Be an adult & pay out of pocket. I gladly pay $650/mth. for Mounjaro. Not some compounded junk, the real deal. I started on Ozempic, & within a few weeks my A1C improved & I lost weight. My insurance stopped covering it. My doctor switched me to Mounjaro, & I’ve been on it ever since. ALL of my numbers have improved, & I’ve lost 90 pounds. I’ve ditched almost all of my medications. I’ve never had any negative side effects. Because I lost weight slowly, I don’t have loose skin. For the idiots out there who want to talk about just getting in the gym & eating right, you don’t know my story. I was a gym rat. I then had back to back life-changing injuries & surgeries, including a fasciotomy for compartment syndrome. I also had a stroke after recovering from osteomyelitis (bone infection). A piece of plaque broke off from my picc line where I had to give myself daily IV antibiotics. Needless to say, I gained weight, as I was immobile. I’ve fought back & I’m back to less than 120 pounds.
