What they're not telling you is that you're losing muscle weight, not fat weight.

@jeancariker911 11 месяцев назад

Gastroparesis is a severe condition. This doctor seems to be downplaying the risk of the drug. Saying it can cause nausea & vomiting is not really being upfront about the real risks! They aren’t even mentioning the risk of severe gallbladder attacks and removal of the gallbladder. One report said the woman suing was taking it rather than insulin for her type two diabetes and she’d been on it for over a year. Another tidbit learned from trials is that the gastroparesis had not been reversible in the trials. Diabetics have been furious because people wanting to lose weight were causing shortages. Maybe they should be thankful they couldn’t get the drug!

I just started on Ozempic, My doctor warned me about the how I would feel full... instead of having a big meal. I have smaller meals and a few snacks like eating a few nuts.. I have not had any problems.... FIrst time it hit me I knew and was shocked how I could not eat another bite of my breakfast.. but after that I am fine.. I have lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks

It’s still wrong, and we’ll get to the point where medications and procedures that are working fine for those who it was purposed for, will either have to jump through hoops to get what they need, or these medications will be removed from the market because of their misuse and the lawsuits against them.

You don’t have to be fat to have diabetes. Which is actually what this medicine is for. Weight loss is just a side effect. If you don’t have diabetes you probably shouldn’t be saying anything about what you don’t know.

I am on Rybelsus, the pill form of the self injection Ozempic for my diabetes. I've been on it for 3 years. It didn't cause me quick weight loss, it only claims an average of 8 lbs. It does cause you to feel full longer. The main thing is it does help me keep my blood sugar under control.

@VernCrisler 11 месяцев назад

@@barbaram5787 I've been interested to hear from people on Rybelsus how much it lowered their A1c. If it gets A1c into the normal range, it may be a fall back for those who don't tolerate the injections well. I wonder if you can skip days and still have the same effect on A1c.

Gastroparesis is why I gave up on Semaglutide. That feeling of not being able to empty your stomach/bowels till 4-5 days had passed was uncomfortable. Not sure if the problem stuck around since it's been well over a year since I was on it, but I do feel like it takes days to empty my gut after eating so much food, and it will only empty when my gut feels completely fool after 4 or 5 days.

@barbaram5787 11 месяцев назад

I am on Rybelsus for my diabetes. It is a pill form of the Ozempic self injection. I can verify that it does make you feel full longer. There are times when I can't eat 3 meals a day even when I am hungry and I've been on it 3 years. It does keep my blood sugar under control.

Never use this drug. It placed me in hospital two times, and I have permanent injury to my digestive tract. I am a diabetic. Stopped using the medication 6 months back. The slower your digestion works, the slower good nutrients are absorb into your body, until you feel really bad, also the longer you are bound up the higher the risk in colon cancer. Kinda like a slow death. Don’t use my advice, it’s your body and your decision. This is only my experience with this drug. If you’re taking it for weight loss, it’s around 1,100 a month and that buys a great treadmill, or a supreme gym at your local y.m.c.a. That way you loose weight and you loose it in a way your not skinny, but flabby . Use caution because there’s only one you!!😊
