I live somewhere in rural Austria European Union
I have in mind to ask my doctor on the next visit for Ozempic if she would prescribe it? If I should take it? And if it would be covered by the Insurance because its very expensive? Do you think Ozempic would help me? I think better then bariatric surgery?

My current weight on my scale, date: October 7th 2024
 
no, you should decrease your Fettanteil and increase your Muskelmasse through diet and exercise.

and, seriously, that KKK avatar has got to go...
 
Of course diet and excersise, but you think Ozempic doesnt help additionally with it?
I think the only thing that works is a lifestyle change, and Ozempic is the opposite of a lifestyle change.

I also think that the cliche "If it sounds too good to be true...." is correct 99.9% of the time.
 
146.4 Kg ?
There are smaller baby Rhinos .
And you are only five feet tall !!!!

First get your brain totally into gear .
Because you are so weak willed and stupid I think you should go to Weight Watchers for at least the first few months .
It will help force you into routines and to face up to facts in front of others .
Come on Mr Piggy .
Show us . You might meet a soul mate , depending on which gender you currently now identify with .

Of course you are --- 5feet seven inches .
But the point stands .

Your body mass index is off the scale -- diabetes a certainty and next week a heart attack . Let alone the pressure on your joints etc etc
Time for action , Morticia .
Now .

Say Thank You , Aunty luiza
Its all true, i feel very "heavy" when i walk and my joints and knees hurt, i barely can walk, i feel as if im a heavy stone or carry a heavy stone. Thats why i decided to take action now.

I goad you constantly . But I really wish you well .

Your degree of success will totally depend on your level of determination and bloody mindedness .

The two things are not mutually exclusive. Something like Ozempic can be used in conjunction with a lifestyle change, or even to help facilitate the change

are you diabetic?.....if not why take a diabetic medicine?...it could fuck you up with something else...
 
start small if you have to

go for walks, eat a little better

it gets easier, but you have to do it every day

that's the hard part, you have to do it every day.

i don't trust ozempic as a weight loss drug

we're too close to it to have perspective. In time we will have a fuller understanding of all the long term side effects

it does to a non diabetic what it does to a diabetic when they dont need it to do that.....it could cause something to happen to offset the chemistry of your body....you might lose weight only to have another problem...lots of stomach issues for non diabetic people...
 
Interesting about the pricing...from Wikipedia

Ozempic, the semaglutide injection used for T2D treatment, has a list price of $936 in the United States and $169 in Japan. Prices were $147 in Canada, $144 in Switzerland, $103 in Germany and Netherlands, $96 in Sweden, $93 in the United Kingdom, and $87 in Australia. France had the lowest price at $83." (21 August 2023; figures refer to a one-month supply)
 
Morticia , Be aware of comments like these:-
Make sure you involve your GP with any proposed action .

Safety concerns related to Ozempic (semaglutide) include:

  1. Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
  2. Changes in vision
  3. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
  4. Kidney problems (kidney failure)
  5. Serious allergic reactions
Additionally, there have been reports of overdosing and associated health incidents with weight loss drugs containing semaglutide. Research also suggests an increased risk of severe stomach problems for people taking weight loss drugs like Ozempic.

well, to be frank, I'd be surprised if Mortimer wasn't diabetic.

in any event, still wary of the implications of ozempic as a weight loss drug, if only because the vast majority of such drugs do not promote lifestyle changes, which leads to rebound weight gain in the long term, like the majority of people who get gastric bypass surgery experience.
