to be fair, i don't think there is as much of a shortage of glp-1 meds as there was months ago. but even so, i doubt that insurance would cover this med for weight loss and it will remain expensive until more of the competitor meds are approved (which will be soon).
but regardless, kelly should stay in her nepo lane and stfu. another one who would be slinging hash at IHOP if she were born into a family of lesser means.
eta: not capping on either IHOP or waitresses. working at fast food places is HARD work.

Kelly aside, do you think insurance does or will one day approve Ozempic for weight loss in the cases of morbidly obese people, not just celebs and influencers trying to remain svelte for the cameras? I’m just curious since the argument could be made that it is more for health than beauty standards. |

maybe seriously morbidly obese. but i am assuming the insurance company will assess actuarial tables to figure out the cost of insuring weight loss drugs for this population over not covering it. yes, it will likely come down to $$$. sad but true.

Was going to say the same re shortage. My dad is type 2 and uses ozempic. He’s had zero issues filling his script in the entire time he’s been on it. |

My health insurance sends out an occasional newsletter with alerts and such and a recent says “Intermittent shortages of Ozempic are expected to persist throughout 2024, though the overall supply situation should improve in the first quarter of the year.” So maybe shortages are regional. 🤷♀️

She's an asshole. Nothing new. Yep. Also an addict who turns to drugs to lose weight. *Surprise!* |

Yep, everyone who opposes shortage-causing, vanity use of this drug is a jealous, poor, bitter fatty. 🙄 I hope the stuff gives her permanent projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea. I feel like Gastroparesis would be the worst possible side effect. It's pretty damn horrible. I wouldn't want to risk it . |

If nothing else, when she eventually has to come off this she's going to rebound like a mofo. Hopefully that's all that would happen.

My husband's doctor actually told him he would like to describe him Ozempic, because he has major problems with his back and can't move properly since a couple of months now, and keeps gaining weight because of it. I told him to stay away from it if possible. I don't trust it.

Sorry to hear palta! Yoga did help first with my husband's back, but unfortunately it's a full blown herniated disc situation, and nothing has helped so far. It just gets worse and worse. Tried to avoid surgery, but I don't think that's possible IMHO.

ugh that sucks, palta and funky.
funky, is your husband doing physiotherapy?
i had issues with my cervicals and they're pretty much chronic but the only way i can keep the pain mostly away is pilates and yoga and maintaining core and upper body muscles. but before i could get to the maintenance phase i did months of physiotherapy, with dry needling, massaging, some acuptuncture, and lots of exercises. depending on how bad his hernia is he might be able to avoid surgery if he strengthens the muscles around his back but that also depends on how bad the hernia is. has he gotten a second opinion?

Physiotherapy, at times 3x a week, and breuss massages which seem to help best. He has not problems regarding strength as he's working physically, so there is nothing they were able to show him that would help strengthen the area, and he's also quite flexible thanks to lots of Karate and similar stuff in his youth. He tried just about everything now, including a cortisone injection a couple of weeks ago which didn't do anything.
Yes, he has now a third opinion even. All say surgery is last resort, but as it only gotten worse in the last months, it might be the only thing left. But the surgery he needs is luckily not as extensive as the one where they fixate two vertebrae together. In his case, one vertebra is somewhat broken off, causing probably a mechanical irritation. That's why they plan to remove that piece.
