| Like have actual people you know and talk to in real life said or implied the kind of nasty things that posters on DCUM say? Has this been a good way for you to weed out people you thought were friends but turned out to be very judgmental about health choices? |

| No one has been rude about it to my face. |

Reactions have been curious or happy for me because I’ve had some health issues. but the majority of people I’ve told actually said “what’s that?”
I’m a little cautious of who I tell because I’m a teacher and feel like I’m flaunting money a bit. |

| I don't tell people. I'm sure they assume. It's none of their business. |

| Would never tell for this reason. If they don’t say it to your face they’ll be thinking it and I couldn’t bear it. |

| I've never had a conversation about this with anyone. |

| I keep my GLP-1 use a total secret. |

Yep. I keep it a secret, but people who don't know I'm on it say terrible things.
I have had two doctors (gyn and gp) be extremely rude and judgmental about my use of it, even though I am under the care of a weight loss doctor in their same hospital system. |

It’s complicated.
I have watched this guy at my gym for years workout with his personal trainer. In a year I witnessed him lose at least 100lb. When I complemented his trainer randomly when he was not there; she kind of rolled her eyes and said “not me; pharmacist”…and explained that after 3-4 year of her working with him and free diet guidance only the drugs changed things. I could give an f about this guy I see at the gym, but clearly his trainer had another view. |

No. Never underestimate how many people troll online.
IRL, people either don’t care, want to know how to get it for themselves, or are happy for me. |

It's so weird to me that someone like that wouldn't be willing to acknowledge how awesome that is. |

I’m not on them, but I imagine most people would be curious or want to try it themselves. Most Americans are overweight! Including me. As for rudeness, who even cares! |

| No. I’m not friends with a-holes. |

| I don't tell anyone except my husband. I expect to take a maintenance dose for the foreseeable future. I don't get why people are rude. Don't they want people to be healthy? If not, why not?? |

I have been on Wegovy for over a year and have lost 60 pounds. I have not experienced a single rude or judgmental comment.
I’m not big on discussing my medical information with anyone but my doctors though. So it doesn’t come up that much. |
