Quick one, so what happens when your bmi is below 30 but you aren't at goal?

[HoldMyCoffee]

So if the requirement to get it is having a bmi over 30, what happens when you lose enough to have bmi as 29 and therefore, not qualify but you still have a few stone to hit goal? Do they cut you off or does it not matter what it is down the line only for that first order?

Sorry if that's a silly one, tia

It’s only for your first order / first time use. Once you are on it the you can stay on until you reach a healthy BMI.

Ok that makes sense, Thank you, sorry one more question, do you have to send pictures every month when you order or is it just the first one too?

Depends on the provider. I had to for my first. I’ve not had to since. I think prescribers have tightened up a lot since February though as I’ve seen requests for videos etc now.

I order from Simple online pharmacy and I’ve never had to send a photo. I started when my BMI was 31 and it’s now 25 but they’ve never refused my order. I’m hoping to continue until my BMI is 22/23.

I ordered for first time today from simple online pharmacy but I had to send a picture, really hoping I don't have to do it again!

Thank you for taking the time to answer, it would have bugged me forever otherwise!

this is so bizarre. I ordered from them on Sunday. They requested a photo, I sent a photo of my feet on the scales (BMI of 32).
The said that wasn't enough. I then sent them full body pics, front and side, and another pic of the scales.
I've chased them 3 times by phone and numerous times online and still nothing - it's still 'waiting for doctor review'. I'm getting really frustrated now and don't know what to do!!

Just had notification that it's been shipped!

A couple of times now I’ve had no notification that it’s being reviewed by a doctor so wondered if my order had been lost in the system. Then suddenly getting an e-mail to say it’s been shipped.

Dpd has delayed my delivery, it was supposed to arrive today but when I checked it said it wouldn't be delivered til tomorrow due to delay..

Does anyone know if it will be refrigerated whilst waiting? How will I know?!

It will come in an insulated pack with a block of ice but I’m afraid I’ve no idea how DPL will store it in the meantime. Might be worth asking Simple. I’ve occasionally received a part-thawed one.

Delivery came! I've checked the gel packs manufacturer and they are good for 48hours and the box was chilled so inside so I'm feeling comfortable now... turns out I'm a worrier!

Thank you all for taking the time to answer me!

I'm now off to stock up on Imodium and rennie just in case!

You might want to stock up some Lactulose. The injections give me dreadful constipation unless I stay on top of it. I’ve never had diarrhoea.

Oh really?!

Well phew - I'd much rather that than get caught out in work..
