We have a Pain and Wellness Clinic in our office complex that hands that shite out like candy. It's private pay, so insurance isn't covering it. And they're prescribing at a stupid high dosage (one of my coworkers checked it out and it was damn near three times the dose my SO is on a year into taking it).

To be fair, it seems few people in those cases are using real Ozempic. They’re using compounds that don’t require a visit to the doctor.

There’s one on the H&F board. It’s disgusting.

The drug helps you with those lifestyle changes
Same way gastric bypass people lost weight by eating less
Technical correct I guess

I like to focus more on people like my FIL, who worked manual labor his entire life, which led to bad knees and a bad back, which led to less physical activity, which led to the weight slowly accumulating, to where he found himself almost completely inactive. He tried to "do it the right way" for several years, but he was in actual physical pain, and it never resulted in permanent solutions.
This is likely bullshite too though. Be honest, did he take care of himself or not? He likely neglected his body for decades WHILE doing manual labor

Food addiction is very similar to alcohol addiction but we're allowed to shame one and not the other.
We are in new times. You call a spade a spade and move one. If someone doesnt like it they will change their lives or not.
Honestly, one of the biggest things in rehab groups when you are in the thick of it, its personal responsibilty. The shite you have to hear about yourself from everyone in firestorm events is truly soul crushing.
You have to be crushed to be built back up.

Brah, dont get mad at me. Like I said I dont care but it does show laziness to some degree.
This drug is being used by some who dont need it to lose summer vacation weight and some who want to use it so they can workout less.

Yeah. It happens. And a lot of times it happens slowly, over decades.
I'm not sure why you think its "bullshite' though.
He will tell you that he didn't take care of himself and allowed himself to get to that point.

Because a lot of people with “knee problems” wouldn’t have knee problems if they took care of themselves. Neglecting your body is neglecting your body, and if you use it as your source of income especially, you should know better

Everyone i know who's in the category got denied by their insurance and is paying out of pocket. Insurance companies are masters of getting out of paying for shite.

Yes, the man was clearly not doing knees over toes front lunges routinely.
The point, isn't whether or not he was the cause of his own problems, that is obvious, the point was that over years of physical wear and neglect and the slow creep of weight, a man was on path to an early death, and despite attempts to correct, failed each time, due to reasons of his own doing.
The drugs helped him push past all of that and he now has greatly improved his life.

Why did you have to go to rehab? Why didn’t you just use mental strength to do it?

My SO is on Ozempic as a diabetic. It's replaced almost all of his diabetic medication (so the side effects of the Ozempic are significantly better than what he was having to use). One of the biggest things he's talked about is the reduction of food rumination for him.
That said, I know women who are using it to lose just 5-10 pounds that could easily be lost with making some minor lifestyle changes. That's probably where I am judgmental about it. Especially when my SO had some trouble getting his meds when it first got really big and you couldn't find it anywhere.
My father is a type II diabetic. He eats better now and has lost what he needed, he wasnt ever obese or anything, just carried some extra weight but loves food, loves it.
He will not take this drug.

Semaglutide's primary positive effect is significant weight loss, but it also offers benefits like improved blood sugar control, reduced cardiovascular risk, potential anti-inflammatory properties, and may even help manage chronic kidney disease
you stand your ground!!! how dare you subject your ill dad to those effects
OVER YOUR DEAD BODY RIGHT?
Significant weight loss:
Clinical trials have shown that semaglutide can lead to substantial and sustained weight loss in individuals with obesity or overweight, even without significant dietary changes.
Improved blood sugar control:
By stimulating insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release, semaglutide effectively manages blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes.
Cardiovascular benefits:
Studies have indicated that semaglutide can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes, even in individuals without diabetes, potentially due to its effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation.
Appetite suppression:
By mimicking GLP-1, semaglutide promotes feelings of fullness and reduces hunger, leading to decreased calorie intake.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects:
Emerging research suggests that semaglutide may have anti-inflammatory properties, potentially contributing to overall health benefits beyond weight loss.
Kidney disease management:
Some studies indicate that semaglutide might help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

A lot of those people revert back to fatass status.
You dont need a drug to help you with your lifestyle changes. You need a clear mind.

Nobody cares about your opinion, you mentally weak rehab attendee.

This is a legitimate usage then.
I am mainly talking your 30 year old women up that are using this to drop the smaller amounts of weight instead of getting on a GD bike.
