I am on ozempic and it has worked well for me . But another layer of appetite control would help. I did lose 20 lbs the first 6 months on it. And I had just lost 40 lbs and had hit a plateau.

I could stand to lose a bit more and this new injectable may just be the way to do that plus so many other benefits
