Anyone using Wegovy?

By "effectively" self prescribed do you mean that I myself chose and authorised this treatment and a doctor just rubber-stamped it?

It surely seems like it - which on its own is 'ok whatever' but when you see folk with other issues proposing a cocktail of drugs to help accelerate stunted weight loss it is quite worrying.

Of course it's insane to just recommend a cocktail of drugs - but no GP is going to approve that regimen, so the only way to do it would be to lie in your history and hope that your NHS record hasn't been updated with the private prescriptions, and for said GP to not do any kind of checking.

One of the posts literally advises to go private to get the answer you want and then railroad it into your regular GP lol. It is guidance on how to frig the drug to your desired doses.

But whatever, not a medical thread right

Worrying for who? You? Why?

Have you taken any of these products?

Do you know anyone who's taken any of these products?

Are you considering taking any of these products?

Have you researched any of these products, and if so can you post your sources?

You can see where I'm going with this right?

In case it's not clear, it's got absolutely nothing to do with you, you have no clue what you're talking about, you have no horse in this race and yet you're still in here sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.

Again.


Ask questions all you want and I'm sure people will happily answer them but but bringing your ignorance and your comments in to yet another thread where you've got no clue is only gonna go one way isn't it?
 
Update on my OH. She’s been on wegovy now since August and has dropped from 20st 10lb to 17st 0.5lb.

Still a long way to go but as a person who has had a very unhealthy relationship with food. The lack of noise in the single biggest thing helping her on at the moment.

She steadily increased dose to 1.7mg which she’s maintained for 3 months now I believe. She won’t move up until her appetite comes back before injection day.

Privately prescribed via boots (who need weights and photos before they first prescribe) and have been paying full price for it.

Tbh it’s cheaper than the gym + therapy, which neither have worked in the past.

Good for her. I bet her health is much better now too. Keep it up, or down if you like.lol
 
Dunno why you hammering dlockers on the self prescribed issue.
He's basically correct ,answer 3 or 4 yes no questions and you'll be approved. Take some fake pictures, make up some numbers.
Bend the truth and you can get what you want for the right price.

Except mac10s

Proper uncontrolled Diabetic here, I think it's finally working, well the food suppression side.
Since Monday I've been in a Warners Hotel (Butlins for OAPs) with as much food as I can eat and I don't want any or very little.
The little bit I do have starts repeating on me and I feel awful because my stomach feels all horrible.
It's nearly 11am, I've had nothing eat since a fish at 7.30pm yesterday and I'm 12.7 on my bloods :(
 
When I first got it i felt physically repulsed/sick by dairy products and things I new to be high fat.
Weird how the brain works.
My suger is well handled, I'm still too fat but that's cos I'm lazy and still eat excess.

I take tiny amounts compared to what the starvation gang is prescribed :p

If you have a problem with the thread or any posts, then there is a 'Report' button which will bring it to the moderators attention and they will decide whether it is appropriate or not to have a thread/post telling people to see a doctor. Otherwise, stop doing your usual and making a thread about you, rather than the actual subject being discussed. I see the irony in replying, but maybe it will spur you to have some self reflection for the future. I thank you.
 
I see his point, I ask a simple question about medical cannabis and it gets deleted but this discussion about a really nasty drug is allowed to stay.

I know right. This darn life saving drug which has multiple uses is such a terrible thing to discuss.
We should all be banned.
 
Then go and see your doctor. Just because you had an adverse reaction to something, doesn't mean others will. The world doesn't revolve around you (and dLockers).

It would be like me trying to shut down a thread about making peanut butter, because I'm allergic to peanuts.

My point was my thread about legal medical cannabis got deleted but something that harms some people stays, keep up.
