The link seems obvious, honestly. If you get a vaccine, that’s .5ml adding to your body weight… you go get in a pool without factoring that in, next thing you know, you’re at the bottom running out of air. If he ate within half an hour of getting in… well, he was just courting death at that point.

Not sure why people downvote this, it’s objectively correct. We bred these dogs to be what they are, we can absolutely breed something else to take its place. This is really basic evolution and trait selection.

I think they’re great looking dogs, but I also think they need a similar ban in the US, barring a few highly specialized breeders, who can essentially reverse what was done to them over a period of generations. I don’t want to see them go away entirely, I’d just like them controlled until we can breed out what we’ve bred in.

I had actually looked into that and yeah, because it isn’t technically indicated for weight loss most insurance companies have dropped covering it barring severe medical need. Unfortunately, I’m like 80lbs overweight, and even having high blood pressure wasn’t enough to drop the $300/no it would cost out of pocket.

It makes sense, I mean why cover $300/mo while I lose weight when you can cover my eventual six figure bypass and hospital stay, or roll the dice and hope I just die?

I did hear that there is some version of it that has (or is soon getting) approval for weight loss so… maybe!

Every time I see one of these weight loss miracles, I wait for the other shoe to drop… and it usually does.

As I have learned the hard way in my own life, the weight loss miracle is setting a calorie limit and strictly adhering to it (barring medical complications… which, let’s face it, most of the people who say those cause issues with them losing weight probably don’t have them).

The weight loss miracle I’m waiting on is the pill that rewires your brain to change your relationship with food because, man… that’s the hard part. Having to constantly fight my own brain - no, you aren’t hungry, you’re bored; yes, you actually are satisfied eating a happy meal for 550 cals, you actually do not need a 2 cheeseburger meal large size at 1200 cals, and so on - that’s the struggle for me. I’m down from 270 to 240 so far, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t still a constant fight, which is probably what makes relapsing after taking all these drugs such a common thing.

One of those weird, rare situations where Google seems to do something right. They said the cost was $100, and every month I pay $100. I’m assuming fees are built into that, but my bill never deviates from the price I was told, which is really all I care about.
