[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 5’1 and 170, but my health care provider won’t Rx Ozempic, which I get, but hearing the success stories, especially PP where they were overweight for a long time, makes me want to find an alternate provider. I feel like my HCP will be disappointed in me if I do, though. [/quote]

It’s up to you. They’ve been on the market a long time which is enough for me to feel good about their safety. I would ask your HCP more about their objections and then make a decision. My GP didn’t hesitate, but I’m prediabetic with a family history and have been really struggling to get control since kids. [/quote]

Thanks for replying. She wants me to get a personal trainer and try a known diet before she will prescribe.

She is concerned that I would have to stay on it forever.[/quote]

1) is there a human on Ozempic who hasn’t already been on a zillion diets? I feel like that would be the rare exception.

2) you have to be on ANY weight loss method forever. It’s not like getting a personal trainer and dieting won’t be still available if you do Ozempic for a year and then have to stop. There’s no apparent health problem with stopping, it’s not like you become dependent, it’s just that without the effects of the drug you’ll probably eat more. I don’t get this argument. [/quote]
