Slightly tangential to Has anyone dealt with but denise_HTX reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
Adding my data to this Has anyone dealt with discussion:

| hsCRP | 5.0 | 4.0 | 1.2 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.3g/kg/day.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with.

I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.
Reading this thread on Has anyone dealt with hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 279 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 54 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Has anyone dealt — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
