Bill Yanez died a few days ago, and his son says Dr. Illan was responsible. Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if Dr. Illan intentionally messed up Bill’s surgery to get him out of the picture. I say that because he did the exact same thing to me. I almost died in my own hospital after that monster operated on me. The world’s better off without Bill, and it’ll be even better once Dr. Illan is gone too.

25 minutes ago, newbegining2024 said:I might not have asked my question properly. For people that already have Gerd combine with gastric sleeve or gastric bypass, the popular glp1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide mostly would aggravate the Gerd condition.
Is this program only prescribing these popular medications for weight loss? Are there other medications/injections that can help weight loss without side effect of acid reflux?
I heard that reflux could be a side effect of taking GLPs, but I went on a low dosage of Tirzeptitde 6 weeks ago, lost 27 pounds, and am at my goal weight. Before losing weight, I took 40 MG of Omeprazole in the morning and another 40 MG in the evening. Since losing this weight, I've switched to once in the morning and have almost zero reflux! Losing the extra weight did the trick for me.
BariatricPal does offer Saxenda (Liraglutide), Contrave (Bupropion/Naltrexone), Phentermine-Topiramate (Qsymia), and Tirzepatide in lower doses, which are known to cause less or no reflux. If you're interested, you can talk to the doctor, and they will prescribe what makes sense for your situation. -

Esomeprazole (Nexium) and Pantoprazole (Protonix) are available as injections for GERD, but The BariatricPal Store doesn't offer them now.

I've been taking BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE capsules recently, and I've found them really helpful. They're flavorless, and you only need one a day, which is super convenient. There's a deal where a year's supply is just $99, which seems like great value. If you're interested, you can check it out at https://store.bariatricpal.com/99.
One thing I appreciate about these Vitamins is that experts in the field specifically design them with bariatric needs in mind. Just a heads-up, though – taking a separate Calcium supplement is recommended, as it can affect Iron absorption. If you're looking for options, BariatricPal has a range of calcium supplements that might suit your needs, available at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/calcium.
Also, if you're exploring different brands or types of bariatric multivitamins, there's a variety to choose from at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/multivitamins. It's always good to have opt

3 hours ago, BlondePatriotInCDA said:With the semaglutides being removed from the no longer being in short supply lists, I'm reading that this will take away pharmacies ability to continue to compound GLP-1's. Will this stop all compounding of GLP's therefore will these no longer be available? They are cheaper..especially as I've just been notified my insurance will no longer cover them.
They were put back on again. It seems that the pharmacies are also adding B-12 or other compounds to get around this.

I think I was just sent 4 weeks worth. So, will it just automatically ship out? Sorry for the silly questions I am just a little unclear.
No questions are silly! Please contact support with any questions via email glpsupport@bariatricpal.com or call us at 844-357-3601.

2 hours ago, MasonNana said:Is there an option to ask for this instead of semaglutide? Also, I am wondering if anyone on here has started the program and how much success they are having? I have received my first prescription but I have been scared to give it to myself.
Yes, it’s definitely an option. Please consult with your medical provider to explore options that best fit your needs. Regarding experiences, my younger brother began this program recently and has seen significant weight loss after a gradual increase in dosage over two months. If you’re feeling nervous about administering your first dose, it might help to have a healthcare professional guide you through the process or to watch instructional videos provided by healthcare providers.

Compounded Tirzepatide is Now Available via BariatricPal!
Tirzepatide has garnered considerable attention in recent media coverage, with patients reporting enhanced weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and fewer side effects than Semaglutide.

Frequently Asked Questions About BariatricPal's GLP-1 Weight Loss Program
How does BariatricPal's Weight Loss Program work?
BariatricPal offers a comprehensive and convenient solution for weight loss through our telehealth platform. Our process is designed to be straightforward yet thorough, ensuring you receive personalized care tailored to your needs. Here’s how you can start your journey towards a healthier lifestyle with us in three easy steps:
- Complete the Eligibility Quiz: First, take our eligibility quiz.
- Telehealth Appointment: You'll have a telehealth consultation with your new healthcare provider to discuss your health and treatment options.
- Medication Delivery: If it's medically appropriate, you'll receive your medication directly from our mail-order pharmacy provider every 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on your provider's decision.
We aim to foster a long-term relationship between you and your provider, offering ongoing care tailored to your needs. The BariatricPal GLP-1 Weight Loss Program is crafted for those seeking a sustainable, long-term solution to weight management.
Is the program confidential?
Absolutely. Your privacy is paramount to us. Only our medical team and prescribers can access your medical data and order history. For more details on how we protect your information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Do I need a prescription?
No pre-existing prescription is required. If you're eligible for treatment following your consultation, our medical team will issue you a private prescription. This streamlines the process, allowing you to focus on your health and progress without the hassle.
How much does the BariatricPal Medical Weight Loss Program cost?
We offer a customized prescription plan designed specifically for you, guided by our experienced doctors. The first month costs $247, including your medical telehealth consultation, a month's supply of weight loss medication (GLP1-s), and shipping directly to your home. For subsequent months, the cost is $297.
How often will I receive a shipment?
Your medication will be shipped promptly after our doctors review your progress and renew your prescription. Shipments are scheduled every 30 days to ensure you consistently have your medication on hand. Please allow 7-10 business days after your consultation for your order to arrive.
GreenTealael reacted to this -
13 hours ago, BlondePatriotInCDA said:Is the prescription sent after your team of Telehealth doctors consult with you, or do you have to go to your own doctor and pharmacies with a prescription? Are insurance companies contacted by your Telehealth team to advocate for your patients or is that left up to the customers?
Once you've consulted with our Telehealth team and determined that you’re eligible for treatment, our medical team will issue you a private prescription directly. This means you won't need to obtain a prescription from your doctor or take it to a pharmacy yourself; we streamline the process to make it as convenient for you as possible.
We do not currently coordinate directly with insurance companies.

Vitamin Confusion
in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Posted
There’s a lot of confusion around which bariatric Vitamins are “approved” or recommended by groups like ASMBS or SAGES. The truth is, these organizations publish nutrient guidelines based on research, but they don’t certify or endorse specific brands. BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE was developed to meet or exceed those core guidelines in one simple capsule a day.
It includes high levels of key nutrients like ADEK, Iron, and B12 that are essential after surgery. It doesn’t try to cut corners with gummies or “bariatric friendly” labels that don’t actually meet requirements. And unlike chewables that some people struggle to tolerate long term, this is just one flavorless capsule a day.
A 12-month supply is $99, which breaks down to just $8.25 a month:

Because it contains iron, it’s best to take Calcium separately to avoid absorption issues. You can find a full range of calcium options here:

And if you’re comparing formulas, there’s a full selection of bariatric Multivitamins here:
