I had bariatric surgery 20 years ago. I lost a great deal of weight and kept it off. If I gained a little, and I did, I know that it was my fault for not sticking to the program. I believe anyone who says, it didn’t work, means, they didn’t work at it. Bariatric surgery is a tool not magic. You will put weight on if you consume the wrong foods. Anyway. I am a Diabetic 2. When Ozempic first came out, my doctor put me on it to lower my A1C. It was awesome. I dropped about 10/15 pounds. The important thing to me, was keeping my blood sugars intact. My A1C has been wonderful. What I do understand that a diabetic and non diabetic metabolize Ozempic differently. It wasn’t made for weight loss to start off with. I know that I’ll be on it for the rest of my life. I am able to maintain my current weight without any complications (except for the cost, even with Medicare, prescribed for Diabetes 2). I know that it affects people without diabetes differently. People without Diabetes will lose more weight easily and quickly, more so than Diabetes. Complications might be due to the fact, that the drug was made to treat blood sugars. I understand if you stop Ozempic (for weight loss only) statistically you’ll gain 1-1/2 pounds per week. To me, unless you plan on using it for the rest of your life, you’re wasting your money and doing your body harm. By no means, am I perfect, however, whenever I hear that Bariatric surgery doesn’t work or Ozempic doesn’t work, it’s usually our lack of commitment. Everyday is a struggle, and I know what I should and shouldn’t eat. If I eat the wrong foods, it’s my fault, not Bariatric surgery or using Ozempic. 120 pounds down for past 20 years. Good luck to all.
