be voiding duplicate or overlapping BPI orders for compliance reasons. The problem is that they currently do NOT send a cancellation signal back to our system.

So from our side, your order may still look active and remain stuck in “Sent to Pharmacy” indefinitely, even though the pharmacy has already voided it internally.

We completely understand the frustration, but in many of these cases, the issue is occurring at the pharmacy level.

The biggest trigger we’re seeing:

If you placed a BPI order through another telehealth within the last ~10 days, placing another order elsewhere can cause Pharmacy Hub to void one of them.

We are actively working with Pharmacy Hub’s IT team to improve visibility into these cancellations so members aren’t left in limbo.

For now, please keep this in mind before submitting refill requests or placing additional BPI orders across multiple platforms.

If you are waiting on a dose adjustment, from a BPI please DM me as well. 

If you’re currently stuck in either situation:

To check your order status, send me a chat message. I can look into it and request that your prescription be resent to the pharmacy if needed. I can also request that your order be refunded or canceled if you would prefer that. We’ll process a full refund with no cancellation fee.

Thank you again for your patience!

Hey Gimme fam,

Wanted to share a quick update so people aren’t left guessing.

We spoke with NewLifeRX (the pharmacy that fulfills Apothecary orders), and they’re currently out of stock (again). The inventory they received last week has already been fully allocated.

From what they told us, this is largely due to a broader industry issue. Demand is outpacing production right now, so it’s not isolated to just one provider.

Current timeline:
They’re expecting their next restock around May 11.

If your order is affected, here are your options:

1. Stay in the queue and wait. No action needed. Just keep in mind the current estimate is about ~10 days until the next batch is available.

2. Request a full refund. No cancellation fees. You can get your money back to your original payment method if you’d rather not wait. This will only be for Apothecary orders. Send me a message or send support at hi@gimme.care this message:

>“I’d like to cancel my Apothecary order and request a full refund. I understand there are delays, so I’d prefer not to wait. Please let me know once it’s been processed. Thanks for your help.”

Also worth noting: if your order has already shipped (or you get a shipping confirmation soon), this won’t apply to you. The ai in chat WON’T help you with your return. Please send an email to hi@gimme.care or click the button that says “Speak to a Human,” in the window. 

I know this isn’t ideal, especially if you have been waiting for a while, and I apologize for the wait. Hope this helps clear things up a bit and gives you some more direction.

We are working directly with the executive team at the NewLifeRX to see if we can get dedicated inventory for our community here on Reddit.

Thanks for your patience!

Hey y'all, some of you have recently had BPI orders with Gimme cancelled by the pharmacy without any explanation, so I reached out to The Pharmacy Hub and here's what I learned:

The Pharmacy Hub (a BPI fulfillment pharmacy, who Gimme uses for all our BPI orders) is cancelling what they describe as duplicate orders; where a patient creates multiple orders to The Pharmacy Hub but via multiple telehealth providers.

For example, if you ordered BPI from multiple telehealth's that use The Pharmacy Hub as a fulfillment pharmacy, The Pharmacy Hub may ship the first order you created, but cancel any subsequent orders made within a certain time period, even if the subsequent orders were via different providers.

If you've been affected by this, please DM me so I can help get this resolved.

Also, during the launch of this pharmacy partner, we had a bug live for a few hours where 15 mg dose patients were incorrectly labeled as 1.5 mg. Thus, this group of patients were only sent 1 vial instead of 3. We're correcting this, if you're in this group of people you should see an update in your portal today, but if not then please reach out to me via DM.

Lastly, I know it's been really chaotic with all the pharmacy issues lately. Thank you for all of your patience!

Hey y’all. I’d like to address the claims circulating on Reddit that ‘Gimme hasn’t paid Apothecary’ or that we sent the wrong prescriptions.

So, what happened?

Some patients have had their NewLife (an Apothecary fulfillment pharmacy, also known as Quaker) orders delayed after they’d run out of inventory (we posted about this recently).

A few of these patients called NewLife and spoke to a pharmacy tech, she claimed (falsely) that:

  • “Gimme has not paid their bill”
  • “Gimme is sending the wrong prescriptions”

I can confirm that this isn’t true, we spoke with the pharmacy tech on a call; she admitted that she was misinformed and shouldn’t have passed the blame onto Gimme. She hadn’t heard from her leadership team and made the assumption that we (Gimme) had not paid our bill, despite that not being the case.

To clarify: 

  • At no point did Gimme withhold payment or funds from NewLife
  • The prescriptions sent by your prescriber were received by Bask (our software partner) and sent to NewLife with no issue.

Here’s a statement directly from NewLife’s CEO to attest to this:

>“Dear Gimme Care,

We have been informed that one of our employees has been giving wrong information to some patients who had reached out to an operational phone number. The employee has been notified by her supervisor. The orders we received are fine and being processed based on product availability.

Patients should reach out to Gimme Care regarding any issues with their orders.  

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. 

Regards,
Ramin Montazeri
Co-Founder & CEO at NewLifeRX”

I'd like to mention that the intent of this post isn't to put Jenna or NewLife on blast, mistakes happen! I did feel it was necessary to set the record straight though given the amount of speculation I've seen that was based on false information that simple isn't true.

I hope this clears everything up, happy to answer any questions y'all have to the best of my ability!

TL;DR: the claims that have been made on Reddit are false, confirmed by the pharmacy tech who made them, and the CEO of the pharmacy (NewLife Rx).

We’ve reached out to our pharmacy partners and have been told we have BPI inventory still on hand and will have for the foreseeable future!

Most of our members are seeing their orders ship within 2-days if not the same day.

You can view BPI (with a six-month shipped up front option), Apothecary, Hallandale and other pharmacy options below:

BPI - Compounded Tirzepatide with B6 (503b) - $185 p/m; $447 quarterly

- 1 month: $185
- 3 month: $447

- 6 months: $897

Link (Reddit only): https://get.gimme.care/start-online-visit/reddit
Important: must use this link to receive this pricing.

  • BUD: up to 1 year
  • Any dose
  • Ships to all 50 states
  • 180 mgs – 3 vials of (20mg/ml - 3ml vials)
  • Price per mL on doses 13.5 and higher: $2.48 m/l

Some notes on BPI: If you notice the concentration difference between Hallandale and BPI, you will see BPI is higher. Based on your provider's recommendation, you may have to inject fewer units than with other concentrations. Always speak with your provider, but I just wanted to call this out since it is a new-to-us formulation. Your provider determines which option is appropriate for your prescription, and fulfillment may vary based on state and availability.

Apothecary Pharmacy - Non-additive Compounded Tirzepatide formulation:

  • 1 month: $199
  • 3 month: $497
  • 216 mg total (3 vials @ 72 mg)
    • Cost per mg: $2.30
  • Non-additive formulation
  • Ships to all 50 states
  • 6-month BUD
  • Any dose

Important: must use this link to receive this pricing.

Hallandale Pharmacy (non-additive)- $185 p/m or $447 quarterly

Hallandale - Compounded Tirzepatide with no additives (503a)
- 1 month: $185
- 3 month: $447

Link (Reddit only): https://get.gimme.care/start-online-visit/reddit
Important: must use this link to receive this pricing.

  • BUD: ~90 days
  • Any dose
  • Does not ship to: AL, AR, CA, HI, KS, MI, MN, MS, MA
  • 180 mgs – 3 vials of (15mg/ml - 4ml vials)
  • Price per mL on doses 13.5 and higher: $2.48 ml

Some notes on Hallandale: The quarterly plan can come with all three vials, or only two vials, with a second vial being shipped depending on BUDs. Because this is a 503(a), they can only list 90 BUDs. Their formulary hasn’t changed since last year, when the BUDs were one year, but because of new regulations, they can only list 90 days on the vials.

What this means for you: If you order a quarterly plan, and you only receive TWO vials, you will receive a third one before the end of your treatment. You do not have to do anything additional; it will ship when their next batch of treatments is ready to go. Not all quarterlies will come with two vials, some will come with all three vials. It just depends on the pharmacy’s batch date and the date of your order. If 90-day BUDs are available at the time you order your quarterly plan, you will get all three. If the BUDs of the current batch do not reach the end of your medically necessitated treatment plan, Hallandale will ship your final vial before you reach the third month.

Apothecary Pharmacy Delays
If you placed an Apothecary order within the last 10 days, I wanted to share a quick update. Their fulfillment partner, Quaker Pharmacy, temporarily ran out of inventory, which created a delay on some pending shipments. They’ve let us know that shipping is expected to begin again on Wednesday, and those delayed orders should start moving out as inventory is restored.

I know delays like this are frustrating, especially when you’re trying to stay on schedule, and I really appreciate everyone’s patience while this gets sorted out. We’re staying close to the pharmacy on these orders and will keep pushing for clean, fast follow-through as they resume fulfillment.

Sync States Visits and Why Some Patients Get Their Orders Faster
Some patients are seeing delays and some are not because state telehealth rules are different, and that changes how quickly a provider can authorize treatment.
In some states, a provider has to complete a live synchronous visit before a prescription can be authorized. That adds an extra step and can slow things down compared with states where async intake or follow-up is allowed.

Here’s the breakdown:

Sync required for both intake and follow-ups:
DC, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico

Sync required for intake only, but async follow-ups allowed:
Arkansas, Georgia, New Mexico, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Dakota

What that means in practice is that two patients can submit around the same time and still move at different speeds. If one patient is in a state where a live provider visit is required, their order may take longer than someone in a state where the provider can review and authorize asynchronously.

So when you see some orders moving faster than others, it’s not always a pharmacy issue or a queue issue. A lot of the time, it comes down to the rules in that patient’s state and whether a sync visit is required before the prescription can move forward.

I am working my way through the inbox every day, and if you haven’t heard back you will soon! With all of the pharmacy panic, my inbox for DMs is over 100 every morning but I am trying to get it down tonight!

Thank you guys!
Chloe
