Weight gain and weight loss injections dilemma

I’ve gained 25 lbs recently. I can’t express how much I hate myself/my body.

The price of weight loss injections is sky high, so unaffordable. I don’t understand how anyone can afford them!

There’s no other options for me. Wellbutrin doesn’t lower my appetite like my doc said it would.

I can’t without benefits.

No, it doesn’t. Agreed. Same with Metformin helping for weight loss, it wasn’t helpful for me.

I couldn’t afford them either except that i have a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis even tho my Hba1c is in the normal range. It’s cuz i basically “failed” an oral glucose tolerance test. That’s the only reason Medicare is paying for the Mounjaro.

My A1c is pretty good too but I take the highest dose metformin which is likely why I never got an official diabetes diagnosis.

My doc refuses to prescribe Mounjaro. Says I can only take Zepbound.

Says even if I stop metformin and my A1c gets bad that insurance won’t cover Mounjaro also said my pharmacy doesn’t fill weight loss injections just the diabetes ones like mounjaro.

I really hate myself. I feel not worthy of even leaving the house. I don’t feel human. It’s really messing with me. If I died I’d be fine with that. No plans. Just wishful thinking

I supposed you are living in America… In Singapore, it cost about 400 sgd =~500-600 USD per month for the wegovy
