Nearly two years of semaglutide, and I've lost 50lbs, and am still gradually losing weight. My goal weight is about 15-20lbs away. I credit the majority of my weight loss to changing my diet, with help of the Rx. I do exercise more, but I think that diet has played a larger factor in my weight loss.

I'm at a point that certain clothes are too big for me now, and I donate and replace them. I have some old clothes that I fit in once again. But there are a lot of pieces that I still wear, just looser and more comfortably.

I'm currently taking Semaglutide from a compounding pharmacy, but was given a Rx for Zepbound by my doctor, that I have not yet started taking.

I do have concerns if I ever stopped taking a GPL agonist medication, that I may gain weight back, and struggle to keep my weight down long term. But I am enjoying the results, and have developed a lot more healthier habits.

My only concern is that my insurance stops covering it one day. So far, they only approved 6 months of coverage.

I hear you. It’s a huge concern unfortunately. and one I might be facing in a few months. Take a look at what I posted yesterday about CVS Caremark :/ My husband opted for bariatric surgery because of this risk.
