Good point!

Ozempic (semaglutide) can cause side effects ranging from mild digestive symptoms to more serious complications. The most common Ozempic side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain.

Side effects are often more noticeable when starting treatment or after increasing the dose. Many mild side effects improve over time as your body adjusts to treatment.

Serious side effects are less common but may include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems related to dehydration, severe stomach problems, allergic reactions, low blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, vision changes, and a possible risk of thyroid tumors.

Healthy weight loss, when necessary, is a wonderful idea . Using pharmacology to force it without adjusting underlying diet issues is a dangerous gamble. But hey. The selfies will be ...worth it(?)

Thank you for posting that as it is important information. This Ozempic needs to be approached very cautiously from what I read and the benefits weighed in against the risks.

I don’t know who the lady is in the photograph, but the weight loss was quite substantial. She looks like a different person and her mother would probably pass right by her on the street. She does look great.

We actually know a couple who both took Ozempic whohave had an amazing weight loss together. I believe they have lost close to 200 pounds between them.

It does offer some amazing results. I'm wondering what the long term effects are. Too many never learn moderation. "How much better will I look with even more weight off?"

Definitely… and those long-term effects need to be paramount as there are a lot of ‘unknowns’.

No question that being around with a few more pounds than what you want far surpasses the alternative….
