InsuranceTom — that is really helpful context on SELECT cost-effectiveness. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?
I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Want to share my personal experience related to SELECT cost-effectiveness since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 261 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 10 months later: I am down 41 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The SELECT cost-effectiv aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

NurseLeah_Nash — that is really helpful context on SELECT cost-effectiveness. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?
I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Want to share my personal experience related to SELECT cost-effectiveness since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 278 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 48 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The SELECT cost-effectiv aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
