First time caller, long time listener.
It'll be the same story as a lot of you - weight's been a struggle my whole life. I've gone from over 400 lbs down to 189 lbs (by only sheer will and a desire to win weight loss contests) and now back in the mid 3's so time for GLP-1s to see if they can finally slay the dragon for good.
I started on Wegovy because my insurance covered it (and had just dropped Zepbound coverage of any sort). All the sema gave me was negative side effects and pretty much nothing on the weight loss front. After maxing out at 2.4mg I tried to get a pre-auth to switch to branded tirz by way of the "Mounjaro pathway" with no luck.
So then it was time to go the compounding route, where I am right now. I'm at 12.5mg now, bumping up to 15mg next week, but it's definitely working better than sema ever was.
