Exactly. These meds and surgeries are great but need to be reserved for ppl who have lots of weight to lose, who have made the dietary changes. Benefits are supposed to outweigh the risks with any medical treatment. This isn’t for ppl wanting to lose 30 pounds.

Where were all these “warnings” when Ozempic was just out for diabetes only? You didn’t hear anything bad until it was also used for weight loss. It’s the same medication. Same delivery of it. Same everything.

[@victorialamport-brown8699]

Exactly and long term affects of the meds is scary ! And big pharma is making trillions so the manufacturers aren’t going to pull the meds even if ppl die because there’s warnings and it kind of reminds of when metabolite weight loss pills came out yrs ago I did take em lost alor of weight yet serious side affects n perhaps other things were reported from metabolite usage so the pills were discontinued yet Ozembic is a huge huge cash cow so I’d think the Ozembic won’t be pulled anytime soon for weight losss n it’s not new as used for diabetic patients so ppl just really need to use common sense my feelings are that I’d never use it no way !

[@shancald1]

I was on Ozempic for 4 months. The worst nausea, diarrhea, and cramping from my pancreas I’ve ever experienced. I was constantly calling in sic at work, was too sick to eat or do anything really. I got off of Ozempic and felt so much better. I gained some weight back but I don’t care! I feel much better off of it!

[@bostonlatina]

Sounds awful. Are these side effects supposed to eventually go away?

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

Ozempic and Rybellsus are simply diabetes medications given to people who don't have diabetes, because of their side effects, which are the desired outcome for weight loss; ie. Diarrhea. People should not be on them. They are not safe.

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

​@@Cynthia-f4ydon't do it. Ozempic isn't a medication to cure the "illness" of being overweight. It is a diabetes medication that causes diarrhea, so it has been marketted as a weight loss drug, due to the fact that us causes diarrhea. Diet and exercise are the best, most effective way to safely lose weight. Don't be fooled by marketing. Ozempic is a repurposed drug that they woyld give you in order to force your body to have diarrhea. You can do better than that for yourself. I believe in you!

[@betweenthepoles]

I have taken Ozempic for diabetes for two years. I have had no side effects until I went to a double dose so I went back down. I have lost a lot of weight but the most important thing is that my A1-c has gone from the diabetic range to normal range and it has stayed there. Because of Ozempic, I don’t have to worry about the foot ulcers that resulted in my aunt losing both her lower legs, or macular degeneration that made her go blind. I took Metformin for years and it did nothing. Ozempic may have literally saved my life. It really upsets me that these already thin people are using a medication to lose a few pounds and in the process, making it harder for diabetic patients to get.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Thank you for sharing your story. Ozempic and Mounjaro are game changers for type 2 diabetics and PCOS patients with insulin resistance (which is what causes weight gain). That said, they’re still drugs, and they need to be treated as such. I think the problem is that people are taking these drugs irresponsibly (too high of a dose, drinking alcohol when you’re not supposed to, mixing medication), and the health practitioners (not all, just the greedy ones) aren’t paying attention.

I had gastric bypass surgery and a few years later went on Ozempic for diabetes. After almost 4 months, I'm pretty sure I was on the brink of pancreatitis, so I stopped taking it. My sister takes a very low dose of it with no serious issues and excellent results for both her diabetes and weight loss. Please tell your friend to pay attention to her symptoms.

I wasn’t ever on Ozempic, but I had several adhesions form from a hysterectomy. The pain went beyond anything I could ever describe! Nothing showed on any type of x-ray or sonogram. They finally , reluctantly did exploratory surgery. When I was awakened, the surgeon apologized and said he could definitely see why I was in so much pain. He also said that had this been a few hours later, the outcome would have been completely different. My one remaing ovary was completely necrotic along with several portions of my intestines. It still angers me that nobody believed anything was wrong, because they couldn’t see it on on any kind of test.! I’ll never forget screaming to the point I had literally no voice left and nobody seemed to care….It’s not like I was ever any kind of drug seeker. Just complete incompetence.

I sleep better, have more energy and less anxiety about the health risks of being obese. I have had no side effects.

And then the laundry list of complications that people were going to have from it. Not the least of which is potential thyroid cancer. It absolutely makes sense that this could happen because, from someone on YT, who is on it, the food just sits in your stomach for days. That’s why you don’t feel hungry.

I had seven surgeries (not bariatric or for weight loss) over the years that caused scar tissue to form in my abdomen. I suffered occasional small intestine blockages many times from that scar tissue and was hospitalized. I was lucky that the condition resolved itself each time without more surgery. I haven’t had a blockage in 3 years. Here’s why: I have a neighbor, a Chiropractor, who I ran into one day and he asked how I was. When I told him about my recent hospitalization he suggested I try shockwave therapy to break up the scar tissue. I figured I had nothing to lose so I signed up for a series of treatments. It worked. I haven’t had a bowel obstruction in the 3 years since the treatments. Medical doctors need to think “outside” the box more often.

My brother was prescribed Ozempjc for his diabetes and for weight loss. He ended up in ICU for three weeks, his gall bladder was backed up, he became septic and he had to go on dialysis due to kidney shut down! Three months later he still has a tube draining his gall bladder and is now in a rehab care facility. Because of Ozempic😢

[@carolmerlini9971]

This is the exact case of my companion of 15 years but he died four days ago after surgery to remove his gall bladder. The surgeon said he didn't know why he didn't survive but anything can happen to a man age 75. He was on Ozempic for five years for diabetes. His diabetes was totally under control on Ozempic and his readings were perfect. But he's no longer with us.

Agreed. I've never taken Ozempic but I did lose 145 pounds over a few months because of an ischemic colitis I didn't know about until almost too late.

I remember sitting in on two autopsies for a masters program that I was completing at a hospital. Our class was so large that each day a different group would see a different type of autopsy. Some saw still births, some saw accidents with children etc. this gave me so much anxiety because fear welled up inside as the days grew closer for our observation day. I felt lucky on the day our group went though because our two cases appeared to have died of natural causes. There was one woman who had passed in her sleep. Easy peasey, she looked like a fake Hollywood dummy. I only say this because I assumed a dead person would look super gruesome and scary. She did not and everything went by the book. Second one, an inmate who passed in his cell after complaining of horrible stomach cramps for days. This one scarred me. When they got to his stomach the whole floor began to wreak. They pulled out his intestines and over half of it was completely black. They literally stretched it across the room to find where the necrosis/infection started. The pathologist was so angry because in the notes it stated that the prison Drs assumed the stomach cancer he had previously had come back so instead of properly checking him they started giving him chemo meds. The bowel obstruction caused a horrible infection which seeped into his blood stream and killed him. Sepsis. The pathologist yelled out “they killed that man.” . As students you can imagine we were scared as heck. We were ushered out not long after that but the smell I will never forget. It stuck to us all and we had to shower to get it off. Silly me I didn’t wash my hair. I very quickly regretted that because my hair stunk to high heavens. 1. I’ve read about intestines being so long but to see them in person will blow your mind. 2. To see anything black come out of someone’s body is so scary. 3. That smell will forever be etched in my psyche.

Ozempic caused gastroparesis in me. I went in thinking it wouldn't happen to me. My stomach was contracting so hard I was throwing up due to shear force. I've given birth to 3 kids and survived shattering my ankle to the point that the first option was amputation (they rebuilt it, but it will never be the same) and I'd still welcome those pains over what Ozempic did to me. I was in and out of the ER 3 times before they figured out what was wrong. It was hell! Don't risk it, please. I still can't eat 100% normally.

I’m 62 and vegan for 7 years. I recently started my raw vegan journey a few months ago. I take no medications and have perfect blood work. I weighed 120 pounds back in college in my 20s. I practiced vegetarianism because I disliked the cafeteria food. After moving back home to care for my elderly patients and my grandmother, I began to slip back into the Standard American Diet and gained weight. Since becoming vegan, I lost some weight. But now in my senior years, I am better able to control my weight and my blood pressure with a raw food diet of fruits and salads and juices. I’ve already lost 18 pounds and have 30 pounds more to reach my target weight of 120 again. I’m patient. Maybe lose a pound a week or a little less at my age. I would encourage people to be patient when it comes to weight loss. Also, as we age, we cannot get away with eating like we did when we were younger. Metabolism slows down. Blood thickens. Circulation slows down. All part of the natural process of aging. Don’t let food control you to the point that you are desperate and will try anything to lose weight. No one can control their weight and have healthy arteries long-term consuming animal products. Go plant-based and be patient. In time, you will be very happy you did. RIP beautiful Lisa-Marie. ❤️🙏🌹

OZEMPIC has changed my life for the better!

[@tenerifecats6652]

Any abdominal surgery can cause scar tissue; not just bypass surgery. Having had bypass, I developed adhesions nearly 30 years after the surgery. I can’t imagine someone would not know something is terribly wrong. The pain is the worst you can imagine and definitely blood pressure through the roof. Not even sure it’s the drug that caused it (I never took ozempic; but I am on a regimen for spinal issues from a ruptured disk). but definitely being able to have access to really strong pain killers to ignore the problem would be where my thoughts would go for someone who is trying to ignore that kind of pain. Even on my pain meds; the pain was incredible. A 30 minute laparoscopic surgery later; I was like brand new! I am so thankful to the amazingly ER I went to, because they knew immediately what was wrong, but of course I was put on ‘no food’ for nearly 7 days because of ‘insurance’ protocols in ruling out an obstruction first. But I had all the morphine I wanted and even that didn’t cut the pain or lower my BP, so of course, I had all the meds to prevent having a stroke too. So if you have had abdominal surgery and you or a friend start having these symptoms, GO TO A GOOD Dr!!! Now; not later!!!

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

If a person takes a lot of painkillers, it can result in them not feeling that there is something terribly wrong with their body.

Yes Dr Dubrow. Tell them. Ozempic has already done it's damage. I get up at 6 am and power walk/ jog in the safety and privacy of my grassy backyard for 30 mins then use free weights to tone up. Pandora blasting in the background. Done by 7:15. I prepare and store lots of healthy homemade soups and stews. This has enabled me to maintain an active, healthy medication free body. Everyone can do this; it begins with baby steps and the willpower.

[@crli4353]

Your post is well received, but I disagree with your notion of "baby steps" and "willpower". Unfortunately we live in a culture DOMINATED by marketing and psychological conditioning. People have become to accustomed to the idea that hard work is no longer necessary because we humans, in all our brilliance, have the ability to make a magical pill for EVERYTHING. This leaves a brainwashed people with two choices. Make better choices and work towards a goal, DAY AFTER DAY, month after month, or, take a pill and exert NO EFFORT to get the same result in a fraction of the time. Perhaps a pedantic difference in word choice, but willpower and baby steps cannot be made without first making the CHOICE. Choices are what our entire existence on this planet boil down to at the end of the day.

[@SuperSPatrick]

Not everyone is taking Ozempic to lose weight. Some people, like myself, take it because we are diabetic. No amount of baby steps and willpower is going to change that, so NO, not 'everyone' can do that.

[@beachgirl468]

.......and not everyone has the physical ability to power walk/ jog, due to many different physical limitations- including hip, knee, spinal injuries or limitations, pain, etc. They can't even begin to "baby step" it. Your suggestions and motivation are appreciated but many people just can't do what you're suggesting. You can't just simplify things, saying that everyone can do it - you're not appreciating the fact that some people just have permanent injuries, damages and physical handicaps that completely prohibit them from your advice. These are the ones who have to figure out other ways to lose weight- and it's then easy to fall for weight- loss gimmicks, which can be very dangerous, or resort to major bariatric surgeries to achieve weight loss, which, btw - has lead to much success for many people! Surgery ALWAYS comes with a risk/s though, so it should always be well researched, discussed at length were your doctor and much thought given to all aspects of the surgery, especially an ELECTIVE surgery, before you commit.
