Episode 13: Rosie O'Donnell Shows Up for Weight Loss Meds

Rosie O'Donnell is a type 2 diabetic who wants everyone to have access to weight loss medications affordably.
Pitch to Media (copy and paste to the media)
A community podcast called The Plus SideZ serves the GLP-1(Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy) obese community. As a guest on my podcast, Rosie O’Donnell, a type 2 diabetic, was the first diabetic celebrity to say these groundbreaking weight loss meds need to be available to all affordably. She is publicly offering to rep Mounjaro for Eli Lily FREE if they only extend the $25 coupon that is ENDING June 30th, 2023. The coupon made this LIFE-CHANGING medication accessible to countless individuals over the last year whose lives have been transformed by its effectiveness. Here’s the link.
Episode 13: • Episode 13: Rosie O'D...

I want this medication to just stop the war in my brain over my weight and addiction to eating. I desperately want peace and don’t know how I will ever be able to get it.

Just like it is unacceptable to exclude a race or a gender, it is also unacceptable for these insurance companies to exclude weight managment in their coverages.

    And I was literally a bean pole until my thirties and could pretty much eat what I liked and not gain weight. Then at 38 and two children later, I took antidepressants and gained 18 kgs in 10 months. I am now 52 (pre-diabetic, high blood pressure and in menopause) and have not to this day been able to lose this weight and I have tried EVERYTHING - now 25 kg overweight. Finally there is some light at the end of the tunnel early in my GLP-1 journey - feeling hopeful 🙏🏻😻

    My Dr has told me that I am pre-diabetic. I’m a 63 yr old female. I also had the vertical gastric sleeve at 50. I lost 100 pounds in a year. 5 yrs ago I fell and hurt my back. My activity stopped because of the inability to walk. Well, with depression and not moving I gained 60 pounds. I am going to a dr on the 29 to begin taking whatever she recommends. What I have realized in researching Mounjaro is the mental voice that torments me isn’t unusual. People are saying that the voice isn’t there any more. I’ve cried so much because of the validation that I’m not crazy. Thank you so much for this interview. Thank you Rose for being so honest and vulnerable. I just want to be healthy. Thank you !!!

    I rarely agree with Rosie .....but as a fellow Long Islander of a certain age....she goes straight to the heart of this issue. I've been on Mounjaro for one year, and it changed my life. Lost 52 pounds. In a safe way. I understand the risks, but the benefits are there. The food noise is gone.

    O wow Rosie! It took me until I was in my 50s to understand that I sabotaged myself because of sexual abuse that happened as a child and went on into late 20s as I continued to allow it to happen with others. I finally knew I was worth something and did not deserve that kind of treatment. I ended up at 105 but I'm only 5'2. Once I got pregnant I started gaining. They didn't discover that my pregnancy caused diabetes. After that I actually loved getting less attention. I didn't catch eyes when I entered the room. I didn't have stalkers. I didn't have people trying to pull me over on the road or following me home. I look back and see I did this for myself but now I have serious health issues. I think what have I done to myself? Now I am a strong person. I can tell people no I'm not married nor do I have anyone in my life but I don't want anyone in my life like that. I'm Happy! Now I just want to get healthy not only for me but my family. They do need me to be around. At least right now lol. I do have diabetes. I have not found a medicine that helps me without severe fast drops in my sugar. My doctor is actually scared for me. She is worried about a heartache, stroke, or coma, and death. She's telling me if you could get the weight of I think you would recover. I've been searching. I think I want to try this. I appreciate this group of women sharing your personal stories. Getting the weight off will help me. I try eating right and do great for awhile but I have a hard time because I eat when I hurt and I do have some issues that can't be helped at this time some because of the diabetes. I think the weight coming off will help that as well. I just hope to be able to get extra skin removed (I know it's gonna happen) lol. Going to my heart doctor tomorrow to get his opinion and then making that appointment with my family doctor. Wish me luck and this medicine helps and doesn't disappoint me. I want to be here for my family and of course myself. Love to you all and thank you all!

    Thank you Rosie O’Donnell for speaking up and sharing your experience strength and hope! I hope you can use your fame to do good things for this movement. I pray that Lilly takes you up on your offer to be a spokesperson for Mounjaro. I totally understand the food chatter in your head and with me too, the noise stopped after my first dose back on November 28 2022. I’m down 50 and i actually wanted to be 165 but have gotten to 145. I want to drop doses back to 2.5 or 5.0. I’ve been on 7.5 for a few months. But i am worried that if i am not able to get mounjaro that all that noise will come back. I am currently paying 25$ and that is doable but i am 60 and I’m a lunchroom lady full time and i cut hair from my home and i instacart to make extra money. Lazy i am not but i can only afford a small portion for medications. It’s so frustrating. Anyway, i didn’t mean to over share… mounjaro has changed my life. I’m proud to represent a positive outcome.

    Thanks to Rosie! I started in Dec Mounjaro as well…i had lost 40 lbs for the millionth time in my life and knew when i began gaining again that I needed to finally give in to medication. Obesity genetics here and overweight off and on since age 6. Im 60 and just can’t do the yoyo anymore…life of torture re weight and thoughts of foood.. OMG the difference that this medication has made for me. I absolutely cannot believe the effect either that this medication has made on my mind re thoughts around food. I have genetics for this and it helps!!! Finally…it isn’t my fault..confirmed when you see a medication can take the obsessive thoughts around food completely away. I am blown away that I can now eat a normal portion and actually “be happy” about it. Lol. I just cannot do the yoyo again and my dr told me this is for life for me…I really hope nothing comes up that makes it necessary for me to go off of the medication. I believe that the prior thought around “emotional eating”, Bulimia ect will be turned on it’s ear as not based on “trauma” dysfunctional family dynamics” ect. 100 percent. With this medication..I feel normal….just wish I had had the meds at age 20 vice 60..but better late than never. Wonder how life “could have been different” if I had had this medication when young.

    I was on Ozempic for 6 weeks then my insurance wouldn’t cover it. Yet my A1c dropped from 6.4 to 5.1. I lost 15 lbs and felt the same Rosie shared, just not distracted by food noise. I just was not hungry. About 3 weeks after I was taken off of it, I became so hungry. And I know it’s biological and psychological. Now my weight has come back, and I’ve had a small heart attack, an NSTEMI. Sadly I’m hoping I’m “bad enough” now my insurance will reconsider coverage. I can’t afford the $1150 a month otherwise.

    I say this with love…fire him & tell him why. Its the only thing that will make these doctors get educated on how to treat this complex disease. Talk to an obesity specialist, endocrinologist, or a bariatric specialist that will prescribe GLP1s. You’re not alone. It’s not your fault.
