Dr told me [after losing 20kg] that I'm too fat and I should try injections for weight loss

    My first thought too.

    Ask for the reasons and then go and see another doctor for a second opinion ... If the injections are seconded there it is a good hint that they are actually necessary.

    This 100%!

    I’d be really interested in what he’s suggesting. Sounds crazy to me!

    Not sure where you are but if in the U.S., was this from your primary care doctor or a doctor at one of those weight loss "clinics"? If the latter those clinics often push B-12 injections as some kind of miracle serum...

    Or the second doctor is equally incompetent. It could go either way. Depends on what these proposed injections are and the reasoning behind them.

    What everyone has said plus being scared of needles is like the least reason not to do whatever this jerk says.

    That's only 44 pounds. You don't need injections.

    Injections of what, anyway?
