Do you tell your Dr you're on peps?

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment for stomach problems.

I brought up the reta with her. Her response was to ask whether that was something fairly new that you can't get in Belgium. I confirmed and explained it came from a grey-market source. The reason is that Belgian prices are insane, and she got that.

Her reply was, "Oh, okay. Just be careful with your gallbladder because those symptoms could point to gallstones. GLP-1s are known to affect the gallbladder."

After that she wanted to know what my eating habits had been like since I started reta, how much weight I'd dropped, and if my water intake was sufficient. Not a single bit of judgment.
