[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and the doctor was really happy I’d lost weight and my #s were good a year later. But still wouldn’t write a prescription. [/quote]

This is because they know that, somewhere down the line, there are going to be massive lawsuits when we begin to see what these drugs are really doing to people’s long term health. [/quote]

Please go away with your ignorant wishful thinking. I have had my cardiologist and my primary doctor tell me that these drugs are only going to gain traction in treating many different things off label as well as for weight loss. They are pretty much a miracle drug. [/quote]

You believe that I or any rational person would hope this (massive lawsuits) will happen?! No. I dread the day because it’s going to turn health care upside down.

In your 10 minute visits with them, your doctors are smiling and telling you what you want to hear. And what the current thinking on the subject may be. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a massive reversal in 10-20 years, when the effects of these drugs becomes better known.

Oh, and there are no miracle drugs. EVERY drug you inject into your body has potentially negative side effects. Even penicillin and aspirin. [/quote]

I see you came back with some more ignorant statements. I have been on Ozempic for nearly five years. I have been closely monitored by my primary care doctor and several specialists. No one is placating me and telling me what I want to hear. [b]My doctor put me on Ozempic 5 years ago because I was obese, had high cholesterol, BP, etc. [/b]All of that has been resolved now. I guess in your view side effects from THOSE meds are ok because they aren't used for weight loss. Even according to you, all meds have side effects. So why is being on 3 or 4 other meds better than being on one that also allows me to make better choices when it comes to my diet? Furthermore, what EVIDENCE do you have that there will be a massive reversal? Unlike you, I'm not opposed to changing my course if I'm presented with actual evience.[/quote]

You do know that every one of these is generally a lifestyle disease, especially in younger people? But sure, just keep taking meds, whatever they throw at you.[/quote]
