Part 2 sounds good. Part 1 is a dealbreaker for me. It's kind of gross to think about slow digestion. Can anyone comment on that part of it? [/quote]

I'm not sure what you're imagining. 
GLP-1 mimics a natural hormone that slows down the movement of food from your stomach to your intestine. That's it.

I had it, and it was so severe it really scared me.  Also, terrible burps that tasted of sulphur and rot: I'm assuming that's due to the slower digestion?  This is also a common side effect.  DH said my breath was foul.

Anyway, I was trying to lose 10-20 pounds of "vanity weight" (was already within healthy BMI), so I don't know if that contributed.  I stopped taking it after a week because I could not stand the side effects.

One of my friends has been on it for almost six months and she's had these side effects, but not as severe.  She does also have noticeable hair loss, but says this is a price she's willing to pay because she's lost about 35 pounds and wants to lose 20 more.  [/quote]
