Trying to lose weight? Let your loved one be your semaglutide

Dr Hans Duvefelt

An overweight man with high blood pressure asked me about Ozempic (semaglutide) the other day, but said it would be difficult for him to afford.

So I asked him: “What does it feel like to be hungry?”

“I don’t know,” he answered. “I can work all day without even eating breakfast and feel fine, but then once I start eating, I just go on and on. I’m not much of a snacker, I just eat big meals.”

I responded: “I have a large hiatal hernia with spontaneous reflux even standing up. If I go too long between meals, I get acid reflux and pain in my upper belly. And sometimes I get cranky and confused.”
