For a consultation and have been using semaglutide injections weekly. They get the meds from a compounding pharmacy in Tennessee. I’ve lost around 35 lbs which is where I wanted to be. I have been losing the weight slowly and paying attention to my eating habits and making sure to get enough protein so I don’t lose muscle. I’m going to start stepping down my dosage probably my next appointment. And again we will do that slowly- not just stop taking it cold. I go to my appointments around every 6 weeks or so. A vial lasts a pretty long time. I pay $300 each appointment and that’s out of pocket- no insurance. I’ve had no side effects and I’m really happy with my weight loss.
