I take Ozempic due to type 2 diabetes my doctor started me on it a few years ago when metformin quit being effective by itself I’ve been dealing with pre diabetes most of my life and in 2007 was diagnosed with it. If anyone asked me I am overweight but would NEVER take this as a weight loss solution first off the side effects can possibly cause you major health issues secondly it is for Chronic diseases not short term use. Due to the diabetes i have labwork done every three months the only way I will be able to quit taking it is if my A1C levels drop below 6.0 and stay there.
What are the dangers of taking Ozempic?
Ozempic® may cause serious side effects, including:
- inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis). ...
- changes in vision. ...
- low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). ...
- kidney problems (kidney failure). ...
- serious allergic reactions. ...
- gallbladder problems.
That's scary. Probably a good reminder for dad (and even me, given family history) to take more care of his diet. He's on metformin for now with something I don't know SOS. He's rather careless at times.
He has taken some sort of diet pills in the past - one of our doctors (claims to be our family friend

) wanted to prescribe those for me too. I refuse to engage with that quack at all.
As if there isn't enough trouble already. People abusing those resources for 'aesthetic' reasons, which are actually necessary for someone else's survival, and those someone elses usually end up not getting access to those resources. And OMG the ugliness that comes from trying to make themselves look like what Nature never intended

Smegs has crossed over into that realm especially with that video thing - though that looked quite like a deep fake.
I am still half asleep so going to make myself a big mug of Assam tea. Cloudy/rainy after a long spell of extreme heat so tea would be perfect. Wish I had coconut biscuits. Or even the ones with sugar on top.
@ChaoticArtist I couldn’t reply/quote your post
I would have been one of the first in the uk to have this at Sheffield childrens. Hospital. I didn’t as it seemed so painful and so much could go wrong. Life long bone infections if the bones didn’t knit back together properly, one leg shorter than the other, the pain when adjusting the metal every day - it’s like having a medieval torture rack inside your legs forcing the bones apart. Be short and happy!
I'd typed a long ramble but will keep it short-ish like Sparry
Yes, lots of complications come packaged with such surgeries. Which is why I don't support these unless they are performed for a corrective function - which could include cosmetic surgery which helps with the patient's mental health. The thing is, we know the risks, but sometimes the (perceived) benefits outweigh the potential risks - even the long-term ones.
It sounds like a simple decision - pain bad, pain-free good. But it's up to the individual to decide whether the mental/emotional pain that they feel pre-surgery would be greater or smaller than the potential physical and mental/emotional pain they might feel post-surgery. For some, it's not even a choice (professions/cultures giving preference to certain physical attributes).
In Sparry's case, it seems like his difference in height with William has added to his sense of victimhood. "William got more/better of everything. Even our parents/Nature gave him more height". Add to that William maintaining himself better physically, consciously standing tall. Sparry, like his wife, is rather scruffy and frumpy, and makes himself even more so around his brother. And more than physically, he has created this image of himself being forever in his brother's shadow, which makes him feel even smaller.
In such a scenario, add Smegs with her apparent vision of turning themselves into William and Catherine 2.0. Encouraging him to buy what Nature didn't grant to them.

% she gets buy one get one free deals at the surgeon's.
@susan1375, I'm glad that you're happy with your decision not to go for that surgery. Sometimes I wonder if I should have taken the offer to get my 'smile fixed' (upper lip needs to be not as short apparently, and the corners should not droop down - though that's because of not a very happy life), so to be at the stage where you are so clear about your decision is really nice

I know what you mean
@Duee about our lovely Cinny's posts, but you see, after a while you learn to decode how tits write. Italics denote someone else's work that our favourite tit has kindly transcribed. Then there's a gap, sometimes with a short line, followed by Cinny's view.
Other posts, believe it or not, are simply her own jovial thoughts. These can often be a few paragraphs long, and that's when we ourselves can feel like right big tits when we realise it's fiction.
![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f602.png)
But, don't be fooled because there's many a great thought or explanation that is posted that deserves a good read.
Ain't that right
@Cinnamon.girl
I have not caught up yet/had forgotten the discussion about whether
@Cinnamon.girl is a tit or not. Then I read your post quickly while scrolling and thought that you all have very talented tits while mine only hurt when I'm trying to sleep on my tummy. At the most they are a nice cushion for the Pup. All those years of schooling, not wasted then
I really should go and have two mugs of tea
