An Australian mom who wanted to slim down in time for her daughter's wedding has died after taking anti-diabetic drugs known for inducing dramatic weight loss.
Trish Webster started taking Ozempic—the trade name of an injectable medication called semaglutide developed to treat type 2 diabetes—after struggling to lose weight through traditional means, her husband Roy Webster told "60 Minutes Australia." The 56-year-old, who did not have diabetes, saw a TV ad for Ozempic and obtained a prescription from her doctor in 2022 after learning that significant weight loss was one of the drug's side effects.
"Her daughter was getting married, and she just kept mentioning that dress that she wanted to wear," Roy recalled. "So, she went into drastic measures."
Trish was on Ozempic before switching to Saxenda, a liraglutide injectable that helps with chronic weight management, according to Roy.
He said Trish lost 35 pounds in five months, but also experienced severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. As Roy explained, "It was one big nightmare from there."
The situation took a turn on Jan. 16, when Roy noticed "brown stuff" coming out of Trish's mouth.
"I realized she wasn't breathing," he remembered, "and I started doing CPR."
Unfortunately, his efforts were to no avail and Trish died that night. Per 60 Minutes Australia, her cause of death was listed as acute gastrointestinal illness on her death certificate.

As a diabetic, I am currently having problems finding my prescrobed Ozempic for my medical treatment as it has a nationwide shortage. Some doctors using it off label to treat for weight loss has caused the drug to be very short and supply.
Of course. My use is an experiment through the VA. They control my refills closely. I'm also told that I can't stock up because too many people are using this stuff off label for weight loss. No doubt it is being abused, that's what people do.
How about the “doctor” that prescribed a diabetes med for a woman with no diabetes?
Notice how the ads mention weight loss as a “side-effect” and then tell you it may not be expected......and, “Ask your doctor is this 💩 is right for you...”
(because they are vaccines.)
LOL 😆
Thank you
(HFCS is very harmful)
It’s definitely worse than sugar soda as near as I can tell
(It is NOT a vaccine)
That’s what I’m saying. It is not a traditional “vaccine”.
(sugar free)
I can’t stand the taste of sugar free anything.
Not even gum. As far as sucralose, stevia, and such.
HFCS is the only thing I can stand.
Darn it.
Yeah I had read that. I wondered about that too.
She looks horrible......”gaunt” is not the way I’d describe her.........
More like death warmed over.
“Just don’t eat carbs or sugar and you’ll lose it. Lazy.”
Exactly! When my husband was diagnosed with diabetes, I totally changed our menus and cut out the sweets in the house. All meals were low-carb. Although neither of us were obese, we both started losing weight.
I could have benefited from losing 20 pounds, but I lost too much. I lost 30 pounds in the first year and then an additional fifteen pounds after that. Earlier this year, my doctor told me to gain ten pounds before I returned for my next check-up. I’m working on it and hope the meal today will add a couple pounds. LOL!
(gain ten pounds)
I did that last semester when I returned to college several decades ago.
I’d tell you how to gain weight but you’ll likely overshoot as I did, LOL 🤣
“I’d tell you how to gain weight but you’ll likely overshoot as I did, LOL 🤣”
I’m using the very successful “evening bowl of ice cream” method. I just keep the ice cream hidden from hubby.

So was it the Ozempic or the Saxenda that she was on when she died?
