We stopped taking Ozempic and Wegovy — and regained more weight than we lost
NY Post
Drugs designed to treat diabetes have become one of the hottest and most controversial weight loss crazes.
But some people who hopped on the Ozempic train are starting to regret it, claiming they’ve gained back more weight than they lost when they stopped taking it.
Ozempic and Wegovy, a drug called semaglutide designed for people with Type 2 diabetes, helps the pancreas release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high.
However, both have become widely used as weight loss drugs.
The Messenger spoke to several dieters who regained the weight they lost — and then some — like Artemis Bayandor, who lost 15 pounds in six months when she started taking Wegovy in August 2021.
The 41-year-old mom found that she was becoming more full quickly with smaller portions of food. However, she had to stop taking the drug cold turkey when the manufacturer’s Wegovy coupon stopped since her health insurance didn’t cover it and she would have to dish out $1,400 a month out of pocket.

DEAR ABBY: I recently married an old high school flame after 30 years apart. Since we are both in our 50s, we wanted a low-key ceremony — no wedding, no fuss, just us, madly in love and doing our thing. My older sister, the only person we told, begged me to be included — “At least let me sign as witness. At least let me bring a cake. At least let me do flowers.” We took her with us to the courthouse, and she took many pictures, which will be cherished.
