Got script from doc today - just waiting on approval!
Finally took the plunge and asked my doc about getting on Zep today - she actually said it was her preferred of the WLS injections so I didn't need to sell her on it vs a semaglutide med.
Just waiting on approval, but I came home and talked to my insurance about estimated costs IF it got approved, and seems like it'll be fairly easy since I have a co-morbidity (hypertension). Other good news that I got was that at most, it will only cost me max $75/month (or max $150 for 3mos supply) based on my coverage.
Now I'm just waiting, but I'm pretty excited. I've done so much research about which drug might be the right one for me, and I'm really hoping the side effects are minimal (or at least tolerable).
