So back in December, I had a checkup, and I was still dealing with a lot of weight issues and just not feeling like I couldn't lose weight and just being stuck. My blood pressure, my blood sugar, all these things were elevated. And so I messaged my doctor after my appointment and I asked about ozempic and my doctor messaged me back and told me your a one c is not at type two diabetic level, so therefore, no, I am not prescribing this for you

But I can say this, I have lost so much weight in the last year and a half, and I'm so grateful because, you know, struggling with my weight my whole life. But for people that don't have diabetes and they just want to lose weight, I just don't see it. I don't see why you would subject yourself to taking a medication that's used for something else just to help you lose weight. I mean, that's cosmetic right now

Hi, Tanya. Happy Sunday. So I am very glad you posted this because there's been a lot of talk against weight loss drugs. And I, for one, I'm here for it. I'm here for it. And I think I did as well, where people are hating on it, and I'm like, why are you hating on it? We don't like people being fat. We talk about people being fat and overweight, and yet people are doing something about it

You know, you're absolutely right, Angie, because my prescription for the manjaro and the trulicity, I would tell my husband all the time, I say, right here in my hand, because they would give me, like, a 90 day supply or whatever, right there in my hand would be $7,000 worth of medicine. And I told him, I said, do you realize how much this is? Just these. These pens that I have? $7,000, you know?
Thank you for posting this topic. I would say I probably hear the word at least six to eight times a week. Endozembic. Been out since about 2017 and as we know, it was indicated initially for diabetes. And during the study, they showed that one of the benefits was weight loss, and that is how it became such a target for weight loss

Hey, lady five. Yeah, I'm. I'm glad that thankfully, you're able to get it, because that's been a thing, too, in the news about. Because it's been out of stock that diabetics can't get it. And, um, I think when it comes to, like, me, for example, I'm not diabetic or pre diabetic. However, it runs in my family. Right
