    I keep waiting for the big reveal that Ozempic and similar drugs destroy your heart or your bowels or your pancreas or something.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      there is a part of me that feels the same, the other part of me thinks that to the extent that they may cause those sorts of issues, will it be worse than the problems caused by being fat?

      it seems most doctors feel pretty good about them, if for no other reason than being fat is worse for a person's health than just about any potential side effect they aren't yet aware of.

              True, this could help a lot of people get into a much healthier range. But I'll bet that a lot of people have already done some serious damage to their bodies by the time they go on Ozempic.

              Either way, do you have to keep taking it to maintain results? Seems I remember that it kinda acts like an appetite repressor. So if go off it, get ready for the rebound. Am I wrong about that?

                  No, you are correct. People who go off of it quickly balloon their weight.

                  • I like to read. I can read fairly quickly and im satisfied with my abilities in comprehension. But when I need to read out loud I am not much better than my 10 year old. I'm reading Harry Potter to my 7 year old out loud and it's rough, man. I'm stumbling over words and mispronouncing the basics. So weird.

                      absolutely, but if you have money, why go off it? you don't.

                      but i agree with you. they best be praying there isn't some severe side effect to staying on a drug like that over a 10, 20, 30 year period.

                            You missed the People's Republic of Orecalistan as well as the great state of Upper Hillbillyana.
