obesity
"I've been on this for about 3 months and thus far have lost about 20 lbs. Slow and steady, just the way it ought to be. Side effects are minimal. A little nausea but not intolerable. I have another 40 or so pounds to lose. It's great to finally have something that really works.
Downside? Does anyone's insurance actually cover this stuff? Cash pay it's $1000 a month. I have put that out for the last 3 months, between having crummy insurance for the first 2 months and then the deductible on my new insurance. NOW I am finding out that it is "an excluded drug." Great! I guess they'd rather treat me for diabetes, hypertension and the coronary I'll probably have from being fat. Does anyone else's insurance jerk them around about paying for this?"
