OZEMPIC: the scourge Anonymous 11/20/2024 (Wed) 17:38:49 Id:cf2524 No. 56809
Maybe i'm alarmist but i'm genuinely concerned that ozempic's going to make fat girls an endangered species in the US/Canada. Everything I hear seems to suggest: >15%+ loss in body weight after a year of taking it, worlds better than any other drug that helps with weight loss >a lot of unexpected benefits besides diabetes control and weight loss >still expensive, but cost has already lowered 40% since introduction to US markets, with promises of getting cheaper over time I thought it was the best time in history to be into fat girls, since obesity is the least stigmatized in the US it's ever been, but is the sun setting on our empire..? granted i'm a loser but i'm only just starting to become romantically/sexually active and this keeps me up at night a little. this is like if a breakthrough medication hit the streets to make tomboys girlier or busty girls flatter or ditzy girls smarter

>>56809 OH MY FUCKING GOD CAN WE PLEASE BAN THIS GUY For the last time, Ozempic is not going to ruin the fetish. Please stop spamming this "concern" / "alarm" on every single thread. It's only going to get more expensive, and no one in this fetish will be able to afford it. It's a non issue.

Where is the proof that it's only going to get more expensive? Actually I think that we've never been so fat in history but also so close to end obesity.

>>56819 Demand increases, supply dwindles, price goes up. It's a valid economic projection. Same with insulin. Just like South Park put it: Ozempic for the rich, body positivity for the rest of us.

>>56820 In 5 years it'll be generic in the US, at which point the price will plummet. (The US represents 70% of Novo Nordisk's profits atm.) The only "hope" for FAs like us is that they find major side effects in the meantime. Or Trump guts the ACA and private insurance stops covering it. RN most public plans (Medicare/Medicaid-based) only cover it for full-on diabetes and once that's gone they cut you off.

I guess it's mostly middle-aged people who are using it.

>>56857 My gf is on Mounjaro because she needs to lose weight for an operation. She really doesn't enjoy taking it due to side effects and hasn't lost *that* much on it. Hopefully normal service will resume next year.

>>56875 That's another thing... In their current versions GLP1 drugs will enable a 15-20% loss in body weight. That's a lot if you're 180 lbs, and could bring you down from obese to "overweight." But if you're 350 it's noticeable but you're still pretty damn fat.

>>56857 It's going to be really sad to see fat women go away. But we'll always have the memories, and lots of content.

>>56819 You're right that Europeans and other civilized places don't understand the shitshow that is the US medical-industrial complex. Lucky them. But in this case he's right, even if he doesn't know why. Drug prices in the US are actually regulated, even if we pay 10-100x what other countries do. So even when there's a shortage it's very illegal to charge more. Unless of course if you're talking under the table transactions, in which case it's like talking about cocaine and has nothing to do with doctors or prescriptions.

>>56883 At her biggest she was like 353 at 5ft4, but that was a while ago. Got down up 290 with work stress. Gained back to 335 after getting a new job and then started taking it. She's like 305 at the moment and seems to have stalled.

Fat women are too busy working theater of seeing Wicked

>>56809 With the level of ignorance and mistrust of medicine nowadays I severely doubt that Ozempic will make a meaningful difference. Y'all should be more worried about the normalization of LIKING fat women. The amount of competition for them is absolutely insane right now. That's done way more harm to an aspiring FA than anything. You're worried about supply but it's the demand that's insatiable and only getting worse with time.

>>56968 That's because Merkel and Thatcher had backgrounds in science before politics while applying their work. Without those two, the Tories are serial liars and the rest of Europe descends into nationalism because Macron is too ineffectual to govern. It doesn't help as Briton likes to play themselves as working class while Manchester are turbo whores.

>>56809 It should be MANDATORY that all fat men get put on Ozempic. Women should be entirely banned from using it. Fat men = disgusting; fat women hot

>>57245 I agree fat men are disgusting as shit. Ozempic fuckimg sucks, one of my favorite plus size models is using it and losing weight. I thought body positivity was loving your body at every size, not losing weight losing their sexiness. Fuck all these weight loss shit I hope there is some weird monkey paw affect. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8N2Ny7f/

If ozempic does get popular and cheaper, it's gonna enable bitches to act even more like fat pigs because they will see it as a lifeline if they gain a bunch. Some will then get on it but drop it due to routine, side effects, or cost. Ozempic for weight loss will likely not be covered by insurance unless a bitch gets really fat
