I haven’t had it but I have heard that it makes you lose muscle and connective tissue as well as fat. People are getting Ozempic face because they are losing their fat pads. Sounds like you might need a facelift after using it and I’m not keep for that. Also premature ageing and stomach issues.

I have a friend who has just started her Ozempic journey.
You might want to watch SBS on demand. “Insight” has a whole episode on Ozempic. I told my friend about it and she found it interesting and informative. One of the Ladies said she put weight back on once she came off it.

I am on it – I lost 6kg in the first 4 weeks but then it slowed down. I have been on it now for 4 months and have lost 12 kg. It is not cheap – $140 a month!

I’d check with the gp in case there are side effects

My husband was proscribed it after putting on 30kg from a back injury. Look it helped the first 3 months lost 15 kg but after the 3 month his body got use to it and he was able to eat threw it basically has no effect any more.

He suffered from nausea, head fogginess, diareah and tiredness.

But also at the same time he started taking ozempic he started working out at the gym 3 times a week wich helped him lose that 15kg.

He’s not 25kg and is just eating fruit, veggies, eggs and meat . And black coffee

I haven’t tried it but have been looking into i recently. I’m trying to find an alternative to help shift some of the weight to avoid potential weight loss surgery. Whilst I know ozempic is aimed more towards diabetics; I’ve had some doctors suggest this as a possible alternative to surgery?

Glad you posted this as I was curious

I am on it as I am diabetic. Have not lost any weight at all. Been using it for at least a year. Suppresses my appetite but that’s all I’ve noticed.

I have heard people put the weight back on as soon as they stop it. Do you want to be on medication for the rest of your life (not sure if you can be on it for this long)

I personally havnt tried it, but a friend was on it for awhile. She loved. It.

I haven’t tried it because of the side effects but i have heard it has great results.

I’ve heard that they have major stock issues at the moment and that it is currently prescribed for diabetics.
I definitely recommend speaking to your doctor about it.

I did try this with my Endocrinologist for my unstable thyroid management where I gain a lot of weight from it.So, she put me on Ozempic management and this help my weight loss then now I am managing my weight without Ozempic for more than 2 yrs. Best advise is always see treating physician for further advice in-regards to this type of drugs. Under their guidance and their program has great benefits and future management.

I was reading today somewhere that people are dying from the side effects.I’m using Optislim meal replacement bars and they seem to be working well.

Please speak with your doctor. This drug is by no means an “easy way” to lose weight, just google how many individuals put back on the weight once they stop the drug. Also, it is in short supply for those it was designed for, diabetics. If you can honestly say you have tried all other avenues before reaching out about Ozempic… it might be worth a chat.

It needs to be prescribed by a doctor for the correct people ( currently those with diabetes), in certain circumstances, and regularly monitored.

I talked to my dr but her view was that it wasn’t the best option based on the potential side effects and the fact that there are much more natural options to pursue (healthy eating, exercise)

I’ve never tried it but I do have a friend who just asked the doctor to try it and he said it’s pretty much impossible to get atm.

I wanted to try it for weight loss, but hearing all the negative things about Ozempic. I am not willing now to try it.

Don’t – anything that actually works like that is too dangerous. Starving yourself would be healthier.
