Dad approved for Zepbound at 74 years old!
He has type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and has struggled with weight since his fifties. He's watched me lose 58 lbs over the past year. He asked his cardiologist about it quietly, not wanting to get his hopes up. The cardiologist not only agreed it was appropriate but cited the cardiovascular data and said it was practically overdue. And extremely super surprisingly, insurance approved it first attempt. He starts next week.
I've been on this medication long enough to know what the first few weeks are going to feel like for him. I know what month two looks like. I know when the food noise conversation is going to click. I know what he's about to discover about his own hunger that he's never understood before. This whole thing got me emotional and thought it was worth sharing since I've been seeing some similar posts on here and posts about insurance coverage and stuff.
