- “It's simple. It's painless, and it was a miracle. In three weeks I lost 18 pounds, and by three months, I had lost 38 pounds..."
For several years Ozempic has been on the market to treat type 2 diabetes. It improves the way the body handles excesses of the hormone insulin. A side effect was that patients lost 15 percent of their body weight. So last year, in June of 2021, it was reformulated and approved for weight loss for patients, who are not diabetics, under the name Wegovy.
“This drug is not a stimulant. It simply makes you feel full. We know that it affects your brain. It mimics a hormone that affects the satiety centers in your brain,” explained Bariatric Surgeon Dr. Matthew French.
Dr. French of Surgical Specialists of Louisiana, says about 20 of the clinic's patients have used Wegovy.
“And they say they just don't get hungry. They don't want the food. They don’t have the craving. And that's a powerful tool for losing weight,” explained Dr. French.
“And I wasn't hungry, which was great. The best thing about this drug is it made alcohol taste horrible,” said Hare who noted she packed on part of her weight from the sugary calories in beer and wine.
But after six months, Ramsey is no longer on Wegovy. Her cost-saving coupon ran out. Most Louisiana insurance companies don't pay for weight-loss medication like hers. Despite the long-term cost savings when people maintain ideal weight, companies don't include it in their coverage. The other problem is the drug is in high demand and can be difficult to get.
I’ve been on Ozempic for three weeks and got on the scale for the first time today. I’m happy to say I lost 14 pounds.
Well done

I am an ozempic patient for my diabetes. The weight loss patients use of wegovy and ozempic have made Ozempic scarce for diabetics. It took me 3 months but I was able to get my insurance company to approve the Ozempic. The weight loss has been good but the lowering of my a1c will probably save my life.
Exactly!!!
they are both chronic diseases. Type 2 diabetic patients aren't more important than obesity patients. They are getting necessary medicine just like you
@@rachelwhite3286 people who are ten pounds overweight are taking it
Seems unfair that people who need it to potentially save their lives can't get this drug because of people using it to get in a dress they want to wear to the red carpet, like not going to name names, but then they get on tic toc, everyone wants it. Weight loss is good for health, but if you are already diabetic, you should have priority, and it should be made affordable, and easily approved.
@@mercedesmcvey1776 People who take it for weight loss have to be obese and have a co-morbidity which means the drug is saving their life as well. This drug treats type 2 diabetes which is also a weight related disease, not genetic.
If it helps people lose weight, I don't understand why certain pharmacies and doctors don't want to fill it!
Who cares?
If the person is nearly 300 pounds but isn't YET diabetic, why on earth would you not want to help BEFORE they are?! Really really frustrating
Because diabetics cannot get the drug. Currently every pharmacy in my town is out. At least the 3 week back order.
@@katiefountain2407 ur pharmacy has to order it it is in high demand many are abusing this medicine for years especially in certain life aspects like living the glamorous lifestyle of the rich and famous everyone is taking it with or without being diabetic it's booming for the past 2 years this medicine can cost up to $900 for just 5 or 6 injection so u get 6 needles with it sad but hey it works something what isn't a hoax and truly works yes that is why u need to make sure they be ordering it can take up to 2 weeks to get ur hand on it.
@@katiefountain2407 Simple. Don't be a diabetic.
@@Danlovestrivium LOL okay smart guy
@@katiefountain2407 Listen, tubby. We don't want people ending up like you so the best way for them to not have diabetes is to never get it to begin with. You made you oversized bed. Now sleep in it.
Can you imagine how the bariatric doctors are freaking out.
They don't care. The injections will not fix the person's problem unless they make an effect to learn to controll their urges.
My bariatric doctor suggested it 🤷🏾♀️
Mine suggested it and they are the ones that prescribe it so….
Mine too
Dumb dumb. They recommend and prescribe it. Bariatric doctors do more than just the surgery. The surgery is a last resort. Damn stupida**!
I am chronically ill, been on chemo and prednisone nonstop for 17 years. I'm on other meds for side effects of other drugs (take care of your health everyone). So, I'm on many drugs that make it so hard to lose weight. I gained over 150 pounds from being bed ridden, disease and meds. I have tried EVERY DIET, program, medications etc since I can remember...even a surgery, to lose weight. Yes, some worked a bit, but it never lasted. I felt like a loser, quitter and really hated myself. OZEMPIC, so far, has stopped me from feeling hungry, thinking about food, and it makes it that I only eat a real single serving. This is how normally thin people must feel? I never EVER felt like this before. I pray it becomes more affordable for all. I've lost 30lbs since september and I feel high from it all. I feel "normal" and if you have fought weight most of your life you'll understand what I'm feeling. The side effects are real. I get some stomach problems (constipation and diarrhea), and burp all the time LOL, and nausea IS REAL. It's worse than the chemo I take weekly. I asked my doctor for zofran and it really helps. I usually take 1 to 2 zofran a week. I Did have diabetes, but after taking ozempic for the past few months along with metformin now sugars are fine. I also stopped taking metformin since things are ok now, and that was the cause of so many gut problems. I'm SO RELIEVED to be off that. I don't know if ozempic is a miracle, but I can say, that after taking it about 2 months, food never crosses my mind. And even when physically hungry I don't feel the need to curb it. I'm eating, don't get me wrong, but maybe 1 full meal A DAY right now. instead of 3 full meals. A chicken breast, salad, a side dish usually is eaten within the day but as small meals. Does that make sense? It took at least 6 weeks to really kick in, so don't give up. If you make little money you can get it free Just go on the ozempic manufacturer's web page and look up patient assistance. You can also get it for $25 a month if you have private insurance or through an employer. I'm only telling people because I know what it's like to be sick and have so much going against you...this stuff has helped me physically, but mentally, too I don't hate myself as much. Many of you will understand what I mean.
Thank you for this well though out and truthful comment. Best wishes to you on your health journey
Thank you😢❤I hope you feel better
Good for the doctors for getting a compounding pharmacy to create the injectable!
I have mine compounded and it only costs me $270 per month. Not even close to the costs of the commercial version. Big Pharma is criminal.
I'm on it....17lbs in 5 weeks

What helped me lose weight was moving out of S. Louisiana and trying foods prepared in different ways. I love the food, I love seafood, french bread, etc but most of us from this area aren't raised cooking or eating in the healthiest way. Not to mention there are healthier ways of celebrating than getting drunk and eating a ton of food.
I wanna move far away from here too but I just can’t get away from my boudin 😂😂😂
Yeah apparently drinking does not help anybody to lose weight or feel better either in the long run.
I agree. Moved 18 years ago to Georgia and my diet has totally changed. I don't cook a ton of starches anymore I no longer eat white rice or beef and pork with the exception of bacon....lol. I never was the one to sit around drinking but I did indulge in it whenever I went to a party. Something I don't do anymore. Sometimes people have to change their environment and their mindset if they know they want to do better. I love the food I grew up on cuz it's my heritage and that's something that will always stick with me but I've learned how to do it in moderation. I could never give up my gumbo.
Amen. It's amazing what changing your diet can do. Injections and surgery seems extreme.
@@americanadreaming there are some people that changing their environment mindset and lifestyle doesn't help or doesn't help enough to change their life-threatening diseases or disorders quick enough to save them
Thank you for including Part 2 to this video. I also enjoyed hearing about the King Cake, definitely a Mardi Gras staple.
I’ve been on Saxenda since May 1,2022 and have lost between 25-30 lbs ( currently plateauing between 190-195) I never had the nausea or headaches that a friend of mine has or I’m reading here. I have noticed that sweets are not tasting as awful as they did in the beginning so now is where willpower is going to come in. I have not yet started working out ( I work 58 hrs every week on my feet) but am planning to start soon . This medicine has helped so much ! Currently I pay $25 a month for this.
do you have insurance?
Yes, how do I get wecovy
omg you are so lucky $25 here where i live it cost arount $120 per injection
So it basically has you starving yourself into losing weight???
@@1stladyma it suppresses ur appetite but u need to change up ur diet in some ways ur body changes but ur mind still has those eating habits this is why will power comes in effect u won't eat as much anymore sometimes u have to force urself to eat but it depends on what u eat so it's like having the bypass surgery without having the surgery part.
Where can we get the cost effective version from?
This medication should be available for all to prevent health cost.
Being overweight causes health problems.
I'm overweight and was diagnosed with sleep apnea.
I need this drug and hope I can get some.
I also tried everything to lose weight and nothing helped.
Make sure you are aware it causes cancer
Hello, what kind of insurance do you have? Most covers saxenda which is very similar. Call your insurance and ask oh and talk to your Dr
@@chiquistaash1324 I have fidelis Medicare and I pay $4 copayment for ozympic
Stop eating too much trashy food.
My insurance just approved me for this! I’m so excited
Great report
Wow, she looks amazing after her weight loss.
Thanks for sharing. I would love to see you do ultrasonic caviation to compare it with endosphere.
I just started! I feel so proud of myself! I ate out. Ate 1/2 of a chicken salad sandwich h on whole wheat bread and a small coleslaw. 16 pd in 11 days
How do you get it?
Which one did you take
Started Salexa yesterday. It feels great so far!
How much does it cost??
@@haileyreyes9052 it's a prescription. You go to your doctor and talk to them about it. Originally was a diabetes medicine and now they prescribe it for weight loss under the name wagovi. I am getting it under the name ozympic which is why it is covered by my insurance for $4 copay I am not diabetic
I was contemplating this medication until I started doing IF..16:4..I fast for 16 hours and eat within a four hour window..not only have I lost 15 pounds in two weeks but I noticed my cravings have all diminished..I plan to make this a lifestyle ..Intermittent fasting works just as much plus you don't need to get a shot or a booster ..
I almost passed out doing If not for everyone.
Yeah thats what I thought as well, unless he/she meant 20:4
@@hkitty007 You can start with a shorter one and build from there. There are different lengths of IF. Start from when you've had your last meal of the day, skip breakfast (just have coffee to stave off the hunger), if you must eat, then have a boiled egg, then lunch and dinner. You will soon learn to live on only 2 meals a day and you will be less hungry throughout the day. Your body needs time to be able to digest food. Eating all the time, is not helping it. Hence why people get sick. Look up Dr Eric Berg on RUclips. He'll give you amazing advice to start the weightloss journey, which doesn't include taking meds. It's not only a diet change, but a lifestyle change.
IF isn't effective for everyone--at least the more moderate protocols. I tried the 16:8 protocol daily and was very intentional about it for 8 months with very few results until I finally just gave up on it. I follow Dr. Fung on RUclips who is a huge proponent of IF for diabetes management and insulin resistance. He also stated that some people don't respond to moderate IF protocols and may need to do something more extreme which I am definitely not a fan of. If I fasted for longer periods; I could probably get the results. However, I don't see that as being a long-term, sustainable option.
I've done 36 hour fasts a week with a 5 hour window the rest of the week and also restricted my diet to 20 carbs a day. No processed food at all. Vegetables, fish and eggs. Maximum of 1100 calories but usually less. Guess what? It stopped working and my weight plateaued without changing anything about my diet or exercise routine. Your experience is not a universal truth.
Where can you get the compounded drug?
I am currently taking Wegovy. It has done wonders for me. Anything sugary taste funny including alcoholic beverages. I love it!! I have lost 20 lbs in two months without exercise which I know I have to start doing. I can truly say this medication truly works.
I heard there is a shortage… how long have u been on it?
@@Mita0.0.0 I have been on it for a little over three months. The 1st month I saw no changes. I thought it was not working and almost stopped taking it. But the 2nd month I started noticing the changes in the taste of sweets and my appetite started decreasing.
It made me so sick could not keep anything down.
Thanks for sharing. Can you share your weight loss clinic?
How can one but this meds living away from the US?
I worry about tumors though, many of these seem to cause or have caveats for tumors.
I also causes thyroid cancer and gall bladder issues
I notice nobody likes to mention that…
Can you tell me where I can find that information?
I just got Ozempic to help with weight loss and pre-diabetes. I had gastric sleeve back in 2019, and lost close to 100lbs but hit a plateau and started gaining weight during COVID. So I heard about Wegovy but Wegovy is back order and Ozempic is the same drug, so I will start next week. And it is covered by insurance because of my pre-diabetes.
I had a gastric sleeve in 2012. Lost almost 100 lb as well. It is 10 and 1/2 years later and I'm just starting to regain in the past year I have regained about 28 lb or so and yo-yos depending on what I'm eating and how much I'm exercising. I start my ozemic tomorrow but also have a hernia surgery coming up pretty soon so don't know if they are going to redo my sleeve or something it's being discussed I really don't know but I'm a hundred and fifty nine pounds right now used to be 218 I'm 5'1 and 62 years old starting to feel uncomfortable again and a lot of back pain which I will probably always have due to three different back problems but it's getting worse as I gain weight
@@deborahlockwood9035 don’t give up sis keeping looking for options.
@@chrisarfath3382 thanks. I did start. I was 159 the day I started and I am 153.2 today. I'm sure it's water weight and don't know how long I'll be on it I know everybody seems to think you free game all your weight but if you have learned new habits such as eating more healthy and proper portions and moving your body more and exercising some I don't see why I would regain all my weight.. and at 5'1 and 153 lb I don't foresee me being there very long or I would lose too much weight right
151.4 today and took my second injection this morning
@@deborahlockwood9035 I started at 250lbs about 5 weeks ago, down to 241. I'm not trying to lose it fast, I want it to stay off. I don't feel very hungry most of the time. But remember, eating is not always hunger, most time it is emotional or habitual. Keep up the great work!
spectacular reviews
I'm trying to get approved for this now.
I was able to get the manufacturer coupon for $25.00 for Mounjaro. I haven't started yet. Only picked it up today from the pharmacy. Right now I'm 242 lbs with many chronic conditions. My insurance company would not help me to pay for it. I still do not understand why they are willing to continue paying for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, medications instead of helping people to pay for weight loss drugs like these that can take them off these meds for chronic illnesses. I've started walking up to 2 miles a day now and watching carefully what I eat. Excited to see where I will be in 2023 with the help of Mounjaro!!!
Because they make more if you stay obese, diabetic, hypertensive smh.
How did it work for you. Did you have any of the side effects? My Dr took me off it after 1 month due to horrible side effects and allergic reactions. Just wondering if others have the same experience. I did lose 14 lbs that month.
@@barbarahubble8635 is working wonderfully! No side effects. Down 15 lbs so far! I have incorporated walking 3 times weekly to help me lose more. Cuts appetite in half! I have no more cravings! Would like to lose at least 50 lbs.
Fantastic!

Hello how are you doing?
Thank you
🙋♀️🙋♀️ I'm a type 2 diabetic and my doctor put me on TRICITY it not only helps me to not over eat but it helps me to lose weight..
Tried both Trulicity & Ozempic and the only one that did anything was the Trulicity with regards to my A1c but nothing else. Taking Ozempic is a freaking nightmare to figure out and get right so I stopped after e injections bcus it is a very complicated shot to understand. I lost 21 lbs by simply walking 4 miles as Steen as I could muster the will. I'm going to try *Rybellsus* to see if it will do for me what my sister claims it does for her.
I have been using this injection for 5 weeks, and it works!! Keeps me full longer and lessens my cravings. I use to workout 5 times a week, eat clean, and still did not get such significant results. Now I added this shot to my routine of working out and healthy eating and it has made such a difference!!! I am losing twice as much as I have in a month. Also, it has helped relieve the pressure on my joints since I have rheumatoid arthritis❤🎉

I tried 1.5mg yesterday. I don’t exactly feel really good and I definitely don’t want to eat. I feel sick if I try to eat. I don’t think I can work out if I keep feeling like this. I don’t want to lose muscle, so I’ll have to force feed myself some protein shakes.
Doses seem to be around .25 mg. Taking a 6x dose and not enjoying the feeling isn’t a big surprise. Some might scale back to standard dosage and ease up if necessary.

I stared at .25 then .50 I stoped because I finally stopped feeling nauseous. I have to go up to 1.0. Well not have too. But better numbers if I do. I have diabetes.

I just didn’t know people take 1.5. Interesting.
I just looked up the patent info for Ozempic and it reads: ‘Ozempic was eligible for patent challenges on December 5, 2021. By analyzing the patents and regulatory protections it appears that the earliest date for generic entry will be December 5, 2031. This may change due to patent challenges or generic licensing.’ 😢

Yes please tell us about your hypo, i do have this condition, and was taking medication for it, but have a very bad endocronologist who told me "is up to you if you want to continue taking you medication for your hypo, or stop" . the last lab test i took months ago for antibodies came back through the roof, so how is that this doctor told me it was up to me to continued taking the medication for my tyro, or discontinued? I continued taking it, but i ran out of it a couple of months ago, and now i want to find a "good endocronologist but is not easy to know who is bad who is good. Is a matter of luck. If you said that this medication help you to be off your tyro medication to which medication are you really talking about? Also i live in southern california does any body here knows a good enducronologist?
I'm on OSEMPiC very similar I think I have no appetite since I started this injection, and it is a life saver no other med was working for me for my type 2 diabeties my blood sugar before using this med was in the 200s now it's perfect it's like 110- 120 I lost probably about 15 pounds in 4 weeks still loosing my stomach is shrinking I'm so happy and more confident 👍👍👍❤️ thankkk God my insurance pays 100 % for my medicine

Hi, how can I get the new injection weight loss drug? What is the name of it?
Peptides glp-1 you’re welcome
Depending upon the manufacturer, the name can be: Wegovy, Semaglutide, or Ozempic.
please don't. there's a global shortage and diabetics can't get it
What is the name of the generic medication?
It’s not the carbs. It’s the foods that are all carbs+fats. Cake is carbs+fats disguised as carbs. Fats have 9cal per gram and carbs have 4cal per gram. It’s pretty much impossible to over eat with low fats unless you eat yourself sick. Get some more lean proteins like chicken breast and fish. Shrimp are almost all protein and dont worry about the mercury it’s not a problem in shrimp. People be eating chips and ice cream when their bodies are hungry for MEAT and beans
How do I get this?
so the compounded version is cheaper???
I was paying 1200 ZAR a month for the smaller dose pen of ozempic for pre-diabetes.
The US seriously needs to fix its pricing regulations.
It's also nice how this story has glossed over the GLOBAL SHORTAGE people using it for weight loss has caused.
I haven't had any in months. I was using it for auto-immune-related pre-diabetes. it's not like fixing my diet and exercise would be any help.
But fixing your diet MIGHT help. I subscribe to Dr Eric Berg amongst others on RUclips and many of his followers have managed to reverse their type 2 diabetes completely, through following his advice on diet. Another one to look up, Dr Ken Berry MD. They will tell you and go into detail with regards to why you're pre-diabetic and what you can do to help yourself without medication. Dr Berg also covers a range of other ailments and how to alleviate symptoms.
They say I’m morbidly obese. However, I just think they are trying to scare me. I don’t like being overweight, but every thing I have tried, at first, worked, but caused more weight to appear. I really need help. I don’t like looking like this. I have, not even, one person that, talks to me, let alone encourages me. It’s hard to move, so I don’t. If you want to help me, I am ready to accept help.
Look up "Dr. Berg" and "Dr. Sten Ekberg on RUclips. They both talk about proper diet and intermittent fasting in a way that's easy to understand and follow. Really, it's all about getting back to the way we ate for most of our existence. Those two should help, good luck, I believe in you!
I was on a strict Paleo diet and walked religiously for 2 years in the mountains of Idaho. I became an aerobic monster and I got stronger with resistance training, free weights and machine training... I'm 73. I got stronger....I didn't lose a God Damn pound. But on Mounjaro, I'm 75 lbs lighter , strong and aerobic.... screw the old way...better living thru chemistry I say

My weight-loss doctor prescribed the generic injection, semaglutide and adipex for weight-loss. She calls it in to a pharmacy, named Empower here in Houston. The semaglutide is less than $60 and it's simply the generic name for Ozempic. Empower provides personalized medication that is both convenient and economical.
what is the doctor name
May you please share the doctor's info
Semaglutide is not available in generic form yet, and won't be until Sept 2023 at the soonest, but more likely 2024. I just read an article about the civil litigation regarding the drug manufacturer, Novo Nordisk.
Ozempic is a name brand drug, not a generic, and people on Medicaid won't be able to access it. People on private insurance will have an easier time.
@@kaylamariehomeandliving3977 Ozempic is not generic, it's a name brand drug. There is no generic form of Ozempic (semaglutide) on the market yet.

I am glad this works for you but I do not like putting medications in my body when I do not know what the long term effects could be. I also heard a few doctors say that once you stop taking this drug, you will gain weight so you have to take it for the rest of your life if you want to keep the weight off.
I understand and felt the same way, until I started seeing the long term effects of being overweight, which is just as bad, and since I am in a wheelchair its more challenging to stay active, like I can't walk, etc. so it is important to lose weight.
Where can we get this compound?
I have ozempic .25 - .5mg pens single use in sealed box available.
Do anyone know the name of this doctor how I can get in contact with him. 🙆🏻
Just started wegovy today and I'm excited to see what results I can get
Bon courage

Soooooo hows it going? How much have you lost?
My left ear loved this video
Quick Questions please.... Can this injections be used for the rest of your life? What happens when you stop injecting?
So how do you get this generic version as discussed in the second video?
Hello how are you doing??
I'm wondering too
Wegovy worked AMAZING but cost me half my thyroid due to fast growing tumors…bummer. I have boxes of the stuff in my fridge and can’t take it. I gained back half the weight since stopping. I’m tempted to just grab a pen and start again but I just got half a thyroid left. 😰
Sell them. Plenty of people will buy them they cost $1300 without insurance I'm sure you could fetch at least $600 a pen.
Don't do it!! I have half a thyroid too, not because the medication. I am overweight as well, I know it sucks, but your life is more important! Good luck!

The US have a form of ‘public health care’ though that Obama wrote into law. It’s probably double $60 on average but other political party criticize it so much that uninformed people who are swayed by dishonest Republicans (Trump’s party) don’t use it. Most employed people get insurance through their jobs and sometimes the better the job, the better the insurance. The advantage of US healthcare is the quality. Hospitals feel like hotels. The care is high level. You can get diagnosed, surgery done next week and you go home feeling like you were never diagnosed with whatever it was. But of course, if you are really poor and struggling that’s when you may not have health care which is horrible. Yeah Trump’s party did things to deliberately drive up the price of ‘Obamacare’ just to make it fail’ and people still vote for them. People who can’t pay for ‘Obamacare’ are statistically still a small amount of people though. And Obamacare is not the name of the insurance. Republicans called it that when they were trying to give it a bad name like Obama’s name is bad. Obama is a class act.
@@sarahbartlett1196See my comment above. US have very similar system to you after Obama.
Insurance won’t pay because they know it works and people will pay almost anything to lose weight. So insurance doesn’t have to. You did it for them
No quick fix pill. Just hard work
I live in Louisiana , I can't get my doctor to get me the prescription for wegovy or ozempic.
I have ozempic .25 - .5mg pens single use in sealed box available.
Youd think health insurance companies would be pushing this. It is a huge preventative measure.
Wow this is a game changer
Wegovy wasn’t available for me when I went back for the next level. But it was working when I used it.
This medication has horrible side effects. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and depression. Don’t take it unless you are willing to go through it. These symptoms might go away or they might not. I’m speaking from experience because I’m currently on it. I am miserable and have lost a day of work because of the side effects. Use with caution.
I’ve been hearing terrible things about this drug. I wish they wouldn’t frame it as only positive.
That's interesting l am on very strongly highly doses of medicstio due to severe mental health issues. Have been hospitalised 12 in 8 years and have had severe episodes of self harm. Thanks for the info😳
I had to get off, it does the job but just like you I was miserable
Thier is a lot of positive feed back to👌❤️
Maybe you need to return to your doctor. You may benefit from Zofran, vitamin B12, and some counselling. Have all of these been tried??
Is this the one that causes cancer?
I’m on 1mg ozempic for diabetes/weight loss. It’s improved my diabetes, but no weight loss. One thing to know, if you inject on the inside of your thigh (the fleshy part), any nausea you may get from it gets reduced.
Did you start on 1 mg? Or did you start on smaller doses first
No weight loss with ozempic either
Some people lose more weight with increased dose I hear
U will see effects in 8 weeks so u start out on 0.25mg so ur body adjusting to it after 4 injections 30 days u will increase ur dosage to 1mg after ur 8th injection u will start to notice difference in ur weight but u still have to make sure u eat probably can't be eating ice cream candy and fried foods u still have to maintain somewhat of a diet but some people who are on it just get full drinking water and two bites of food. So basically it makes u feel full longer and in all ur stomach will go back to it's normal size or even smaller size best thing I would recommend since if u on that medication ozempic start boiling eggs eat those it helps and gets u full eat green vegetables cut ur carbs stay away from bread or fried foods eat in moderation and u will see ur pounds sheet without any exercise this medicine is suppressing ur appetite following this diet is not going to be a challenge for anyone you will lose over 80lbs without having to wait
10 months u be dropping it in around 4 months but if u don't follow any diet it will be taking longer 10 months or more so yes it's ur option some people can't diet and some do have to will power to do it u can drop 150lbs in less then a year with exercise 20min a day cardio walking not running just walking.
Actually, I paired it with a particularly dangerous “thermagenic” and loss 7% body fat (21 lbs)two weeks in. I was surprised at the synergy between the two,
Yes You look wonderful 🎉
I tried to get it but my doctor said it was almost impossible to get.
this is the best
How can I get this new medicine please?
I have ozempic .25 - .5mg pens single use in sealed box available.
Is this only for losing a lot of weight?
Does wegovy
Help women over 50 with A hysterectomy?
Its too bad drug companies wont let those of us who aren't diagnosed as diabetic use these drugs, even with their coupons. After coupons $1000 + per month is NOT affordable..
Not always I have been on it for about 4 months list 12 pounds but not anymore I have a lot of health issue. It did lower my A1c that's all I still crave sweets.
I haven’t lost much weight I am 57 struggling to lose weight this is very expensive to used it for 7 months
I thought this was for diabetics . It was going to be life saving in some cases. Why is it now being marketed as a weight loss drug? Pharmacies are on back order because doctors are prescribing for weight loss. Am I missing something ?
Because they are trying create shortages to drive prices up 8 units which last me a month is almost $1000.00
It's the same product as Ozempic, just with a few changes. Ozempic is for diabetics, Wegovy will be solely for weight loss.
Cha ching!
Side effects are very bad, pancreatic cancer.
(please note that I have never been fat but I did want to shed a few pounds)
If you are not a diabetic, why not consider fasting? It's cheaper but it will suck for the first few weeks. I only eat one meal a day and after a few weeks have passed, I do not experience hunger pangs as much as the average person (maybe once every 4 days). I drink lemon water/zero calorie drinks/tea through out the day as I work.
Fasting consistently will cause your body to produce less ghrelin (hunger hormone) and it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars an injection.
Why not? Because people can do whatever they feel is best for them. Instead of having abortions, why not consider abstinence?
@@AH-xf6cp agreed, isn't the freedom to choose wonderful ☺️
Guys you do realize stopping meds is not in "demand" as theres no money in not selling drugs
What will happen to these people if this medication stop working?
Yeah diabetics are doing without it now because I can’t get a hold of any of it 🤬
I wish I could get that but how.much does it cost?
I have ozempic .25 - .5mg pens single use in sealed box available.
How can I get this medicine?! I will drive to LA to get it!
I have ozempic .25 - .5mg pens single use in sealed box available.
You can ask around to see if any spa places offer the shot. But since you are not prescribed it by a doctor for diabetes, you’ll have to go in their weekly to get the injection, and they will be monitoring you on your dosage and slowly increase it.
I have type 2 diabetes. Last year there was a global shortage of Ozempic and I went six weeks without it, finally going back to the insulin injections I used to take twelve years ago. I went in for a routine eye test today and they told me that there were signs of diabetic damage to my eyes. I have to go back in three months to see if the eyes have healed or not.
Now I understand that obesity can be a serious problem, but I think the people facing blindness or amputation should have first call on this medication.
That is terrible for you! I do want to say tho, people who aren’t diabetic aren’t being approved for ozempic. So the ozempic shortage has nothing to do with ppl who are overweight/obese taking Wegovy. It has everything to do with the manufactures and their needing to produce more pens. So the overweight/obese people aren’t stealing medication from the diabetics in need of their meds.
What are the side effects, other than nausea???????
Trouble taking a sh1t. Ask me how I know lol
You go girl 🎉
