Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
All week we've been talking about as Mpic and weight loss, drugs, jabs,
everything you're doing to lose weight. And this all started
from an email that we got from a beautiful listener, Kelly,
who's just ticked over forty.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
She's tried everything to lose weight. I've got a lot of.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Friends are in the same position. It's hard when you
get to that point and you've tried everything. She wants
to try as m big, but she's also really nervous
because you hear the good stories and the really terrible stories.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
So we've been discussing it all week. We've given our opinions.
You're giving your opinions and your stories, Adelaide. That's really
helping Kelly out. We heard yesterday all the positives. Yeah,
people that had lost weight.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
They were amazing. We had some life changing stories.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
I've had two different kinds of surgery and it wasn't
until I got onto the medication.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Did my life really change.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Right.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Weight loss isn't just about taking medication or diet or exercise,
and it's a combination of everything.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
And I've done everything.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
The medication was.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
The last bastion.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, I like that As an idea.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
She was great because I'm okay with it if you're
using it as a sort of supplementary thing, as long
as you're getting the healthy habits elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
If this is the first time you're listening to this,
I just want to really quickly Max. Can you just
say your risk theory, because I actually think that's so
spot on.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yes, okay, so risk reward. It's the same with everything
in medicine. Really, if you are someone who is one
hundred and eighty kilos, you have very high risk of
heart disease, yes, high risk of diabetes. So for you
to go on the oz PIC, the risk of maybe
what will happen in the future that we don't know
because there aren't long term studies may outweigh the reward

(01:32):
of you not having heart disease and you're not getting
diabetes right now.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
And the opposite goes for if you're only like a
size twelve, maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
The risk is it worth it? Absolutely not go for
a run.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I love that theory, so Amy Schumer. Do remember she
came out she was on a ZMPi and she said
she was bed ridden and vomiting the whole time. Yes,
and nothing would stay in and that's why she was
losing weight.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
There are a lot of negative stories as well, and
that's all we're going to hear from today. We're going
to hear from you to say give us ring thirteen
one oh two three. There's an article that came out
just overnight from the Royal College of GPS. They've got
a weight loss expert that says people that use those
zenpic Maunjaro Wagovi, you need to be alert for shingles.
Oh really yeah, because the metabolic stress of losing weight

(02:12):
really quickly that some people experience when they use the
injectables can activate shingle.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
All right, there's a lot of side effects. Let's go
to Kirsty in Kidman Park. Tell us your negative story
about a zenpi What happened?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
So my mum has been on a zempiic for about
two years. Originally she's a Type two diabetics, so was
put on it to manage that, but also to lose
weight because she was obese. Great results of the weight
loss she lost forty kilos. Wow, fabulous, that's great. It
helped her with her movement and things like that. However,
she's recently been rush into emergency surgery. Was an insected gallbladder.

(02:50):
It was that infected that they were worried it was
going to rupture. And the doctor has correlated it to
the side effects of her taking this weight loss injection
because she's only had fallstones since you've been on th Zmpics.
She also has horrible gastontestino. She can't go to the
bathroom for days, and then for days we'll need to
go to the bathroom. Lawsy wing lesargic and also has shingles.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh see, this is where you go risk, like is
that worth it? That's not living, That's all I don't think.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
It is absolute horror story. A none has called through. Anne.
You were on Manjaro, one of the injectables. What happened?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
So, yeah, about.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Six months ago I went on Manjaro. It was a
bit scary, like injecting myself at the first time, but
actually did really well and then I felt really good.
By that night, though I was straight on the toilet
and then pretty much eight times a day for that
week vomiting toilet. I went to the doctor because it

(04:04):
was so bad, and she sent me for bloods and
stuff and then called me back in and said, what
are you doing today and I'm like nothing. She goes, well,
you're straight to the emergency because you've got pancrea titus,
like really badly. I think your levels meant to be
I don't know, under seventy and mine was like at
eight hundred.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
So yeah, this is from Monjaro from the Yeah, I
guess everyone is different. It's like when people had the
COVID stuff and people reacted very differently every time. So
I wonder if they need to do more testing on
you individually before they prescribe it. I mean it's just yeah, yeah, yeah,
So do you think now was it worth it?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
Well? You know, I lost nearly seven kilos that week,
so yacause exactly exactly. No, definitely, I've had two bouts
of p grew tighter since that, even though I had
stopped taking it that week. My niece also went on
a zempic and she's only early twenties and she got gallstones.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Good n Well, it's definitely a life change.

Speaker 2 (05:16):

to go to to lose weight, Like it's like it's
so hard for people.

I'm diabetic. I'm not overweight, but it made me extremely ill.
