dan_philly — that is really helpful context on Tricare GLP-1 coverage. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?
I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
Want to share my personal experience related to Tricare GLP-1 coverage for since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 274 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 10 months later: I am down 69 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Tricare GLP-1 aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this Tricare GLP-1 thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
Yep. My endo said the same thing about Tricare GLP-1.
