I was very sick during the 4 months I was on Ozempic. I lost 40 pounds. The nausea was horrible. I have emetophobia so that made it all the more difficult. But I kept taking it out of sheer desperation. When I started to lose my hair that was where I drew the line. My lack of eating caused such a deficiency of nutrients that my hair was falling out. So here I am 1 year later, my hair has grown back but I regained my 40 pounds plus 10. ☹️ I don’t know what to do. I do not have diabetes but I am obese. I’m fairly certain I am insulin resistant although I have not been formally told that by a doctor. I am considering bariatric surgery but am terrified since I have emetophobia. Any suggestions? Would you recommend it?

I was not familiar with Emetophobia (Fear of Vomiting), so I had to look it up. I can understand your reluctance to anything that might make you nauseated or vomit.

Do you talk to your provider about other GLP-1s that might have fewer side effects?
