[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't you all worried about gaining the weight back? It can't be healthy to take forever.  I have battled with my weight for years but have always gained back on phentermine or restrictive diets like keto.[/quote]

I think taking this long term would be far more healthy than repeatedly gaining and losing weight.

IMO there is a class of people who, for whatever reason (and I think it’s probably food supply or possibly gut bacteria) live in an undiagnosed pre-diabetic state that medicine doesn’t know or understand yet. This drug works wonders for them. I have a friend on Wegovy who has not only lost 60 lbs, she also immediately lost muscle stiffness and facial flushing. She lost that before she lost any significant body weight; the drug seems to have reduced an inflammatory response across her entire body. She noticed the reduction in facial flushing and stiffness days after her first dose.

The thing is, pre-wegovy her A1C wasn’t even at pre-diabetic levels. But she is responding to the drug as if she was diabetic. She thinks that she has some sort of sub-clinical version of diabetes that is being treated now.

She pays $1k a month for the drug and says she will do this for the rest of her life. Putting aside the weight loss, she felt immediately better on the drug — and that is even with the initial diarrhea. [/quote]
