You need to lose weight, your doctor offers you medication to cause weight loss but side effect is that you will gain 6 inches in height..

Would you think that condition is acceptable?
This medication has proven reliable and also prevents excessive weight gain from ever happening again.

    Actually I don't really know but seems to me i heard someone say that God stops people from growing any more after they have achieved perfection. So maybe...

    The medication is primarily intended for weight loss but I guess it will work to make you taller weather or not you have weight to lose.
    I wish I knew where to get it.

    I am 5'2" so no problem.  

    They do prescribe HGH but it does not help that much with height. But supposedly increases metabolism for weight lose.

    Okay that's interesting but maybe I should have put this question in the 'outside the Mug' category because I don't really think there is any such kind of medication as described.

    Once again, Dr. my2cents prescribes a controversial medication.  

    "Using HGH for weight loss, muscle building, or anti-aging is experimental and controversial. HGH injections are believed to decrease fat storage and increase muscle growth to some extent, but studies have not shown this to be a safe or effective weight loss remedy.

    I did not prescribe it.  I simply stated it is already being used which you confirmed.

    I wouldn't take it because my pants would look goofy and everybody would be asking me if I was expecting a flood. Cheers!

    I'm convinced there's a conspiracy to put all items as far back on the shelves as possible so those of us who aren't 5'10" can't reach them.

    Yep.  Even at Target or the grocery it's crazy how high they put the things that are very commonly purchased.  I think they want you to notice the other stuff.  I always buy frozen chopped broccoli in the box, and a lot of it.  It's on the top shelf in the back of the freezer.  I used to climb up there to get them but I started finding an employee to get them.  I found the same young man three times in a row.  The next time I wanted to buy some, low and behold, they were on a lower shelf.  I was doing it wrong.  I'll never climb in Publix's freezer again.  :)

    I don't climb - I get a tall gentleman or a store employee if one's around.  You'd think that as the store employees walk around, they would notice that the fronts of the shelves are empty an move the items forward.

    Heck, if I grew 6 inches, my weight would be in acceptable range according to BMI.  LOL
