re: Miracle weight loss shots hyped by Hollywood linked to deadly bowel obstructions

My relative is an example of someone who probably needs it. She’s eating herself into a grave and the more she gains, the worse she’s getting with every imaginable disease and ailment. She’s completely discouraged and losing about 50 lbs would allow her the ability to move around more and likely be encouraged to continue her progress. But there is a severe psychological issue going on for her to have allowed herself to gain 150+ lbs in a decade, most of which has been the last 4-5 years. THAT has to be addressed or it’s all for nothing. I would like to see her simply get some weight off so that she has a chance to address the real systemic psych issues. I think she’s down a serious dark hole and sees no way out right now.

THAT is who this medicine should be reserved for (if for weight loss and not diabetics).
