I just read about the above which is going to be available in the UK in a couple of months' time, starting at BMI 27 with one co-morbidity (otherwise BMI 30).  It's a daily injection in the stomeach, first thing in the morning and weightloss is around 20lb in 12 months.  I know it doesn't sound like much, but if you've got a pre-historic sleeve then this sounds good.

Further details are here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2924101/Miracle-dail y-diet-jab-2-drug-helps-lose-19lbs-available-NHS-months.html

Not sure if anyone has tried it in the US yet, but I thought this may be of interest to y'all.

wow, never heard of that.  I did some kind of weight loss drug years ago but then they came back with all kinds of problems with it.  And what happens when you stop it?  maybe end up gaining it all back plus.  We have all been through that already.  Hopefully it will help some.

I remember some appetite suppressant years ago that got withdrawn... I just can't remember the name.

I think this drug is one to be used long term.  It's better than nothing and hopefully will help those who already have had WLS.
