"Am i a sports journalist...yes i am."

Of course you are

If you’re doing some sort of expose on some dodgy WLI company, I really don’t understand why you’ve decided to come on Mumsnet first. Surely your greatest weapon is surprise… and fear. Fear and surprise… And efficiency: ruthless efficiency.

I’ll come in again.

That's not the end of it. You pay and then your order is reviewed. If you are rejected - which you will be- your money is refunded.

This. Your money will be refunded. But I actually don’t believe a word you’ve said.

If you've fully paid up and been approved by a prescriber, withought having to evidence your weight and hight, then you absolutly need to report the pharmacy.

And I'm a currrent mj user.

Until they land on my doorstep i do not hae a correct 'paper trail' or even evidence. But considering ive just had notification of dispatch.
One will see.

To all the abusive posters, its more than imteresting. Most reactions are not normal.
I really do think there is more going on in this industry than meets the eye.

I won’t believe it until you name the provider, and I can’t understand how you would be paying so much. However if it is true then you are right to highlight it and report it. But I still don’t believe it is with a reputable provider.

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

This is the biggest load of BS I’ve read in a while.

21ZIGGY · 11/03/2026 17:19

I haven't read the full thread and i'm sure i'm repeating many others but why do you care.

Only people who haven't been fat want to stop this and get annoyed about it.

I really want to. But if i do then they might be aware.
I want them to be held accountable and it is high lighted soon.
It is 3rd or 4th on google of private 'skinny jabs'

SilenceInside · 11/03/2026 17:19

Why wouldn't you want them to be aware? That makes no sense. They need to be told that you are reporting them to the relevant regulatory bodies, that way they may change their processes before they get inspected. Surely that's the outcome that you want? Not telling them just delays any change and improvement.

Loads of scam websites willing to take your money.

If you hope it reaches national news outlets why won’t you name the pharmacy on here? You keep avoiding the question and it makes the whole thing sound fake.

Sooooooooo who prescribed you ?

we want to see evidence of the invoice an pen

no one charges £265 for 2.5

Show quote history

No one did. A quick look on the monj website shows the prices and even with p&p there’s nowhere charging that much, most are under £200 for the 2.5mg before any discounts.

NewZebra · 11/03/2026 17:15

Weird because you usually pay at the ordering stage, before a pharmacist has even looked at your order and approved it or not.

SilenceInside · 11/03/2026 17:13

@Enyastar as a health professional you'll know that it's the GPhC that regulate pharmacies, and/or the CQC. Those are the bodies that you need to complain to, as well as telling the pharmacy that you are going to notify their regulatory bodies.

So you've lied about your height and weight and paid £265 for something you don't want or need?

What a muppet!!

I lied about nothing!
Kind of the point.

Are you a 'sports journalist' on your own youtube channel? 😂

But the NHS won't prescribe it.
Why don't you want people to be able to lose weight?

People who are not overweight do not need to lose it, and the risks of these jabs are thus not outweighed by health benefits in doing so.

Well if they're not overweight and they wanted to lose weight then that's their lookout imo. It's expensive and there can be side effects and you have to still put the work in. It would be much better if the NHS would keep an eye on the people using it. My gp is very supportive of me using it because my liver is not fatty anymore. My rheumatologist is supportive because of the improvements to my hypermobility issues and joint pain and mobility. My gynaecologist is supportive because of the improvements to my prolapse symptoms and incontinence means I have been discharged!
Despite all that, when I asked my gp surgery if they could monitor me because sometimes I get things that I'm not sure if they are just side effects of mj. I've been told no. I should just be monitored by medexpress apparently.

I think it's shit that it's been harder and harder to get on the NHS, but the answer is not to try and stop private prescribers.
You don't have a clue about what people are dealing with and why they choose what they choose.
We aren't trying to look like fckn Kelly and Sharon Osborne, which iswhat it feels like the general publics opinion is.
Just trying to get our health under control.

Also if you are a journalist @Enyastar your proof readers/sub editors must do a lot of overtime
