Anything is possible, but she has kept it off for over 7 years. Her doctor told her she was on track to becoming diabetic and that was what she needed to make lifestyle changes and lose the weight. |

Anything is possible. What I’m telling you is probable. |

Knowing my SIL she wouldn't want to take weekly injections for life so hopefully she can continue with the success she has had without drugs for the last 7 years. Glad there is something to help if she decides she can't stick to the lifestyle changes. Maybe she is one of the mysterious few who can reduce calories and exercise to prevent obesity. |

Yes, it does happen, although it’s rare. If she is willing to neurotically count calories forever, that is known to make her likelihood of success greater. But on a population level, even those who were able to do it for years tend to stop being able or willing to maintain the incredibly strict calorie tracking necessary to maintain major weight loss and eventually regain. Even after many years of maintaining. |

I think I read the thread you are referring to if it was the recent one about ozempic, and if that was your takeaway, I have to conclude that you struggle with reading comprehension or your own issues that significantly color what you are reading. And even if not, the “confirmed mental illness” poster is pretty clearly nuts. I mean, reading objectively, that’s a nutty conclusion. Also Ozempic face is a joke. Good lord. I can’t believe you believe such obvious nonsense. Please return to reality, thank you. |

It always amazes me how many people on DCUM know so, so many statistical outliers. A DCUM miracle, truly. |

She probably got weight loss surgery and just didn’t want to tell your nasty, judgmental self. |

| How are all of these people without diabetes being prescribed ozempic? Particularly the ones that aren’t even obese or particularly fat? |

It has approval for weight loss, so it is being properly approved for weight loss. Who do you know being prescribed it without being at least medically overweight? |

Bravo OP!!! You have certainly reached a new level of moral superiority. You win as a fellow human. Wonder if you have "actual diabetes" because you're obese? How do you contribute to your chronic condition? Maybe you should try all of the natural ways to take care of your diabetes before you resort to Ozempic. I mean why take a shortcut for your diabetes when you can try to eat healthy and exercise?

| If this is a miracle drug for weight loss we should all be happy. Even if people end up on it for life, it’s better than 50%+ of Americans being obese and the associated strain that puts on our health care system as a whole. |

| Anytime you lose weight quickly your face will be gaunt, it will take a year for it to regain some suppleness. |

Yes. When my dad was going through a terminal illness, in and out of the hospital, I dropped weight so fast. I always had a round face, looked very young for my age. In the months after, my temples were hollowed out and my neck looked a mess. I was gaunt. I did bounce back without fillers or anything else. I gained the weight back. Now, I was already healthy weight/fit when I dropped those pounds. I'm not so sure someone dropping needed pounds is going to have a dramatic face change like that---unless the weight loss goes too far. |
