You do have to factor in the (probable) cost of not using Ozempic, aka keeping the pounds on. It may be imprecise, but as an example, if a person was likely to die within 10 years at their current weight, any bad effects beyond the 10 year mark have to be heavily discounted.

I assume parent was talking about cosmetic and convenient weight loss not medically necessary weight loss.

I'm sure there are plenty of people taking it as a shortcut to dropping 10 or 20lb or whatever, but I imagine most people taking it are in the "I need to lose 70+ lb of fat" range.
