    " For someone else, the side effects and cost are acceptable for the benefits they receive. We all pay differently but we still all pay. [/quote]"

    really good answer. We all do pay just differently. My sister had bariatric surgery and even though she has loss a lot of weight, fundamentally she hasn't learned any new nutrition skills just smaller portions of junk. The price she pays is the restriction in her portions as well as a limitation in how much water she can drink, which is a big issue in Australia.
    I hope my path will be different. I am changing and learning new skills

    To be fair to your sister, on some level, smaller portions of junk is a new nutritional skill compared to large portions of junk. And yes, absolutely, every form of weight loss has its own "price" to pay in its own way. I agree.

    This drug has been in trials for years. The side effects are really typical of most drugs. You are under Drs care while taking it like any other drug.
    I truly believe it is a personal choice but I feel bad for people who are considering it and all the noise by nay sayers. Some people can barely walk or breathe. If they had control this wouldn’t even be an issue. This drug can really help get things started and get them motivated, moving.
