All of them dropped the weight fast. Huge difference.

All but one claim it’s because they started walking.

I do have to say they all look fabulous!

So true! No one says anything about it, they’re just skinny all of the sudden. Two of my acquaintances were slender to start and now look skeletal! I inadvertently saw they were paying for semaglutide via Venmo, so I know that’s how they did it (at least a few months ago).

They were using Venmo to pay for it?

This. fake

Probably paying for compounding drugs at a MedSpa.

It's great not only for simple weight loss, but in my case, for re-setting habits and mental expectations. I got "willpower" and the ability to distinguish between hunger and habit and boredom-- that was huge.

Great news! I am at my goal weight and ready to go off. I don't love what it's done to my face, so I don't want to risk losing any more. I think I learned that if I just stay off alcohol and snacks, I can stay slim on my own.

He stopped over a year ago as costs increased and he didn't want to pay out of pocket. He developed serious gastrointestinal issues due to the ozempic and the slowing of his digestive system. He is now on meds to treat his acid reflux and stomach issues. He has been in a bit of pain from it.

I only bring this up because it's a long term side effect that developed after years of use and finally stopping. He advised me against it

A side effect of aging is GI issues and increased acid reflux. Also seen in older people after Covid. I would question any doctor who was telling a patient that old to take Ozempic for any reason.

Well, clearly you are not a doctor. But "question" away if you are ever in this position.

Do you have access to research on any GI issues that occur over long term use for conditions other than diabetes?

Obesity = lower fertility.
Thin or muscular = higher fertility.

Please don’t take it unless you’re cleared by your doctor. One of my dogs has pancreatitis and his symptoms after we adopted him (before we had a diagnosis) were heartbreaking and debilitating beyond belief. I imagine it’s equally horrible for people. Don’t do that to yourself! The fact that pancreatitis is a side effect is really terrifying to me. I do wonder how many long term users will develop pancreatitis and other GI issues.
