The VA offered me this option. Thanks to a video I saw by Tucker Carlson I turned it down.

I asked VA for it and they approved. I am Type 2 diabetic. It replaced metformin.
I lost 30 lbs in a heart beat.
My guts were ok. I played a lot of golf from march to october so i was getting a fair amount of exercise.
I asked if they could up the dosage(I was trying to lose an extra 10-15 lbs)
they approved.
my guts went haywire. I was in a constipation-diarrhea cycle that was driving me nutz.
I asked if it was ok to back off. They approved.
My guts are back to somewhat normal.
My exercise has gone dormant in the winter
I put on back on 20 lbs. as I am eating thru the appetite suppression.

Time to do something different.

When I last to my doctor, Ozempic came up and we both agreed that it's a bad drug. No way she would ever recommend it, no way I would ever take it.

Just wait, in a few years there will many TV ads starting out with the words, "If you or a loved one was injured by ......"
