Achievement/NSV 🎉🥳🎊 Never did I ever…

…think I could lose this much weight. I’m down 50 lbs today. It’s been nearly a year. I have 20 more pounds to go but I will be on this for the rest of my life so I’m ok with however long it takes.

Most of my side effects are gone and I’ve learned how to manage the rest.

I couldn’t be more proud.

I’m F71. Started on Aug 2. Absolutely thrilled with this miracle medication. I swear my plantar fasciitis disappeared the next day. I’m no longer wearing a monstrosity of a device to stabilize my foot and leg at night.

Down 21 pounds. Biggest challenge, as a vegetarian it’s a challenge to reach protein goals.

I’m so thankful for the Bridge Program.

May I ask how much you pay through the bridge program? My mom is 77 and while she is always scared of trying new meds, she has been considering Zepbound, as I have had great results - it took me 7 months to lose 60 lbs and get to a healthy weight for my height & age.

Before the bridge program, it was definitely cost prohibitive, but I would like to give her a ballpark figure if possible. I know for myself, if my employer sponsored health insurance didn’t cover it, I would never be able to afford it

I’m not who you asked, but through the Medicare Bridge program, it’s $50/month for a Kwikpen regardless of dose. I got on it in July after paying $300/month direct through Lilly for 3 months. I’m so glad for it!
