When I was near death requiring both a liver and kidney transplant, at my worst I went from 235 down to 198. That was in January 2021. Now my organs are doing fine but, my blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight are elevated. I now weigh 245. My Primary Doctor has now started me on Ozempic. To treat all of the above. It's only been 4 weeks on a reduced dose till next week when the dosage doubles, so I have yet to see any weight reduction from the drug. I hope that it will solve those problems.
