For many this is a way of life. Gain a couple of lbs pop a pill. I bet if someone did a poll on how many repeat users are on here I bet it would be almost 80%
I'm also sure that for the many that do have the health reasons and meet the criteria can get a bit upset because it's getting harder for family doctors to prescribe this.
As for the comment about "That you have to be so far gone before they will help you" There is a reason for this. BENEFITS OUTWEIGH RISKS. You don't have to have a secondary health issue just a BMI of >30 If you DO have a secondary health issue then they lower the BMI to 28.
As for the weight lost clinic not looking down on you and giving you what you want.....LOL they see dollar signs that's all. I also bet you don't walk out with a script they supply the meds to you.....Very easy to lose records for a patient that developed a problem when everything is done in house (I've seen it done. I have also seen doctors lose their licences for back door dealing)....The only icing on the cake would be if you said you had to pay cash and got your pills in a little white envelope. I also bet you've been on them before to lose weight. Think about it, how healthy is it to yo yo diet?

But aren't you taking diet pills now and didn't you say that you have taken them before?
It seems like you are ridiculing people for what they are doing while at the same time doing it yourself.
Yes, the girl who started this thread went about it the wrong way, but she acknowledged that. Her goal is to lose weight just like the rest of us. She and many others made appointments specifically to obtain diet pills. She was only trying to find a way to get them cheaper and I can't blame her.
The times that you have been on diet pills, didn't you go the doctor for that first appointment with that in mind?
