Tried ozempic, did nothing for bgs or appetite or weight
 
Surgery offered it to me but then was told wasn't enough supply so couldn't have it, so thought about buying it online ?
 
The problem with Ozempic etc. is that if it works for any particular individual, it only works whilst you take it and often it works by making you feel nauseous or actually vomit and therefore don't want to eat much. If you stop taking it, I believe you resume your normal eating and the weight goes back on. I would hate to spend a lot of money on something that made me feel sick in order to lose weight and when I couldn't afford to fund it, I regained the weight. To me this isn't a good solution.
 
Not something I would consider self-funding myself. Especially if any weight loss connected to it was only maintained by continuing to take the med. I’ve found making my meals a bit smaller a much more reliable way of dropping a few lbs when my weight has crept up.

You need to be careful buying online, there have been many reports of people not getting the real deal!

Good point, there have been a couple of cases where people bought online and it was black market stuff and essentially insulin instead of the correct medication which is in such short supply and at least one person in Austria I think died and another ended up very ill in hospital as a result.

Exactly right, i have been on Ozempic for 6 months now. It still makes me feel awful, i too find myself not eating at all, 48-72 hours isn't uncommon for me not to have eaten more than 500 calories in a day. Even now its the same until it starts wearing off........ just intime for the next injection. Luckily here in the UK its free as part of the NHS.
