[US] US telehealth recs - todays thread

Since starting with a telehealth provider I've dropped 48 lbs and I'm curious what's working for everyone else these days. The landscape seems to keep shifting with what's available. Anyone care to share how their current setup is going?

Nice progress, 48 is no joke. I'm sitting at 38 down since last fall through my own telehealth setup, and yeah the options seem to shuffle every few months but mine's still chugging along fine. Curious what people here think about where things land long term.

48 lbs is seriously impressive, congrats. I'm early on with a telehealth setup myself, only about 5 down, so it's good to see the longer haul actually works. The constant reshuffling of providers does make it hard to know what to stick with.

120 down over a couple years here, and I've hopped between two telehealth setups along the way. The reshuffling never really stopped but somehow it kept working anyway. OP, at 48 you're past the part I found hardest, the first stretch before things felt routine.

Congrats on the 48, that first stretch is real. I'm in Rochester MN down about 21 on reta, and honestly the shuffling doesn't bother me much anymore since the results keep coming either way. Watching the long haulers here post their numbers is what keeps me patient with my own pace.

Same boat here, right around 50 down, and I learned the records lesson the hard way too when my first place went dark mid-refill. Now I screenshot everything monthly so a swap never catches me flat-footed again. Curious if anyone's noticed longer approval waits lately or if that was just my run of bad luck.

Six down myself, so hearing the 120 and 48 numbers in here is genuinely motivating. The tip about keeping your own copies of records before a swap is the kind of thing nobody tells you until it's too late, glad someone said it.

Down 30 since spring myself, and the record-keeping tip hits home because my first provider took three weeks on a refill and I had nothing to show the new one. 48 is serious progress, congrats.

14 lbs in so far and lurking for the same reason as you. I'm on my second telehealth this year already, and the swap was painless mostly because I had all my records ready to move when the first one got slow with refills. Worth keeping copies of everything so you're never stuck waiting on someone else's timeline.

Down 33 on liraglutide here in Boston, slower climb than you folks on the weekly stuff but it's steady. Approval waits did stretch out for me this fall, took almost two weeks versus a few days back in spring, so probably not just your luck. Screenshotting everything monthly is smart, I started doing the same after a pharmacy switch nearly cost me a dose.

27 down here and slower than most in this thread but the scale still moves, so I'll take it. Also noticed my approvals dragging this fall compared to summer, so sounds like it's widespread rather than bad luck. The screenshot habit is getting adopted by everyone apparently, myself included after a close call with a refill gap.

Only 9 down so far but it's moving, so I'm not complaining. Adding my vote to the slower approvals this fall, mine took over a week after being same-day all summer. Started keeping my own records after reading these threads, not risking a gap.

Congrats on the 48, that pace is wild compared to my slow 2 lbs on compounded tirzepatide here in San Diego. The backup advice hits home - I've already got my labs and payment screenshots in one folder after reading how fast things can get yanked. Curious which telehealth you've been using since it's clearly been working for you this long.

Congrats on the 48, you're basically at my pace - I hit 52 a couple weeks back after a year-ish on telehealth. Approvals definitely got slower here too, took nearly two weeks this fall after same-day all summer, so the record-keeping habit everyone's picked up is a smart one.

48 lbs is a great run, congrats. I'm on Trulicity out of Louisville and down 41, slower ramp than some here but it's been steady. Fall approvals slowed for me too, so my refill screenshots live in a folder now just in case.

Down about 5 myself so barely out of the gate compared to your 48, but the slower approvals this fall match what I saw - my last one dragged way longer than the summer turnaround. Started keeping my own records folder after reading this thread, seems like the new normal.

Only 7 lbs in for me so the long game is still ahead, but the fall slowdown hit me too after my first refill came through almost instantly over the summer. I started a screenshot folder as well since reading everyone's experiences here.

The callback thing got so bad for me I started keeping a note of the exact date I called each month, so when they claimed I never reached out I had receipts. Sounds paranoid but refill week got way calmer once I had that. Down 30 lbs myself and honestly worth every bit of the admin headache.

Congrats on the 48, that's serious progress. I'm at 52 myself and the documentation habit has saved me more than once - I log every call date and approval in one place now. The fall slowdown seems to be the new normal for a lot of us.
