No thanks. My friend works in dermatology and he said he's hearing a lot of people are using it for weight loss who don't need it.

As far as I am concerned, it should only be used coupled with lifestyle and diet changes. Drop 5lbs with it and use the next few months to make further changes with your lifestyle and diet and then use it again for another 5 lbs.

Great thing about being a man is you don’t have to diet.

Agreed. Those drugs are too dangerous to use in the first place, and now everyone who wants that “beach body” are using it and harming themselves in the process.

There was a story a while back about a woman in Australia who was using Ozempic to lose weight ahead of her daughter’s wedding and it killed her.

Ozempic works by making you constantly nauseous.

i guess i don’t understand what difference it makes whether one is using this drug for a short period of time vs a long period of time in terms of potentially negative side-effects ... one would think that the negative-side effects would be even greater for those using the drug a long time to lose a substantial amount of weight than those using it for a short time ...

so if this doc is concerned about the number of young healthy folks landing in the ER with pancreatitis and other terrible health effects after short term usage, then it seems to me that should be a signal to doctors in general and the long term users that these are potentially very dangerous drugs and what they might be in for as well ...

it used to be that lap bands were only for those morbidly obese people...now look...every other person seems to get it even with just a small weight issue...

and botox...which is a legitimate drug option for severe muscular/neurological issues and now its used primarily for cosmetics...

we are such a drug addicted society....no wonder people are crazy..

Interesting update...

Mystery celebrity who fled Gwyneth Paltrow's Hamptons home after suffering 'catastrophic' diarrhea is REVEALED - as insiders claim bowel issues were NOT caused by Ozempic

Get this bit...

...Bowel moments were not a side-effect of Ozempic use as previously claimed...

Gee, according to this study from 2022 they are...
