Just why. ?
As a previously obese woman, who has been lucky enough to qualify for free.. why ON Earth Is this medication being restricted to only those who can afford to pay for it. ???
Up until age 45 I had no problem with my weight . Always 5’7 and between 63 & 66 kg.. I got Chrohns .. but was lucky enough to get in the slow gut emptying trial.. up until then (11 years ) I was on steroids , predisalone .. waiting outside the bakers for the pasties .. had a gastric sleeve on the NHS .. not easy ,21 stone to 16 stone ) lots of push. resulted in tier 4 .. where I was told that a pork pie contained more calories than a salad . (Of course It was because FAT MEANS STUPID !!) .. and then the miracle that is Mounjaro .. seven stone later I’m an 8:10 .. but that’s grand but not the big win .. for sure my ego is boosted because I had the money for a tummy tuck to rid myself of the 21lbd of excess skin .. but the big winner is my drain on the NHS ..
