What's your experience with Ozempic or Saxenda for weight loss?

Looking for reassurance and advice — elevated liver enzymes and small lung nodules

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a bit of guidance and reassurance. I’ve been really anxious about my recent health issues and thought maybe someone here has been through something similar.

I was on Ozempic for about three years and lost around 80 lbs. I was T2D, but it has “cured” itself. I stopped taking ozempic in May because it was making me feel sick. My bloodwork in late June and early July showed my liver enzymes were around 700. My spleen was enlarged as well as the liver and a few lymph nodes too. My MRI later showed no lesions or masses, and my kidneys are excellent. My enzymes are still elevated but fluctuating, and my doctor believes it’s due to inflammation and stress from the medication. I also don’t have a gallbladder.

On top of that, I have several small lung nodules. The specialists said they likely look like inflammation or scarring rather than cancer. One has shrank. My bloodwork and tumor markers are normal, and I have no symptoms. They’re requesting a PET scan and possibly a biopsy to rule cancer out, but my doctors have said this is just to be thorough. He believes inflammation to be high on the list.

I’m wondering if anyone here has experienced something similar — elevated liver enzymes after stopping Ozempic, or benign lung nodules due to inflammation.
I’d love to hear what helped you heal and what lifestyle or nutritional changes made a difference.

Thank you so much for reading. I’ve been trying to stay calm, but this has been really scary. Any encouragement or insight would mean a lot. I have medical anxiety that is currently out of control.

Warmly,
Tracy
