    How in the world do you pay so little? I mean comparatively. 
    my insurance finally approved it and it was sent to the pharmacy for filling and with insurance coverage it’s $1078 out of pocket

     So I tried the zepbound savings program and it’s still $975!

    i can’t afford that at all 🤮

    Negative brother - get it from Llily Direct.  I have been paying out of pocket $450.  No insurance.

    LOL, and then, will you tell your medical relatives that you're buying Chinese peps from some crazy Cuban online?

     


    I’m absolutely not fucking with you - they can never know I’m doing this. They will either disown me or think I’ve lost all my money in a Nigerian bitcoin scam.

    I had a fibroscan done a couple weeks ago because my liver numbers weren’t great. Today the results came back to confirm fatty liver but the number isn’t high enough for the insurance to cover the zepbound. 
     

    Looks like we’re going to use my severe obstructive sleep apnea to try to get it covered

     

     

    I used to pay $1800/month, then it was $1200 and now it's $495.  I have incredible insurance - it's just not worth the fight for me to go through insurance.

    Thanks for sharing it here, I (obviously) was not going to speak about your medical stuff unless you said it first.  It is quite common to hit this, I don't recall the percentage.  Less than 50%, but common enough to be something to watch for.

     

     

    It feels like slight depression...like just feeling "blue" - in my head and body.  My wife has expressed that she 100% notices a mood change 72 hour post shot...and then I slowly change back to normal.  I'm pretty outgoing....and after I take the shot I can notice one thing for sure, when I am in a social situation I never hold back what I am thinking or feeling, regardless of what others may think.  I have noticed that "in my head" I say to myself "you know what, I just don't feel like expressing myself because I don't want to have to deal with peoples opinions (maybe this is just a sign of maturity and age) and remain silent.  I experience this right after taking the shots....and almost never toward the end of the week.

     

    NOW....Carlos recommended that I step down the dose which I have, but haven't seen any change as of yet.  But it takes time so I am being patient.

    Side effects when/if they increase their dose? Or just from taking the med?

     

    When you increase you will initially feel a bit of nausea, this is my guess.  Maybe even a bit of cramping but nothing that will make you go off of it. 

     

    Also remember, and I am sure you know this.  Any type of colonoscopy or stomach/intestine surgery - you MUST come off the meds completely.

    This is not meant as a negative, just so you don't fall into a disappointment trap.  That is well known to be water and inflammation going away; they are the first to go, not fat.  You MAY stall shortly around the third shot which is also when it peaks (the drug doesn't fully build up until 25-30 days).  You'll probably settle into a much more gentle weight loss line.

     

    AND....( I know Carlos hates when I say it) step that drug up every 30 days.... :)

    Well I'm in my second week now of Zepbound and the scale tells me I'm down 11.2pounds.

     

    I didn't know what to expect, if anything at all. The first 2 days I didn't experience anything at all. No gut feelings, no cutback from hunger, no decrease in cravings.

    Day 3 I woke up and felt different. Not hungry at all. Wasn't until about 6pm that I decided I should eat something so I don't start getting headaches, etc...

    Couldn't eat much, just didn't have a desire to eat. What a weird feeling to not be hungry or even want to eat.

     

    Exactly my experience and I have been on for 2.5 years.  Even more weird, wait until Thanksgiving or the Superbowl when you are littered with incredible food....and NON OF IT interests you.  That's even stranger. 

     

    Alcohol, no more for me.  Just no desire.

     

    Sometimes I can go days without eating....because it simply doesn't rule my thoughts anymore. 

    Is this TFT's bike for sale?

    Kinda like when a kid marries someone's daughter and get's "the talk."  We are all now giving you the talk....

     

    If you hurt that bike we will kill you :) It means something special to us, over and above being a bike....so take care of it, ride it, and love it with the same pride our good friend Tom did.  He loved that bike... a lot.  

     

    Welcome to the asylum.

    WTF.  Although a PWC is legally a boat, there's a distinction, but boat/bass boat/pontoon boat....WTF.

     

    Also I'll give you $20,003.50 for the open bow, I don't really have a use for an Ass Tracker.

     

     

    I am sure I'll keep it for a few years....and you know I will list it here first and at a great deal :)

    ...???  A pontoon is a boat.

     

    But the bowrider does seem vastly more appropriate for what you are doing.

     

     

    Here in the community according to their naming convention there is a distinct difference between a Boat and a Pontoon Slip, even though technically it's called a Bowrider.

    Agreed....on a calm lake, we feel nothing....but if a jet ski rips by...it does get a bit wavey.

     

    I was really hoping someone here wanted it or knew of someone who does....at this price and this new I would love for it to be someone "I know" who get's it.  At this price....whoever buys it can use it for a3-5 years and sell it for the exact same price they are buying it for. 

     

    I have someone coming today to look at it...and 4 people on Saturday.
