[quote=Anonymous]My wife's experience - from what I can see and what she has shared with me -- seems very similar to OP's. She has dropped a lot of weight with seemingly minimal side effects. I have no idea what she weighed or her BMI, but I have to imagine it was medically significant.

The weight loss has, among other things, improved her ability to exercise. Primarily, she can run further, faster.

The medicine reduces her appetite but, relatedly, I guess - it also reduces what she calls "food noise." She gets full faster while she's eating, and she doesn't constantly think about food after she stops eating.

The business about the medicine being a "lifelong need" seems like a scarier framing than is justified. If you lose through diet and exercise, you'll have to keep doing those things your entire life. Theoretically, if diet and exercise were sufficient for weight loss, then one could stop using the medicine at one's goal weight and then maintain using diet and exercise. I don't think that's sufficient for a lot of people - but, in any event, maintaining with diet & exercise has to be at least a little easier than losing the weight and then maintaining for the rest of your life. And even if diet & exercise are insufficient (which is usually the case), the costs - financial and otherwise - of using the medicine most likely outweigh the costs of excess weight. [/quote]
