I agree with Ron ricks,MoJeaux and other downvoters.I wouldn’t take any new meds that come out for at least 5 years.
I would rather have the gastric sleeve surgery if I wanted to lose weight badly enough.I know 6 people that had the surgery,it’s done laparoscopically and recovery was pretty easy.All 6 initially lost a good bit of weight,Two years later 5 of the 6 were right back where they started before surgery.
I worked with 2 women that got on fen-phen,1 developed pulmonary hypertension.She lost weight for sure but she had some tough years before she died,
I also remember Bextra,Celebrex and Vioxx.It worked well for some people but caused heart attacks and death in some.
As far as the Covid “vax”,I know a lot of people that took it and most had no side effects,knew of a few that had some blood clotting problems including a lady that a massive stroke next day.
Most of them got Covid anyway,some 2-3 times.

I understand the difficulty of controlling appetite,I struggle with it constantly.
My motivation is I want to avoid being on any prescription meds.73 and so far have not had to start taking any,had lab work 2 weeks ago and every thing was good,BP also.

GLP-1s have been around since late 80s and FDA approved in 2005. They are extremely safe across a massive sample size and time.

1. Educate yourself with intention from a starting point of neutrality.

2. Apologize to a lot of people

Been used to treat diabetes for 10 years or so, I think. Similar medications have been studied for around 20, although I could be wrong.

I know several orthopedic docs who were against taking that medicine off the market. It did have side effects when used long tern for things like arthritis, but they felt it was still a good drug for treating things that were short term injuries.
