Has anyone actually been prescribed any type of weight loss injection from the doctors?

Hi all.
I’ve been looking into ordering Mounjaro and reading up on side effects, doseage etc.
I’m 37yrs old, 5ft 8ins and 15st 8.
I absolutely hate the way I look and really struggle with my weight. Partly due to lifestyle - single mum who does alllll the running around so life is literally work, school runs and clubs so fitting in time to exercise is difficult although I’m hoping now the lighter evenings are coming I can take DC out for an evening walk etc.

My question: my BMI is 32, through the doctors I’ve tried the 12 week weight loss programme twice, tried Orlistat and literally got no where.
I have polycystic ovaries and feel like the symptoms of this have worsened with my weight

I’ll admit to eating when I’m not hungry, or when I’m bored and really need a kick start and see more than 3lbs loss on the scales 🙈

Has anyone here been prescribed any type of WLI from their doctors? Wondering if it’s worth trying to ask them for help again before I buy online? I’m not sure if the criteria is different depending on NHS trusts or not?

So I’ve decided to go for it and just ordered with Oushk pharmacy!
Thank you to @jeanclaude for the discount code and to @OntheTrainX- my photos are hideous so fingers crossed they’ll be accepted.
All being well (and approved) I should receive my pens on Tuesday 🤞

I found the doctors would play no part.

Diabetic with a bmi in the 40’s, whether or not I’m supposedly on pathway to remission.

Only ever received two months supply of Victoza (diabetic alternative to Saxenda) mid 23 for two months on a capped dose of 1.2, until the line went out of stock.

The only person who I know given it on the nhs/hospital prescription was later said to have got it in error (someone who was paralysed) and even they said they were no extensive checks given when I use to get wound up about it.

I approached my doctor at BMI 42 and was flatly refused.
