"my dr. gave me a sample to try as  i have gained 100lbs in the last 3 years with no reason as to why. so i started taking the injections on a low dose it lasted a little over 1 week and i lost 9 to 10 pounds. i can not get my insurance to cover and i can not afford it without help. my dr. gave me 2 more samples trying to encourage the weight loss so far 22lbs of weight but i ran out last week we have begged and pleaded for the insurance to cover but no luck. i think this would be cheaper than gastric bypass surgery as the dr. said would be my next course if i cant lose the weight.
