There Are No More Excuses To Be Fat

[Kjm1960]

I understand that not all fat people can use Glp’s. I feel very fortunate that I was able to start with a local NP that used a compounder, moved to telehealth and once I felt comfortable to gray. But when I see severely obese folks struggle to move it truly saddens me. My thoughts go to you don’t have to be like that, I wish I could help.

I wish they would have people go through the same type of education for glps like the do with bariatric surgery.

GLP1s are FAR less dangerous. The death rate of bariatric surgeries is about 1% within 1 year of the procedure. The death rate from GLP1s is so low that when someone dies and it is even remotely linked to them it makes national news. While I have no idea what role GLP1 drugs are currently playing within weight loss management clinics at this time ... but if I had the option of a shot instead of a surgery I absolutely would have tried it first. In fact if I had known that GLP1 drugs were even on the horizon I would have just waited. $20k would have purchased a whole lot of injections even at full price.
