> "The middle range of weight loss for people in this new study was 49 pounds -- 49 pounds is a lot," he said. "It's the range of weight loss that we typically think only possible through surgery." Really? I've lost more than that and even after putting back on a bunch during the pandemic am still down 120+ lbs. It was hard, don't get me wrong, but I was never led to believe that only surgery could take that kind of weight off. It isn't even like this is a percentage thing, since the article talks about 15-21%, while I'm still down 37% (50% at my lowest). That said, I would be sorely tempted to commit murder if it would get me access to a drug that can help me lose weight to the degree being talked about here.
