My work bestie is going on Wegovy

That's one of those weight-loss shots like Ozempic. It seems like everyone at work is on it. . . or at least was. It must have been costing the insurance company a TON because now they are denying people getting on it and are discontinuing it for those who have lost a lot of weight. Well. . . the ones who were denied continuing shots are regaining the weight and are furious. My work BFF is jumping through the hoops (bloodwork, nutrition training, etc) to get approved but I just don't get it. Yes it helps people to lose weight but once you lose the weight they won't pay for it and you gain it all back. Um maybe just learn to control what you put into your mouth and go to the gym? I lost an incredible amount of weight (almost 50 pounds in 4 months) simply by working out and modifying my diet. I weigh even less now because I learned how to eat properly. I'm not an adult who eats like a child who won't eat vegetables. I don't follow some trendy diet like only eating meat or only vegetables. As a result my weight is in a comfortable range for me. I don't stress when I step on the scale. I don't have to rely on medication or injections to do that. I'm a big girl who can manage my weight on my own. It is crazy for coworkers who are doing the injections now that they are getting rejected.
