I had a lot of back pain and had gotten to the point where I knew I needed to lose weight. My primary care physician told me about the benefits of weight loss medications and the CCP weight loss program and made a referral. I spoke to the pharmacist, who could see all of my medical information and what medication I was on. He counseled and helped me every step of the way, and we decided to try a weight loss medication. He encouraged me personally and has been my rock. He helped with insurance approval. I have had nothing but good luck with it since the day I started; it started working almost immediately. The next day I had no cravings; within a week or so, food was not in the front of my mind all the time. The medication for me removed my cravings; I am not craving pasta or thinking about ice cream at all. I have been on the medication and in the program for about two and a half months and have lost 24 pounds. Having the support of the pharmacist who understands the dosing, can guide me on the medication, and checks in on my progress and taking medicine itself has made all the difference.
