The way I see it, it’s the drug’s job to get my weight and A1C within proper goals but then it’s MY job to keep it there. These drugs are meant to shrink your stomach so you are less hungry. If you lack discipline, you’ll just Oprah the rest of your life which is bad for your heart. Also, I don’t expect to live forever. If my Lord wants me Home sooner, who am I to argue?

You have a very good 1950s understanding of the problem.

Thats not how it works and discipline has nothing to do with it.

That's not even close to how these drugs work. Why comment when you don't have even the most basic understanding of the medicine's action?

Everything you said was accurate, except for the stomach shrinking part, although it may feel like your stomach is smaller, and it may shrink off you eat less.
