My BFF was on Ozempic for over a year and she had to have emergency surgery due to acute pancreatitis that cause an inflamed gall bladder. It was terrifying. She thought she was dying. She had been having what she thought was extreme acid reflux for months before it got so bad she went to the hospital. Now she doesn’t know whether she can or should continue with the meds. They had been really helping her lose the weight she’d been struggling to lose for decades and now she’s scared she’s going to lose all that progress she’s made. But she also never wants to experience pain like that again. And then on top of it she found out people with Diabetes weren’t able to get the meds and she feels awful that she may have contributed to the shortage
Wow!!! My insurance covers it and I paid $30 for three months worth (12 shots) I hope to receive results like yours! Are you following a Mediterranean diet?
still a fatty with a fatty mentality you cut corners are you are mentally weak your weight loss is sign of your faulty thinking it is the reason you are fat looking in the mirror right before you get your side effects you will always know that this 6 pac i have is real I worked for it noting like it. I DESERVE to look this good being a fraud is no way to live take your ass to the gym wtf?
My out of control blood sugars have dropped to below 130 every single day on Ozempic. I eat a low carb Keto diet snd exercise daily so this is working for me. Weight is dropping and I do not plan to go off Ozempic ever.
It is mostly about doctors being willing to prescribe it to people it was not meant for. Doctors prescribing Ozempic to people who are not diabetic and Wegovy to people who are just overweight and not obese. Neither drug is recommended for people who have no complications from their weight and face no serious health risks. It was never meant for people who just wants to lose a few pounds.
If that thing helps with cravings and addictions this is so worth it. If it indirectly affects dopamine one might think about using it for mental health stuff as well.

The more benefits it provides will make the price continue to go up making it harder for those who truly need it to regulate blood sugar to be able to actually afford it. These pharmaceutical companies should not be able to put such prices on any of these drugs that are truly beneficial to people that are in need of them. It is absolutely pathetic that there are individuals out here who truly need certain drugs to help them to function daily that they have to make the choice of either buying food and other necessitaties for their families or paying that high price for the life saving drugs needed to keep them going. Even with insurance some still cant afford to fill all of their perspirations and has to pick and choose which ones they can afford to purchase regularly. If you are prescribed a medication for long term and you cant afford to keep that prescription filled then it is almost pointless to even start it in the first place. Many drugs have to be taken over a period of time for them to actually be affective.
I'm so tired of hearing this phrase: You have to take it the rest of your life if you want lifelong effects. Tell me another drug that lasts even after you stop taking it? So many people are rooting for these drugs to fail and it's simple jealousy. It's ridiculous.
I am struggling to understand its purpose. I mean, if you eat less than you burn you will lose weight (caloric decificit), if you eat as much as you burn you will mantain weight (caloric balance) and if you eat more than you burn you will gain weight (caloric surplus). It's that simple. I can't understand why someone has to use drugs when it's really that simple.
@@sarwasadharan yeah I agree with you. Everyone talks about the reduction of appetite, but that's not the reason why they lose weight. It's Just a consequence... If your appetite Is reduced then you Will eat less, and so you Will be in a caloric deficit. That's why you lose weight!
Fat people deserve to feel bad im sorry but sugar coating it will go to there stomach not there head they would rather fork out for cheats that don’t show great results then go gym or Somerts which will not only improve health and weight but also there mental and confidence instead of getting the confidence handed to them by people that say we are all the same
This drug suppresses your appetite. So basically you will eat less calories without the feeling of dieting or missing something. So basically artificial self control.
21 here with gen X parents. some people are saying “lmao why dont you just exercise to lose weight”. When youre middle aged, it’s not that easy anymore. especially if it wasnt something consistent in your life before. My mom (51) is struggling. She used to work nightshift at a hospital for years, and she was a beast bc of how active she had to be. miles and miles of walking in that hospital, but eventually she quit her job to be there for my senior year of high school and my brother’s first year of high school. we didnt see her much when she worked. so, yeah, my mom was less active because she needed to be there for us. and with her age (as well as 12 years walking miles and miles all night) also came with really shitty joints that keep her from doing some stuff. like exercise. and my mom is a strong, willful woman. she doesnt have the issue of over-eating, but shes extremely prone to weight gain, and at risk of being diabetic. she has to restrict herself SO MUCH as it is, while still fighting weight gain as she grows older. this drug is for people like my mom, who has the will to do these things but physically cant.
@@jeancariker911Not if taken properly. Some doctors are not as ethical as they should be though, and are overprescribing it. If doctors follow the guidelines, there won't be a danger to using it.
jesus.. I'll take my $35 gym membership. its not worth it unless you EARN it. also, I don't get these celebrities doing it. elon musk can easily afford a fulltime nutritionist to prepare his meals and a personal trainer to setup his workouts for him.
So far, only positive stories from me. Lost 40 pounds over the course of 2023 from 250 to 210. If I can repeat those results and get to 175-180 by 2025... I'll take all the risks
Too expensive and risk-laden. Instead, people should try the Amazon jungle survival diet. 40 days trekking thru the jungle, surviving on cassava flour and the occasionally found fruit, will leave them looking Hollywood gaunt chic.
It all comes down to self control!!! In the process of reducing body fat or dieting, nutrition is a much more difficult part of the process than fitness. And if you need assistance, it is better to use natural products.
Not everything is self-control. I have been thin my entire life. 5'7 102 lb without dieting. Three children nothing I did caused me to gain weight. I developed rheumatoid arthritis which restricts my movements. Lots of pain. On top of that, I went through the change of life and that was the real killer. I struggle with weight now not to the point where I'm technically obese. But, I have never weighed what I do now when I was 9 months pregnant. I eat very well . I restrict myself and still the weight does not come off. So you see, not everyone that needs to lose weight is because they just can't put down the spoon and fork. But I'm not taking this med. Just dealing with life as it comes, and we'll see what this does to other people. I don't want to be the guinea pig.

Rapid weight loss can cause gallbladder problems so it's probably not the drug but rather a combination of predisposition and rapid weight loss.
If your friend had pancreatitis, she should know to never take it again.
@@ajd8558not true. The drug causes many GI problems including gallbladder problems - stones.
"Now she doesn’t know whether she can or should continue ..." She thought she was going to die and she is still weighing the pros and cons??
Should've used clenbuterol instead
I pay just about $1000 a month for 4 shots a month.. I’ve taken it for just about 3 months. I’ve lost 50 pounds. I was 280-290 now I’m 235.

@@baddie1shoe I’m 220 now. No diet really, just smaller portions and because I lost weight I can walk around more and be more active

@@RyeAlvaro That's awesome, congrats. It sucks wanting to be active but you're burdened by your own body.
Try salad. It's much cheaper.
When does the liver damage start
You ask too many questions, be careful 😐
Fast obviously 😅
Yep ! My mom took it for 5 months and lost +/- 45 pounds
Nothing beats a healthy lifestyle tho 😊
What a great presenter

Until you get cancer good luck
You are either on a low carb diet or a keto diet (net carbs
Ugh, those celebrities who really need it the least and causing shortages disgust me so much!

That's what amphetamine does
I hope it does it's job in reducing obesity.

There's always a cost. I'll just stick with a disciplined healthy eating and active lifestyle thanks.
Much cheaper and even much less risky.
Yes, but explain this to people who are not willing to self reflect on their lifestyle choices.

Come to Russia. We have no shortage of injectable semaglutide. A few brands even. No monopoly. Oh btw it’s around $30 a month without insurance
My partner actually needs this medication due to a bunch of health reasons and over 14 diagnosies...and we can't afford it. 😢

It's not needed for life, as she states, If the patient changes their lifestyle for life.

Is unit decrease and using long periods
The whole video is just a glorified ad. Shameless
I don't agree; she is quite balanced in her presentation if you watch the entire thing. She actually cautions against it quite strongly.

Total BS. I'm 59 on no medication, exercise daily and watch what I eat. Everyone wants an easy way out. Middle age has nothing to do with it.
Excuses
Escobar and El Chapo's only crime was not been a drug dealer today
Thanks
you’re welcome
Im obese. This is so good.

Obesity is NOT a disease
You're the problem of this society. YOU CAN'T SAY THAT
@@diegobarreca9970being obese is a choice. Nobody forces you to eat food. We all have choices to make. Don’t make excuses

Forgot to mention ozempic causing stomach paralysis 😬
Since when watching porn is a side affect 😮
So pretty much keep control of your cravings and you’ll be OK

you laugh but huel black is mostly casava flour and pea protein. you can live on it

It all comes down to self control!!!

Ideally... But not everyone has self-control. This drug helps people control their unhealthy habits like Nicorette for a smoker.
