Hi all, has anyone been approved at this BMI? It appears Voy might but they are also one of the most expensive on the market as far as I can see

Yes, I have been approved after a photo and video conference with a dr - my bmi is 26.1. I want to lose 1.5 stone and she was fine with that. She said I could have 30 days supply then do another call before getting the next 30 days. That's with med express.

It was £60+postage for that first 30 days.

medexpress will prescribe for a bmi of 26? I’ve done 3.5 stone and still have an overweight bmi. I’d like to loose the last ten pounds or so but it just won’t budge and am considering the tablets for help with that.
I have high blood pressure too and take medication so could qualify if they’ll prescribe

Yes they are, start with them (don’t sign up to a subscription) and as soon as you have one box with your name on it you’ll be able to switch to a cheaper provider.

Can you switch to another prescriber even with a bmi between 25 and 27? Apologies I’m a total newbie

Anyone been prescribed with a bmi of 25? I was 26 but did keto and lost some weight. It was such an effort tho and not sustainable and I’ve soon as I’ve relaxed it a little (like just reintroduced some fruit) the weight is creeping up again

My BMI was 25.4 and I was approved by MediExpress
