If anything I'm for your body you do you, but Ozempic being abused for weight loss instead of mainly diabetes is really tragic. Sure there is mounjaro and a small list of others but ozempic was the leading medication that helped millions of patients.
Now those patients are struggling to get ozempic because it's becoming more available for weight loss than helping blood sugar levels.
Hot take I know but rather this pill be used for people who need it.

Yeah. Plus it's coming out that a decent size of people who are taking this are experiencing permanent side effects.
But that's not about fat exceptance.

Curious as to what side effects you’re saying, of listed on webmd all seem standard and pretty expected of a medication. Anything different you’ve heard in particular? My S/O is trying to be approved. I’m not really for it, but that’s not my decision.
In fairness to you, WebMD provides a comprehensive, but not complete list. This is also something that's still developing, so that might be why it's not on there.
There's new evidence that shows some people (not everyone) will experience digestive paralysis due to Ozempic. There's currently a class action lawsuit about it.
lawsuitlegalnews.com/ozempic-lawsuit/stomach-paralysisIt's a rare side effect, but if you end up with it, it may persist even after stopping the medication.
The bulk of Ozempic users won't experience this. But it's a reminder that if you are wanting to slim down and are not severely diabetic, it's worth it to explore other options first.
