Legally speaking, hiding medical substance use from doctors puts someone at real risk if complications happen. I can't stomach the idea of getting someone into a risky situation then staying silent about it. The law issue worries me less than the human cost. Thing is, at 77 with that history...

Not a doctor but if me, titrate down while watching weight and appetite close. Find lower dose for maintenance, just use GLP for hunger control not further loss.
