- Tirzepatide is a new injectable medication that results in substantial weight loss over 72 weeks of the trial. What is the risk of rebound weight gain if medication is stopped? I review the SURMOUNT-1 trial published in the NEJM. New telemedicine site for weight loss treatment by physicians and APP providers may help patients having a hard time finding local providers to prescribe weight loss medications. www.joinmochi.com
I scratch my head when I hear practitioners fret about the possibility of someone having to take these peptides long term yet don’t blink at the same person having to take Metformin….or a blood pressure med or a cholesterol meds for life. Something seems odd about that…..
Exactly
Wow you have a good point 😊
I started on Manjuro October 2 2022 I was 436 I now weigh 366! I workout 6 days a week and really basically eating a low carb diet
Thank you for your video. I began using Mounjaro (marketing name for Tirzepatide) 2.5 mg on June 29th. I realize your studies begin with the 5 mg dose. I have lost 11 pounds and see my physician in late September to see how my blood numbers are doing. My glucose and cholesterol numbers were ridiculously high and this injectable was prescribed to try and address both of those issues with the side effect of weight loss. The drug essentially suppresses my appetite and provides a sense of fullness on very small amounts of food. I am exercising approx 60 minutes daily. While I am curious to know how my blood is doing, this medication has not resulted in any significant side effects at all. This is my personal story, but thought I'd share with others.
I am on 2.5 and loosing 25 lbs in 7 weeks
Thank you for the encouraging words. I love how you explain things.
Also, I went to the website for the New England journal & read the article you are talking about. Great info!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos and they are incredibly helpful. I recently made an appointment with my doctor to discuss Vyvanse. I don’t remember you talking about that medication in any of your previous videos. I would love your opinion on it.
Love your weight loss blogs! Thanks for doing these!
I like this doctors breakdown
Just signed up with mochi based on your shout out… super fast, friendly, professional service! I was using Henry med and definitely already feel better about using mochi!
Hello, I was going through the reply's on "You got this" You Tube channel and saw your post using the Mochi site. Can you tell me more about it? How it works. did they write you a prescription for a weight loss med immediately OR did you have to weight? How much is the med etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Thank you for the shoutout!
I just LOVE this doctor.
Am loving Tirzepatide 😊seeing great results !
Good morning!
Ozempic has done a very,very good job at depressing my appetite,weight *and* A1c.
The price of these new GLP1 drugs is ridiculous. There is too much greed in the USA’s free market economy.
Without profit where is the incentive for developing new drugs?
@@nevadawoman71 They can make a profit without gouging us. This drug sells for 2/3rds less in Canada, and even less in other big countries. This “charge as much as you can get away with” concept is a big reason why health insurance costs so much.
@@dalesupertramp9234that’s because the Canadian government imposes caps on the price of drugs to prevent gouging, and the US government doesn’t. Our government should be protecting the people, instead of protecting Big Pharma... Other countries also impose price caps, it’s not just Canada BTW.
I dont have a problem staying on Mounjaro or the upcoming Lily meds for life. I have a good insurance. I am 46 yrs old with type two diabetes. I am using metformin and mounjaro.
I was a normal weight until I hit the age of 67 and I then gained weight dramatically ending at a stasis weight at 305lbs. My Doc said I hit a genetic timebomb....insulin resistance kicked in and it was all over. I'm on Mounjaro now and just started. I'm praying it works because exercise, dieting have NOT WORKED.
This is the only thing that has worked for me , 15 pounds in a month and I’ve just stopped using it for a little bit but the weight is staying off
May I ask what dosage you were on? Was it 2.5 mg once a week?
@@jeniferhalkola8837 yes, I just increased the dosage to 5mg
For me the GLP-1 causes vagal nerve problems and suppresses peristalsis in my opinion. I had a severe issue during titration phase. Had to DC it.
In terms of the outcome of the treatment, it may be equivalent to bariatric surgery. So bariatric surgeons are not smiley with this dramatic efficacy.
I have struggled with my weight since I turned 50. I eat to a fault, exercise daily in addition maintaining my own lawn and home. I should be so much smaller for how diligent I am with my diet and exercise. I don’t lose an ounce. I am eager to see tirzepatide approved for obese people look g to lose weight. I definitely want to take it. I don’t want to get bigger as I age even more.
Maybe Ozempic ist also right for You? I gained weight the last two years (I am 52) and could't lose it 🤨 although I am swimming 3 times a week and try to walk at least 5.000 footsteps a day,. I try Ozempic now.
You can buy it compounded. It works….
I've been losing 6 pounds a month without trying to lose weight. I haven't changed my diet. I started Mounjaro in November of 2022. I'm down over 36 pounds.
My current provider is telling me no but I only want to try it mounjaro for a short period
I know the instructions on my mounjaro say to take it 1x a week but is there a downside to taking it every other week? I had to skip a week here and there since my pharmacy was out of it and I was still able to stick to my 1200 calorie a day plan. (I’ve been sticking to 1200 calories a day for about 5 months and am used to it now. 👍)
Why do they start off with 2.5 mg 4x a month? If the study was on 5mg ect..
What is the cost with joinmochi?
the rebound effect would be very demoralizing
I'm just one person, and it wasn't mounjaro, but I started wegovy in January, then qutt after a month, and never really gained more than 4 pounds back. I'm on moungaro now because I could never get wegovy. Unavailable.
Caution @ 4:12
Right like Metformin people are on it for life. I am one of those people that was in the study for Mounjaro.
And how was it for you?
@@TheTriciaLife Its was/ is great. I lost 80lbs which is where you needed to be. I am under Lilly for the next 15 years for maintenance and study. I have no complaints.
* its where I smh lol
@@LA-en1yzlucky you 😊
Hi thank you! Can u please doa follow up whenever you hv more information?
Doc I have Nash. Will this be okay for me to take
Will this drug makes you dizzy or cause low blood pressure...since starting it 2 months ago if i take my lisinopril/blood pressure i have low readings,,,so i have been checking pressure daily and not taking it if its is good,,IS THAT SAFE
The rebound effect
I am curious why the previous study excluded gastric bypass surgery?...my Dr just described Mounjaro for me, we discussed the fact I had weight loss surgery 7 years ago and he said that was not a concern with this medication...I've not been able to get the medication yet because I'm still waiting on my insurance coverage...is it safe to take these medicines if you have had gastric sleeve surgery in the past?
Likely to exclude people who have altered their digestive tract, to try to normalize the data, since most people haven’t had that surgery. It would’ve skewed the data
As far as lifelong therapy...I'm okay with it. I would have been on Metformin for the rest of my life. As this becomes ubiquitous, the price will come down. If I go off of it, my pancreas will go back to it's inferior performance, blood sugars will build up, fat will be stored and metabolic syndrome ramps up. So, our bodies thru genetics HAVE BETRAYED US.. I'll be on this for a long, long time.
Does Mounjaro cause hair loss? Why lifelong? My dr put me on mounjaro 1 month and because of cost im supposed to start on Ozemtic. Im sort of scared to jump from Mounjaro to Ozemtic after 4 shots of Mounjaro? I also am on 2000 mg of Metformin. Is that needed or can i just use Ozemtic alone?
The medication doesn’t cause hair loss; it’s the rapid weight loss that shocks the body and triggers hair loss. So try not to lose weight too fast.
Any before and after body composition or Dexa Scan?
I had a dexascan and I'm starting mounjaro, I plan on getting a repeat scan this fall.
Any reason you couldn’t stay on 2.5mg if it’s working? Without dose escalation?
I’m wondering the same. Can someone stay on 2.5 longer than 4 weeks?
Yes you can stay at each dose and move up when you and your prescriber decide to do so.
I was on 2.5 for 2 months moved up to 5. On third.
@tg Tina.G How were your results on the 2.5 dose for two months?
I’m literally losing a pound a day on 2.5 strict salad diet really no excersise ….crazy!
That’s not healthy.
10 months later still alive and down 85 pounds..blood work only shows issue with potassium @@ALT-vz3jn
👍
What was that web site for the doc?
She said it’s resource to find a doc
I had sleeve gastrectomy 6 years ago and am starting to gain Weight.
Can I use this drug?
Yes Mounjaro
The trick is trying to find someone to prescribe it. Did you get it?
I did
@@Dutchessofcyber how was it
@@IK-fg4gw Lost 10 lbs first month. Gained 2 lbs second. I haven't increased from 2.5 yet...makes you feel like when you just had surgery.
I might stop taking this shot because its not helping me lose my appetite i still be hungry alot
I've lost 22% with no excercise and no diet modifications. I wish people would stop with the diet and excercise crap. I'm only on 5mg.
I’ve only lost 10 lbs since October. I don’t think it works for everyone.
Same here but blood sugars are perfect
Studies show that it works for 87% of patients.
for me that would be working, I'd take that.
How about HCG?
Nah this is a million times better than HCG.
Very curious about this. Are you saying that diabetics cannot use this drug? As you know I'm struggling with my weight even more since taking insulin regularly. Just curious. Thank you for these videos.
These are for type 2 diabetes and weight loss is a result. This particular medication is prescribed off label for weight loss but is intended for type 2 diabetics.
@@daniellegreen6193 thank you so much Danielle!
That was confusing to me as well. But the exclusion was related to the study group for control purposes. No one in the study had diabetes or gastric bypass.
Not recommended for type 1 diabetes for glycemic control
@@daniellegreen6193it’s also FDA approved for weight loss now.
Lol
