Wegovy is a miracle drug IMO.

Sadly, I changed my employer and insurance no longer covers it... so its 1650/month and doesn't count toward my deductible

Working with a company called "Calibrate" who guarantees that they can get you the meds through their relationships... we will see. But the effect of Wegovy (for me) was very meaningful and I am/was seriously considering just paying out of pocket to continue it.

Semaglutide is available as other, cheaper brand names. For example, Ozempic has similar dosages (I think 1.5mg and 3.0mg), and compounding pharmacies might be able to make you semaglutide doses that get even closer to Wegovy's. There's also Rybelsus, the oral semaglutide pill. (I'm not a doctor or in the medical/pharmaceutical industry, so please consult your doctor and pharmacist, they often know crafty ways to get insurance to cover things. Also, don't be afraid to work with your employer's HR, they can often administratively include things as an exception.)
