ok, so my insurance has informed me they'll no longer cover any glp-1 for any reason other than type 2 diabetes (which i do not have) - so i'll be coming off tirz soon - one of the side effects that i didn't know these meds could help with was inflammation. before these shots, when ANY pressure (even my husband laying his arm on me at night in bed) on my abdomen would be physically uncomfortable (and would eventually be painful if the pressure stayed past a couple minutes). all dr's said i was fine and had no reasoning for it - but within maybe 2-3 shots, that pain just stopped. i've been on this since may 2023 and i haven't had any of that discomfort this whole time.
did you have this? did the shots get rid of it for you? did it come back when you stopped? how did you handle it? tia

So, as of Sept 1 this year, BCBS won’t cover any glp-1 for any reason other than diabetes (which I don’t have, they won’t even cover it for sleep apnea which I do have). I’ve been maintaining on 12.5 for a year now, I’ve got 6 months supply in my fridge (I have no idea how I accumulated it, but I’m not complaining). I’m so scared. I’ve changed my eating habits, I go to the gym 5x a week. I’m down 160lbs. I cannot go back, but I can’t afford it without insurance ($30/month is affordable, anything else isn’t). Who’s come off it, kept their life changes, and NOT gained the weight back?

And the love between Eliot and Margo is just the most wonderful, wholesome thing in the world. They will forever be my favorite characters, and their friendship is the best relationship ever.

Anyone been here? Do you have to know what you’re doing to go? My husband and I wanna go just to see what it’s about and try it out but we have no idea how to do it, but also not sure if we wanna do a class. Soooooo, thoughts? Experiences? Thanks! 😊
