I took my first dose three ago. I was so excited when I got word that my insurance covered it.  I immediately called my pharmacy to ask what was next.  I was expecting them to have not heard from the insurance to tell me they have a shortage.  Instead, they said it was ready.  I ran over to the pharmacy and waited in a decent line.  But 30 minutes later, I had my first four doses in hand.  It was very unexpected after thinking my insurance wouldn’t cover anything.  

I’ve made the initial push to lose weight since having kids.  But it feels like something always distracts me.  I did a good job of losing and maintaining weight before kids.  But with my busy life now, the things that worked before aren’t working.  This is what drove me to start looking for that little extra help.  I was extremely demoralized when I looked into it, thought my insurance would cover Monjouro, and then had the claim rejected.  Seems like no one took the extra step to say, “but we can approve Wegovy.”  After hearing that my insurance has to cover at least one for weight loss, I tried.  And, holy shit, it worked.

Now I’m sitting here three days past my first injection.  I’m at my spouse’s cafe, trying to eat my standard waffle.  I used to be able to eat this whole thing no problem.  Now I am slowing down after the first quarter and struggling to eat half of it.  This is the kind of support I need.  Something that doesn’t tell me what to eat, but how much to eat.  It has only been three days at the lowest dosage and it feels like it has been weeks.  I feel my goals that I thought were too far are now within reach.  My fears of dying before retirement are starting to fade as well.  I have a real chance of making this work.  I feel like this is the best shot I am going to get.  I have to give it my all.
