Putting on too much weight for my bad back and thought I would give the weight loss drug a try.

Have to loose 10kgs.

Is there a program or shop in Pattaya that sells Ozempic?

Will be in Pattaya for about 1 month.

Thanks

You should check with a doctor first to see if it's really the right answer for you, and also to make sure that it's safe for you to take it. It can cause very unpleasant side-effects in some people. It's also not cheap. Maybe try a doctor in one of the international hospitals, and then they can tell you where to get it. I've seen it offered here in both injectable form (once a week) and as tablets (once a day), but as an expensive drug in a scam paradise like SE Asia there will be many useless and potentially dangerous copies around and it would be much safer getting it from a hospital. If you really want to take a chance, then have a look here:

OTOH, if you can wait until 2026, it comes off patent in India and they'll no doubt soon flood the market with cheap generics.

Freaking exercise and diet. Always the easy way.....

There is this thing called eating less

 

Stop stuffing fattening food in your pie hole

Don't eat fat food except brown rice. Mainly salmon and kale and rice.

Try to do 5-6km a day walk, but bad back sometimes limits this.

Been on prostrate medicine for about a month and makes me hungry all the time.

Sounds about the same as myself back and all. But I find a way to eat less and keep walking. 

It's my glands! 

Those meds are very expensive and if you quit it all comes back.

Lifestyle adjustment before medication.   

Correct the cause instead of trying to treat the symptoms.

Stopped eating candy/sugar helped me lose weight. 

Try swimming as well as the walking. Swim every day and slowly increase swim time.

I've read that is about 10,000 baht for 4.0ml (1.0ml injected weekly)...  and it surpresses the apatite and also apparently reduces vesceral fat....  so it can have benefits for some.

 

As you pointed out, I've also read that when you stop using the medication the weight comes back on becasue the appetite returns.

 

 

But, I beleive there is a habitual facet to the drug:

 

As it also surpressed the apetite it can help people in changing their eating habits. Its easy enough for people to make flippant remarks such as exercise more or eat less, but thats difficult for some.

 

The reason I researched this drug is due to injury - after being extremely ative for all of my life, the impact of competetive sports has paid its price and I've spent the last 15months recovering from injuries and surgeries...  

 

 

The combination of age (into late 40's), slowing metabolism, combined with being far less active has meant that weight gain was very easy...    and I think its diffucult to manage keeping the weight off without being extremely strict... 

... Hardly eating is not much fun when you are used to eating whatever you want when you want- but thats what it takes. 

 

 

- The swimming suggestion is also a good suggestion (from an exercise point of view) but when you are used to playing football 3x per week, swimming is boring - but thats what it takes combined with eating less, then thats what it takes... but again, I understand how difficult that is for some when they've not had to control their diet and their habitual process is diffierent. 

 

Thus: From a habit forming point of view - I saw potential in this drug and can see the attractiveness for some, just so long as they understand that its no miracle cure for being fat...
