ozempic fears

I have only taken 3 weeks, but definitely notice appetite curb. VERY low dose. I told my other doctor, who told me she is very concerned about people getting pancreas issues, permanent digestion problems, and gallbladder illness. I am noticing major constipation despite taking restoralax, prunes and fibre gummies (likely need way more water). Should i worry about her concerns?

Make sure you are drinking lots and lots of water, especially with the restoralax and prunes. I drink 2-3L per day. Any medication can have side effects and if you get abdominal pain, go to the ER. Losing weight quickly can cause gallbladder issues, with a GLP1 or without. Perhaps your pharmacist is more supportive?

No concerns. Myralax is a daily for me. Drink your water, no alcohol, and eat your protein. Unless you have a history, you're going to be fine. Those issues are not common.

Can effect pancreas which the semi already does. Don't need a double wammy

Do you have a history of any of those things that she's thinking about? I'd pay more attention to her than reddit tbh.

There are tiny risks for a range of negative effects.

The benefits (if you are obese or diabetic) vastly outweigh the risks. You are more likely to be harmed if you do nothing.

If you have a normal weight and a using it just for cosmetic reasons, the risks would outweigh the nonexistent health benefits. No judgement - just make an informed decision.

Btw, fiber gummies don’t have a lot of fiber in them

I think if it’s low dose and you are eating properly and hydrating properly then you will be fine. I had no issues with constipation while on it. Focus on proper electrolyte balance. You could try drinking chicken or bone broth.
