I am a living testament to the effectiveness of weight loss injection therapies, specifically Wegovy and Mounjaro. I am a food addict, and these injections provided me with a sense of liberation from the constant grip of food thoughts. Implementing them into my routine made an enormous difference- they enabled me to lose over 30 kilos (more than 5 stones) within a year.

But beyond just physical weight loss, they gave me a psychological breath of fresh air. I found them as amelioration for my anxiety and mental health; they brought a bright ray of happiness into my recovering life.

And I am not alone. Scores of patients experiencing obesity, especially those with a BMI over 30 coupled with additional long-term conditions, are recommended these treatments according to NICE guidelines. Yet, they remain out of reach due to non-availability on NHS.

It is time to align practice with guidelines, and ensure these life-altering treatments are not just recommended, but readily available to those direly in need. Making Wegovy and Mounjaro weight loss injections available on NHS is not just a clinical recommendation, but a vital necessity to help patients regain their health, life, and happiness.

For me, and countless others in a similar predicament, let's make a change. Sign this petition urging for the inclusion of Wegovy and Mounjaro weight loss injections in the NHS facilities for patients grappling with significant weight issues. Let's take a step towards healthier lives, together.
