But what were the medical reasons for the usage? Insulin resistance? High A1C? Or just high BMI.

People seem unable to differentiate between the people who use them to get some weight off and are able to maintain it on their own and people whose bodies literally do not process insulin properly and are unable to lose or maintain weight loss without medical intervention.

It’s not apples to apples and for some people it literally is not about eating less and moving more.

WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!

No one owes you this information. For the record, I was in the obese category and couldn't care less what reason people have for using the medication. Its is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

Eh it is my business if my DH is paying hundreds of dollars a month for something that hurts his health or if my taxes go up to pay for increased health insurance costs for government workers.

1) if you want to begdruge your husband getting healthy, by all means, do it in the privacy of your own horrible marriage. Spare us the complete and utter BS of your ignronace.

2) No, it is none of your business what medication doctors are prescribing to their patients. You can eff right off.

But let's face it, people who are using these drugs to lose vanity weight aren't getting it through insurance, so again, eff right off.

I'm so sick and tired of sheer ignorance and stupidity displayed dail,y masked as some kind of concern. Worry about your own self.

You most certainly do not police cholesterol and BP medication. You don't police insulin this way. No idea why you think it's your job to police THIS medication.

It does not help my husband's health to spend 4 months losing 15 pounds and then gain back 1o pounds in 1 month. That has no benefit to his health.

And yes, I care how my tax dollars and insurance premiums are being spent. Sorry that offends you. And I know you'll ignore that I said this, but I actually am very happy for my money to be spent making people healthier. I'll pay more taxes for THAT. Not for something that is being marketed as a quick fix but is actually needs to be a lifelong treatment for most (except their insurance won't pay for it and many don't want to do lifelong injections)

You are so incredibly full of shit. Apparently, even your husband thinks so.

I don't give a shit what you do or don't care about. No one does. Not the people using medications, not the doctors prescribing them, not the insurance companies. Go piss in the wind somewhere else. You're irrelevant.

Wow. Are you okay? You don't sound like you're okay.

Why is that?

Because being obese and having to take medications for high BP, high cholesterol and diabetes has MUCH worse health outcomes than being normal weight and having to take a minimal dose to maintain the weight. Being a healthy weight is always better than being obese. How is this not obvious to you people???

Are there studies that support what you say?

Are there studies to suport that obesity, high cholesterol and high BP are linked to poor health outcomes????????

Yes, a shit ton!

Are there studies to support better long term outcomes on a GLP1 than BP and statins?

DP. You don’t sound well in the head. I wonder why you spend your time reading and posting on topics that cause you such great anger.

Agian, who gives a shit what you think about me too. I certainly don't.

And yet you are here responding. You care an awful lot which is why you are so angry and unable to coherently respond.

My doctor said from the beginning it would be a lifetime medication, and I can do that, but with the way things are in the world who knows if we will always have access?

My own tiny bit of info -- I've been on Wegovy since spring of 2024, and have lost 75 pounds going from an obese BMI to a "normal" one. FWIW, I spent most of my life naturally quite thin, then gained over 80lbs thanks to a medication I have to take that causes a lot of weight gain. Anyway -- my info: two weeks ago I forgot to take my shot. This is the first time I've done this. I didn't take it a few days later when I realized this, because I wasn't sure I'd forgotten it and side effects can be quite bad if you take too much (they are bad for me anyway). Within that week, my weight started going up. At that point I knew for sure I'd forgotten my shot. Figured it was nbd, took my shot on my usual day, which was now two weeks after my last shot, and figured I was fine. Eating was the same as it has been the whole time I've been on the drug, and I have always been a pretty healthy eater anyway. I've now gained six and a half pounds in two weeks. Yes -- weight "fluctuates" -- but mine has not fluctuated up more than a pound or so since going on Wegovy so this is a significant change. It is also enough that it has pushed me up back into an "overweight" bmi from a "normal" one. Concerning. I'm on a maintenance dose, and have been for like 2 months or so; having recently gone down in dose may have made me vulnerable as well. Will watch my weight the next couple of weeks and call my doctor to go back up in dose if I don't get back down to a normal bmi.

That's my big fear now -- what if it stops working? Then what? Massive gain?

I was off for nearly a year (had to quit cold turkey because I changed jobs and insurance didn't cover it at the new job). I only gained 4 lbs in that time. Everyone's experience is different.

I guess if you are on these drugs, you accept that you take them for life.

"jabs?"

Are you stupid? Did you mean to say "injections?" or "shots?" Did you deliberately choose the word "jab" because of its evolution as a pejorative to describe life-saving COVID-19 injections? If that, I guess you're not stupid, you're just an evil dipshit with a defective character.

And, yes, the people on these drugs take them for A1C control and typically can expect to be on them for life. Is that a surprise for anyone?

What was the point of your post?

Post the studies that show GLP1s are better long term than statins and BP. If it’s so obvious, shouldn’t it be out there?
