Ive done and passed all stages..i just needed to give my card details.

And once you pay, it gets reviewed and will be rejected and refunded.

Why did you fill it all out? Hoping for a gotcha?

The order gets reviewed by a doctor, usually with photos as well. If they are concerned then they don’t prescribe and will refund your money. The website is just for gathering info.

Sounds like a scam. Your BMI is in the "normal" range.

I feel like the online consult is just getting information - I’m sure at the prescriber stage it’ll get rejected?

Yup. You need to send photos and everything now, don’t you?

Lennonjingles · 11/03/2026 15:22

Well yes, you don’t qualify for them free, so if you want them you have to pay. I am 5ft 3 and 12 stone, I don’t qualify, but that’s fine, I would rather try and loose the weight naturally.

What is the purpose of this?!

Trusttheawesomeness · 11/03/2026 15:21

why did you do this? And why are you calling them skinny jabs? Not really sure this is true or in good faith.

dementedpixie · 11/03/2026 15:21

Do you actually want them or were you testing them to see how ethical they were about who they prescribe to?

So the issue is with this prescriber rather than the jabs themselves?
