They were put back on again. It seems that the pharmacies are also adding B-12 or other compounds to get around this.

GLP-1's have been put back on the shortage lists? The pharmacies have been adding other compounds for quite awhile which is how I originally started on Ozempic. The articles I've read though as of a few weeks ago stated since glp's were being removed from the shortage lists compounding would no longer be allowed, which is why I was asking.

Are there other injections for people who have gerd issues? I saw someone mentioned it, but couldn’t find the name of the 2 injections that were mentioned.

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

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.

I’m surprised no one has asked “how much does it cost?”

I currently get compounded Tirezeptide and it’s $299.
I was able to do the lowest dose the whole time and have lost 25lbs.
I don’t want to lose anymore. So I tapered off of it.
But I think it’s great!

Probably because it varies depending on mg prescribed and type (brand name) of the meds. Plus, if your insurance will cover it or not.
