Ozempic after liver transplant

Posted by sec1205 @sec1205, 2 days ago

I was told by transplant team that taking ozempic after a liver transplant is okay. Has anyone gained a lot of weight and needed help losing it? It doesn't have to be ozempic it could be one of the others.

I personally wouldn’t chance it another drug in your system isn’t always good and have they really tested it enough?? One doctors opinion ? I swim a mile a day and my diet is all organic and really watch what I eat. Zero fast food restaurants limited any other restaurant family owned only and I use an app YUKA to see what’s in it and if it’s worth eating. I don’t eat anything out of a package. I ve stayed the same weight for 2 years a very healthy weight. I treat my liver like gold there’s no way I’m going to ruin it keep that mindset hopefully this advice sinks in my doctor told me this

Yes I have been on Ozempic since last November and have lost 25 lbs. My AIC and cholesterol are down as well as my blood pressure. In February 10,2021 I underwent a liver and kidney transplant. I checked with transplant before taking it, and they are fine with it. It was prescribed and is being monitored by my primary Physician. Very pleased with it so far.

@firecat after my transplant I had to gain back 60 lbs I lost I didn’t know it would be hard to gain weight but it is now I’m back to my best weight, I had the opposite effect you had, good luck with your recovery ❤️‍🩹
