To wonder if there will be any fall out from skinny jabs?

[TheLemonGuide]

Everyone I know is now suddenly very slim. Okay, im exaggerating slightly, but genuinely, most of my friends who were previously overweight are all now slim thanks to skinny jabs. I am delighted for them! It seems unbelievable to think that a jab can cure this obesity crisis, but I am so pleased my friends and a couple of family members are able to live a healthier life thanks to this.

My only slight concern is, is this something that is going to be too good to be true? Do you think there will be any long term repercussions, or are we right to just celebrate this medication as a cure for something that so many have been battling for so long?

I haven't RTT however I think the biggest impact will be that it's a medicine for life and it has been shown that millions of NHS users are willing to self finance it. I think the flood gates will open for private healthcare because people are clearly willing and able to finance themselves for things that benefit them.

The medical system balances the idea of self injection, that is a big step always and not trivial, and the immediate need and threat the condition poses.

People on here have already proven how twisted it has become for them. Fanatically trivialising the process of, and fact of being allowed to do it, even using comparisons to conditions that can end with death rapidly potentially in minutes to hours but often rapidly even if slightly longer.

And death… you forgot to mention death…. We are all going to die!!!

I would think a few possible fall outs, but this is purely speculative:

1. Possible long term side effects that will only come with time
2. Possibility of the jabs not working forever - developing tolerance
3. Possibility of jabs becoming unaffordable either to individuals or due to wider economic factors.

Ahhh. Yet another faux concern / faux curiosity thread about WLI on here. This hasn't been done 100 times before. Very original.

Good point.

Oh, like Thalidomide you mean?

long term issues aren’t known (50/60 years)

Smoking was encouraged!

I’d be very surprised if there weren’t issues later on down the line but I have no need for them; no one in my family or close friendship group have any need for them - so i can’t say I give it much of a fig beyond always chuckling when I see when of these faux concern threads pop up and know how they’re going to go!

But then there is/was going to be an obesity crisis. So users of wli are trying to do something. There is going to be a dental crisis with not enough NHS dentists. A sugar crisis etc. Might be botox/filler crisis. We will only know when/if it happens.

Did you worry about all these women before? What with them being at risk of several other serious health problems?

I will take a hip fracture in 10 years over death by stroke or heart attack etc in 5 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh my. Thalidomide is the reason why medications go through extensive trials, and why WLI are not approved for use by pregnant women.

As for comparing a new medication to smoking, wow. Madness.

Thalidomide is still an extremely useful drug.

We learned from thalidomide though.

The smoking thing is weird becsue I can’t fathom why anyone ever thought inhaling shit I to their lungs was ever going to end well. People didn’t have the knowledge back then but they didn’t lack intelligence.

erm are you not aware of the pending lawsuits? stomach paralysis amongst horrific side affects.....there is no way this 'medication' is safe.

I also show this to my children. I regularly workout, eat healthily and now feel amazing too. It's not an 'easy way out' at all, I've had to put in a lot of work into it to maintain and keep healthy.

I’m convinced it will. Unless the relationship with food is altered, one would have to stay on the jabs indefinitely. Is this safe? Side effects have been identified in people who have used the jabs for a short time.
The OP’s question is valid and not necessarily an indication of ‘faux concern’.
I have struggled with my weight for my entire adult life, I have recently lost over five stone by dieting. Obviously, I am as much risk of regaining the weight as somebody who is using the injections, but without the potential side effects of the drugs.

I’m not aware?

The price of desperation to lose a few pounds

Dont worry, the laboratory animals are taking the hit!
Edit: great minds think alike @Frostingle

Not for at least one of the purposes it was originally prescribed for!

I also nearly died from a bowel obstruction likely due to wli. I'm not an alcoholic and the majority of my life (except last 6-7 years) have been a normal weight. Very rare but it can happen. Ironically since the surgery I've lost a lot more weight than I did on the jabs due to reduced appetite. My concerns before taking them were mostly longer term effects on the pancreas. Obviously they are used for diabetics but they already have a pancreas which isn't functioning properly, which knows what that effects on a healthy pancreas will be.

A friend works in a GP surgery and she says if diabetics are being prescribed mounjaro they have an appointment first to teach them how to inject properly. I agree it's straightforward, but the stupidity of some people is astonishing and I do think there should be more oversight.

It’s not just WLI though, even if the DM want to get you all riled up.

What kind of "fall out" are you hoping for?

People stay on them because they treat the underlying metabolic causes of obesity.
Other people receive lifelong medication for other conditions and no one bats an eyelid!

I had several changes within one week of taking a GLP1 which have improved my life as much as losing weight.

Obesity goes way beyond being lazy and stupid, but too many are stuck in the ignorant mindset.

A lot of ignorance on these threads as usual.
