Hello-

I'm on Wegovy. Aetna's churn train pushed me off Zepbound and onto Wegovy. Can't really complain, since insurance is covering me...

Zepbound was my starting point in Nov 24; July 25 is when I moved to Wegovy. Down 70 lbs so far- began at 320 lbs. These past few months, it's only been a few pounds per month. Another 30 lbs or so would be my goal, but 25 lbs back I figured I'd be content at my current weight- turns out I'm not! I'd like to "speed things up" some, so I wanted to ask about "stacking" a low-dose reta on top of semi. Curious if anyone here has given that a go. Staying with my current doctor and keeping the Wegovy prescription is what I want.

Folks in this community are ragging on him for those Pizza Hut ads—there's no chance he'd touch that given his TB12 health-freak ways.

Still, at least he isn't (really) everywhere on TV the way the Mannings are!
 
Hey there, fellow Masshole — there's plenty of snow out there right now. Hopefully your daily step count isn't taking a hit.

My circumstances are somewhat alike. Back in June 2025 I weighed 325, and that's when I began compounded Tirz. By December I had dropped to 250, after which my provider moved me over to Reta. These days the scale doesn't seem to be moving, so I've been thinking about whether to reintroduce a low dose of Tirz each week. Like you, I'd be happy to shed 30lbs. more, purely out of curiosity about how I'd look.
