obesity
"My weight gain started in 1/2017 when I stopped moving due to pain from degenerative disc disease. I had neck surgery in 6/2017 & was shocked I weighed 189lbs, I am 5’2” and 63 yrs old. I wasn’t able to exercise until 9/2017 due to my recovery & started w/o meds on the Atkins diet. I had mild success & asked my Med prof for advice. We discussed Saxenda. I was willing to try it until my pharmacy told me my insurance (Horizon BCBS) does NOT cover weigh loss meds. It was $1100+ to fill the Rx!! So NO GO! My Med prof was able to help me w/an 18 day sample. I’ve been on it for 4 days, too new to rate. Reduced hunger @ low dose 0.6ml, but bad headaches. Do I want to take this to lose weight SO MUCH, if this is a side effect? 167.5 now 132 goal."
