I doubt it has anything to do with the drugs. Similar to posts about transfer addiction from weight loss, there are various experiences that go hand in hand with rapid weight loss. Temporary loss of libido is a very common issue during the high weight loss timeframes. I would not draw a straight line between wls drugs and side effects that are common with any rapid and extreme weight loss.
It highlights the increasing awareness and interest in weight management medications
I completely agree with your concerns. Relying solely on hunger suppression is rarely a sustainable solution, and the safety issues only add to the skepticism. We really need a treatment that addresses the root causes rather than just masking the symptoms.
Was reading this tragic item in the new earlier this week, and noted that the defendant claims in the last paragraph of same:
- * * * * *
Per the affidavit, when asked by police about the allegations against her, Fortinberry did not say she regretted her actions. Instead, she told the officer she "regrets the day that she lost weight" and "doesn't think she would run into any of these issues if she was still 150 pounds heavier."
* * * * * *
Defendant's claim got me to wondering if maybe she is suffering from a transfer addiction (i.e. sex), big time, as often occurs following major weight loss (even w/o WLS ?) .. and possibly/probably other post-op psychological "issues" as well ..

What do you think -- legit claim possibly, or just an excuse?

I also find this information quite concerning. If injectables like Ozempic indeed have a negative impact on libido and sexual intimacy, it's definitely something to consider carefully before using them. However, with conflicting studies out there, it might be wise to wait for more independent and objective research to get a complete picture. Thanks for sharing this, and I'll be keeping an eye on any further updates on this topic.
Well, this doesn't sound good .. 
I didn't know that the injectables work as "anorectics", i.e. suppressing hunger .. That fact alone should make them suspicious in regard to their efficacy (not to mention the safety issues which have since come out 
), as we all know those type of drugs usually don't work long term (or even short term for those people who don't "overeat"), and stop working as soon as the patient goes off of them .. 
I had hoped that somehow they worked in a different, unique manner ..

Hair loss, not different from what we sometimes experience as a result of WLS .. Fortunately, just like with WLS, it is NOT permanent:

I?m curious if anyone else has noticed changes or experienced anything like that.
It's wonderful that you're considering how to approach this with your kids. You might start by explaining it in a way that's age-appropriate for each of them.
