Feckin furious about skinny jabs

I’ve been on the jabs for just over a year. I’ve lost 6 stone.

I have been with 2 pharmacies MedExpress, and currently Bolt.

Last month I paid for my Bolt renewal, but entered my weight wrongly, so they held it (after payment) so it could be reviewed.

On Med Express I was reviewed every month - after payment.

I can’t think of one pharmacy that is charging that amount for the lowest dose of MJ.

I am pleased that you are able to achieve and maintain the BMI you have. Some of us, despite years of trying, have not been able to. The WLI have helped us to become healthier .. I was on the list for a knee operation that I no longer need.

I suspect your original message is rage bait, and if that’s how you want to spend your day, that’s fine .. but it’s full of holes

Why would you want to do that? None of your ranting makes any sense. You just come across as unhinged

@Enyastar calling for better regulation or more frequent inspections of online pharmacies is fine. What is odd is to want no one at all, that’s hundreds of thousands of legitimate patients using them responsibly, to have access to an effective treatment. Seems a bit of a knee jerk reaction.

Right oh.

Who ARE the pharmacy I should say!

They don’t look at it before payment.
Onece you pay, afterwards you'll be asked to send pics, proof of id etc, and then if you don’t meet criteria they refund you. The prescribing clinicians are not going to waste time considering it before payment is taken. You've filled in an application form.

If you want to actually prove that youd qualify, put your money where your mouth is and pay. You'll get your money back.

This. Who is the pharmacy @Enyastar ?!

I agree OP. I think something that can cause pancreatitis and other side effects shouldn't be given out willy nilly. Yes if you have diabetes (originally developed for) or obese but not for normal BMI or in overweight range.

Considering OP describes themselves as an ex semi athlete (wtf?) and in a health field plus their aggression to others, I'd say they probably sell mlm products and are mad their business is being affected by jabs that actually work.
If OP is actually concerned about this unnamed pharmacy then report them. Otherwise move on with your life and let those who choose to use jabs make their own choices.

That's awful - who did you go to? Please name and shame.
I went with Lloyds Pharmacy and had to provide photos and a video of me on a scale moving between my face and my drivers licence ID and the weight on the scale and step on and off to prove it was me (BMI 33 at the time). It was very thorough.

As an ex-nurse, I never used the phrase "health industry", which makes me wonder exactly what the OP does (if they even do work in health). I never had any colleagues who'd have referred to healthcare as an industry, other than the sales reps

Calm down, Patrick Bateman!

They don’t look at it before payment.
You pay, then afterwards you send pics, proof of id etc and then if you don’t meet criteria they refund you

That is quite bizarre behaviour on your part

But you haven't proven anything until you have the medication in your hand.

Name the pharmacy or it didn't happen.

I’m confused - this is a spare time leisure activity? What is the point of trying to get a single prescription for something you neither want nor need in order to get super angry about it all yet powerless to actually change anything? Just put it in the box marked ‘step away from the irrational activity’ and get back to semi athleting (whatever that is!)

Pancreatitis, both acute and chronic which, although rare, we have evidence for. But I do confess it's more of a fear as I stressed. I also said it was a risk/benefit ratio. I also confess it is easy for me to say as I am not overweight.

She’ll be angry that you told her to lose weight! This is near enough my stats too and I’m chubby. I’d love to lose a stone - I’d look and feel so much better and my physio tells me it would help my knees so much, but I’d have to get so much fatter in order to access the jabs (and tbh being 1 stone over my ideal weight isn’t such a biggie for me).

Why didn’t you put all relevant info in the OP? You’d have found pps to be more engaged etc.

At the top of healthy range. Some people at that BMI want to lose; but not via WLI

I think most of us have guessed that you're feckin furious because you wanted to catch them out.

So what are you planning to do if it gets sent to you ? I assume you tested them because you want to notify People who could try and do something about it/Companies etc .

Sure you do 🙄.

Nothing wrong with being at the top of the healthy weight range - that is why there is a range.

What do you do in the health industry @Enyastar ?

Given there is an epidemic of obesity in the UK and globally what is it precisely about weightloss injections that grinds your gears so badly?

Do you also object to gastric bypasses, Orlistat, weightloss hypnotherapy, diets and so on?
