Problems with Doctor & My Maintenance Plan
My doctor shared that she is concerned that I have decided to maintain my weight loss using 10 MG every 10 days. She wants me to seriously consider titrating down, although I am not losing a ton of weight, and my BMI is 23/24. Am I missing something? Is it a bad thing to stay at higher dose of Zepbound? Are people starving to death staying on a higher dose? I probably just need a new doctor, but it’s getting annoying. We had a discussion back in August and we agreed on me staying on 10 MG every 10 days. Last week, I checked back in, all is great, weight loss goal hit and no major weight loss, but she’s still sharing her concerns about me still being on 10 MG.
Do you think my doctor is in her feelings because I argued with her about staying on 10 MG or am I missing something? As reference, I am on Zepbound and I am not diabetic and I thought Lilly suggested 10 or 15 MG as a proper maintenance dose. Also, I thought a BMI of 23/24 was a good place to be to continue care with Zepbound. Overall, I wanted a PCP and was glad to move away from telehealth, but now she’s being a pain. I never had those issues with my online doctor.
