I don’t think the jowls and the hair loss is from the drug, I think it’s from extreme weight loss and malnutrition.

I'm with you. It's not the drug, it's the speed at which you lose weight, giving your skin no time to contract and adjust to your weight loss.

I'm kind of for Ozempic and others like it because you get weight loss fast. You flat out don't feel like eating and it takes all that "food noise" out of your head. But only temporarily. Use it as a kick start for your weight loss and then get off of it and continue normal dieting.

It makes you lose fat, yes, but it also makes you lose muscle and bone strength.

I hear the same things, Lizavetta. I think the GLP-1 drugs can be helpful when accompanied with lifestyle changes like you said.

I have read some patients stop using them and regain the weight. I know people that did the same with gastric bypass surgery as well.
