Woman Lied to Doctors for Weight Loss Jabs
30 Oct
Summary
- Danielle Mason faked obesity to obtain prescription weight loss injections.
- She gained over a stone and posed unflatteringly to fool online doctors.
- Experiencing severe side effects, she learned jabs are not a quick fix.
Danielle Mason, a participant in 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding', has revealed her method of deceiving online doctors to obtain prescription weight loss injections.
Mason, 43, deliberately exaggerated her weight by over a stone and adopted unflattering poses in photographs to appear obese. This tactic was used to qualify for weight loss jabs, such as Mounjaro, which she had previously used successfully.
Her first course of Mounjaro, from late May 2024 to September, resulted in a significant weight loss to 11 stone. However, upon discontinuing the medication, she regained the lost weight by November.
During her second attempt in November 2025, Mason experienced severe adverse reactions, including constant sickness, diarrhea, and debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. Her NHS doctor eventually prescribed beta-blockers to manage these symptoms, and she has since stopped the injections.
Dr. Rachel Ward, an NHS GP, clarified that Mounjaro is licensed for individuals with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 with comorbidities. Using it without these conditions can lead to severe health issues. She also noted the risks of patients not disclosing existing conditions or medications, potentially causing dangerous interactions.
Mason now advocates for sustainable weight loss through healthy eating and exercise, having recognized that weight loss injections are not a sustainable or safe solution.
