Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

Ok...so not available...so how is it that you think I must be on Wegovy?
What defect of personality is it that makes you think is appropriate to tell a complete stranger that they are mistaken about the drug that they are taking (have been taking for eight months, and took last night before bed), about the dose (Ozempic is only available as 1mg), or that they have lost too much weight?
Seriously, what is wrong with you. Have you considered seeking professional help?
I started out at 283. I got an to 265 then my doctor started me on Ozempic. I'm not some lazy fuck who just lies around waiting for the drug to make me thin. I've dramatically changed my eating habits and I live an active lifestyle for someone my age and weight. I leaned into the drug and did better than most people. (Look up the medical definition of "typical".)
It was the extra inch and a half of penis that triggered you, wasn't it? Sorry, dude. Not everyone is cutout for porn.
Woah, that was alot. It wasn't my intention to downplay your efforts. I was just trying to figure out how you were paying $650/month in a Country where it costs $220-280 depending on the pharmacy. There is no place in this country where you should be paying that much, my questions were asked so I could figure out if you were taking an off label dosage.
I don't give a fuck about your small dick, or your exercise routine I was just interested in your dosage and why you were paying so much.
Congratulations on doing well on Ozempic, very few stick with it over the side effects. Friend of mine just got put on it, 4 weeks of 0.25, 4 weeks of 0.50 4 weeks of 0.75 and only then will he get 1mg. Alot of people don't do well on the drug. I'm sorry I came off as a dick I just didn't want you to be scammed. $650 is inline with what Wegovy will sell for in Canada when available this spring. So I thought maybe you got it early. My apologies for any offense I caused
I don't pay a penny for Ozempic. My insurance covers the entire cost with no deductible. It's cheaper to have me lighter and healthy than it is to have me fat and diabetic with high blood pressure or dead. The $650 is what my pharmacist told me that it cost without insurance. I don't know if that's true and I honestly don't care.
I suspect that the people who are failing on Ozempic expected it to be a miracle drug that suddenly and effortlessly made them skinny. That isn't me. I worked hard to get to where I am and I'm still working hard. I'm the lightest I've been since my late teens at 201 lbs as of 5 minutes ago.
