It’s a lifetime drug. If you get off it, the average gain back is abt 2/3 of weight lost, if I remember that right. The problem is that it changes your digestive system so that rather than having less appetite, you’d have more. Again, that’s only a fuzzy memory. I’m on a pill version and, so far, all side effects have been purely positive. My diabetes numbers, as well as all others, have dropped into the normal range. Don’t know if I would have agreed to go on it if I’d known more about people who had scary side effects, but my A1C diabetes number was out of sight and doctor was pushing forever, so I gave in. Pure luck, for which I’m grateful, that none of the bad side effects happened.
So you will be on it for life?
