(Cont’d) “I realized very quickly on the starting dose that I’d gone my entire life being able to eat basically a limitless amount of food without feeling full, and GLP-1 medication completely changed that. Now, when I eat a reasonable portion, I feel full, and the idea of continuing to eat after that just feels disgusting. I dropped 60 more pounds over the next several months and have maintained that weight ever since. My blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other factors are the best they have ever been in my life. I’ve been able to completely stop some medications and reduce my dosage of others.”
“Yes, there were some negative side effects, but I hardly deal with them, and the overall benefits for my health outweigh the minor inconveniences. I’m very thankful for GLP-1 medication and what it’s done for my overall health. Hopefully, someday, insurance companies will realize that taking this medication may help keep me from having a heart attack or stroke, and they’ll begin to cover the cost!”
