[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because of the risks of bowel obstruction, I suppose?
[/quote]

That isn’t actually a thing [/quote]

It's been measured in clinical studies: gastroparesis, biliary disease, bowel obstruction, etc. All the forms of gastric and intestinal issues these drugs can trigger.

They are known risks. You've got to consult your doctor and decide what your individual profile can sustain.

The risks are very small for these issues. Stop the hysteria. We get it. You hate the idea that fat people have a chance to not be fat. [/quote]

Yeah! I'm not a dr but I'm fairly certain that the risks of obesity are way higher than these risks. [/quote]

Exactly! One of the most dangerous medications out there is actually Tylenol. No one is coming on here daily saying "don't take Tylenol."[/quote]

If people were talking about taking Tylenol after or while drinking, I would most certainly say "hey, you probably don't want to do that." No one is saying don't take Wegovy, they are saying, consider seriously the risks. I don't know why people feel like that is so horrible or aggressive. [/quote]

Because people aren't just saying "consider the risks." Come on. Have you been on DCUM in the past year? Look at every thread started on this topic. It's nothing but hate for "morally failing fat people" who dare to consider getting some help to get their weight under control. Everything carries risk. Driving to work carries a lot of risk but we do it because it's necessary.[/quote]

Well you are replying to me and that’s what I’ve said. It is so odd that so many people assume that a word of caution is perceived as a negative. It would be great if this drug helped people lose weight and lowers risk of heart attacks and stroke and helps people stop drinking etc [b]with no adverse side effects of note[/b], but IMO the odds of that are low. [/quote]

It's not a realistic expectation that a drug would have NO adverse side effects of note. Even common drugs like Tylenol do-but millions of people use it everyday. I have adverse reactions from aspirin (stomach pain and ear ringing) but aspirin has benefited millions of people.

The majority of people who use semaglutides have little to no side effects. A few people have serious side effects. Sounds like just about every other med out there.[/quote]
