Now Available: GLP-1 Program at BariatricPal

We’ve officially launched our GLP-1 Program, and I’m excited to share that we were also able to lower pricing on compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.

✅ Semaglutide injections: $199/month
✅ Tirzepatide injections: $299/month
✅ Oral versions are available too

All customized after a provider consult and filled by a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy.

This program is designed for individuals who use medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound before surgery, after regain, or as an alternative to revision surgery. You don’t need to figure it out alone. This gives you affordable access, guidance, and a built-in support system.

If you’re considering a GLP-1 or are already on one and want to connect with others, this is a great place to start. Let me know if you have questions or want help getting started.

Price change

For those that are interested in this, is HSA and/or FSA accepted for payment? Is this compounded and not the commercially available stuff? How long after you have bariatric surgery do you have to wait before you can take this medication?Personally, I won't be partaking, but I've seen many posts on here from others who want to, so I was just thinking of questions that weren't mentioned in the original post.

Great questions!

HSA/FSA Payments: Payments made through HSA and FSA cards are not accepted. However, we are working on integrating this payment method in the near future, as it is currently in the product roadmap.

About the Medications: We're excited to start offering compounded Semaglutide and plan to soon include compounded Tirzepatide. The decision to initially provide compounded options stems from our commitment to affordability without compromising quality. As the prices of branded versions become more accessible, we'll be sure to include them as well.

Quality and Safety Standards: The pharmacies within the BariatricPal network uphold the highest standards of quality and safety, adhering to regulations set by state boards of pharmacy, the FDA, the DEA, and the USP Convention. This includes strict compliance with USP General Chapter 795 to ensure our compounded medications' safety, potency, and quality.

Each batch of compounded Semaglutide undergoes rigorous quality assurance and control checks, including:

• Verification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Certificate of Analysis from FDA-registered manufacturers.
• Aseptic compounding processes to produce specific lots.
• Independent third-party laboratory testing for potency, sterility, and endotoxicity.
• Unique lot numbering and electronic tracking for dispensing.

Post-Bariatric Surgery Considerations: The timing for starting GLP-1 medications post-bariatric surgery is a personalized decision that should be discussed with your bariatric surgeon or one of our telehealthcare providers. Individual needs and recovery processes vary, making it essential to tailor this aspect of your care to your specific situation.

At the moment, it is only available to US patients.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you I appreciate your response. My only other question right now is, will the dr. get a hold of me to schedule another telemedicine or how does that work? 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.

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.

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.
