This is such great information. Thank you!

I am so sorry I am so late! We moved from our other house and coming here to this house. So we didn't have WIFI here. I love you so much and I am so glad you are in my life! Keep on trucking!

Great job on your journey!!!

So happy that you and your family are thriving. ❤. You’re awesome, go girl!

I’m coming up on my 10 year anniversary this spring of VSG in Mexico. I could not get insurance coverage even though I was 100 plus overweight. I had no health issues so they said NO. I paid out of pocket as a single Mom but lost 120 lbs which was well worth the money ($4500). Taking my health into my own hands was empowering. All I can say is Health Insurance Companies suck!

I'm so glad I found this! I've been thinking about trying this but have hypoglycemia and haven't been able to an answer about how these wight loss/ diabetes drugs would affect it. I was worried a drug that lowers blood sugar would not be good for a person with low blood sugar problems. But if you were able to take it without problems that is a relief to hear! Did you monitor you sugars more often or have any problems with drops more often while on it?

I am currently on Oz and the mental change toward food to me is not a shortterm "tool" to change my eating habits or relationship with food. I am one of the fortunate people to not suffer any digestive issues so for me it is now a nessity just like a diabetic taking insulin or another med for a health issue. The food inpulse control is everything to me and others.

Lauren I work in Pharmacy and it's so crazy what people are willing to pay out of pocket for these types of things Mounjaro $1,200, Ozempic and Wegovy. Although Wegovy is really hard to get we haven't had any other than the lowest dose in for months.

It’s so weird because here in the U.K. you’ll pay no more than £209 per month privately including health coaching and a full online programme of support. The way US pharma companies hike the price of medications to people is sort of criminal. Please note the payment above is for a private prescription, no insurance, no NHS subsidy. In Europe at this moment in time, all private healthcare is a fraction of what you have to pay and it’s always such a shock when you first meet someone or read something about the vast difference. It’s not as if taxes are any lower (than the U.K. at least) as far as I know either, so it seems horrendously unfair that people have to sacrifice so much, sometimes just for the basics. We feel so sorry for US people here from that point of view, I just don’t know how they justify selling the exact same brand name pharmaceuticals at such a high cost to the quality of people’s lives 💔

Thanks for sharing your journey. Hiw did the CBD help? It has only traces of THC so shouldnt be addictive or give a high. Ive tried it before for pain but it didnt seem to make a difference painwise. It did with sleep. Re Ozempic I was nauseous on both the 2.5ml as well as the 5ml of Ozempic. I cut back to 2.5mls again as it was working and the 5ml was out of stock in the pharmacies for weeks as its being used for non diabetics as well. The nausea and fainting spells never went away. Im going to give it another go at end of May. I have to lose weight as need 2 hip replacements. Some of the digestive problems persisted after I came off it. Kefir yoghurt has helped.

You could have kept moving up in doses and just split the doses yourself. You'd have a stockpile of mounjaro by now! Its awesome that you only needed 2.5 to have progress. I wish i could have stayed there. Im nervous about taking high doses, but i know i have to do what i need to do.

Ty so much. But my question with these drugs, Is Skin and also Muscle issues . Ty im new here so maybe you already spoke about it.

Will you go back on with the Zepbound?

I love you Momma Jill! YOUR A ROCK STAR! I have that too!

Thanks for this video Lauren. you crack me up though…”god gave us this plant and what a man!” Lmao 😂❤

Can you share how much a monthly dose of the compounded version of Mounjaro was and if the price went up with increased dosing?

Can you explain exactly what a “compounded” version is??

UHC pulled the plug on my coverage at the end of oct. because I am not type 2 diabetic. I have 3 shots left and I guess that is the end of the line, which is depressing since I have lost 65 pounds. It's completely insane to me that insurance would prefer to wait until someone develops an awful chronic disease before they are deserving of help.

Try something else like Phentermine. $8.79 a month without insurance. There are other things that work way better than these Diabetes drugs. Some people lose like 8 pounds in 4 months. Wth? That is totally not worth it when there are more effective alternatives.

IMO you can't get the savings card unless you have Prescription Insurance. And I don't have prescription insurance.

You're stunningly beautiful already! As you go through your journey and lose weight to get to your goal you're going to look even more amazing!

Hello! IPlease could you share the name of the pharmacy that your Dr. uses to make the compound? My insurance won’t cover even having a type 2 Diabetes (as the rest of my family).

Have you ever looked into Golo? My Dr. wanted me to do Monjaro but I only did it for 1 month and had the $25 card but when they tried to fill again they couldn’t get below $500 so I just didn’t pursue it.

But actually getting it on NHS for weight loss is a nightmare of hoop jumping and shifting goalposts. Buying mounjaro from an online pharmacy varies £150 - £210 [US $194 - US $271] depending on dose and store. I've not compared too much but ozempic seems to start cheaper but end dearer.

I have a question. Why do skydivers wear safety helmets?

Nov 2023 is not here yet so you must have ment to say nov 2022

So many side effects with these shots that were intended ONLY for diabetics. It's crazy how our world goes and we are desperate to be healthy. My skinny husband is a bad diabetic and was prescribed Mounjaro, although it controlled his sugar and his A1C went down, it was HORRIBLE for him with stomach pain, couldn't poop, depressed, etc..he finally had enough and changed to something else. It might work for some but the side effects coming out daily are SCARY.

I love you girl and you have a large platform so I just want to correct some of your Misinformation. This medication does not cause severe digestive issues on most people there are people like that do have side effects from it and those people need to speak to their doctors, but for the most part, that’s not the case for most people And the stomach paralysis is a thing with diabetic people as diabetes can cause that and those are the people that came out saying that this medication caused it which to me its about $$$ It was never seen in any of the trials. GLP ones have been out for almost 20 years, they are not new, just improved. These peptides that are produced in your gut and the reason they help us is because it helps regulate our gut hormones for those of us who have dysregulation it’s def not a medication for everyone but the stomach paralysis I would take that with a grain of salt and who is claiming that. This medication is definitely just a tool you do have to eat right and you do have to exercise and if you are someone who takes it and you can’t eat at all on them and you have severe side effects then this medication is probably not for you because it’s not supposed to feel that way .
