Doctor’s Note
Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
At 17 stone, I want patients to know that the NHS/WHO has more tools available than at any point in recent memory. The GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, Wegovy and Mounjaro in particular, have transformed what is achievable for people who have struggled with weight long-term. Clinical trials show average weight loss of 15 to 22 percent of body weight with these medications, which at 17 stone would mean losing 16 to 24 kg. For someone who qualifies, which at this weight many will, a conversation with their GP about these options is genuinely worth having.
