Ask Sam King how she lost weight and she'll smile and say: 'Simple healthy eating and exercise.'
Sam, who started to gain weight in her 20s, at her heaviest, three years ago, weighed 19 stone.
The drug had to be administered with a daily injection to the stomach. ‘I wasn’t overly keen on that but I soon got used to it,’ she says. Her appetite initially remained unchanged. The doctor had advised her to cut back on alcohol and to ensure she was following a healthy diet of fruit, vegetables and protein from meat and fish.
‘But it got worse. The fatigue – the same fatigue I’d ironically gone to the GP for in the first place – got worse. I couldn’t lift my head off my pillow. I knew exercise was a component of losing weight but couldn’t get up. I’d be sick all day every day.’ These side-effects are not uncommon. ‘Nausea affects about 15 to 20 percent of people, vomiting occurs in five to nine per cent, while diarrhoea is eight per cent and constipation three to seven per cent,’ explains William Van Niekerk, a consultant plastic, reconstructive, aesthetic surgeon at The Private Clinic in Harley Stret.
As Dr Semiya Aziz, a GP based in London who has a special interest in weight loss and management, explains: ‘Ozempic’s ability to help people lose weight varies from person to person. Factors such as genetics, baseline weight, metabolic health and adherence to treatment may all influence treatment outcomes.’
