I wanted too take semaglutide/ozempic for weight loss but am currently suffering from lipo fibrosis 2/3 years post op) Will semaglutide make my fibrosis worse when I lose weight? Or does semaglutide affect lipo fibrosis at all? Just looking too lose fat not to concerned about the fibrosis anymore but I don’t want it to get even worse when I take the semaglutide or become even more pronounced.

From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
Patients with Type 1 Diabetes are not candidates for Ozempic/semaglutide. While it is true that semaglutide is also marketed as a diabetes medication it is for Type 2 diabetes only. See your physician to learn more.
You are three and a half months out from surgery. It would be fine to begin Ozempic if you are interested in exploring it for weight loss. You can learn more by visiting my website or a provider near you.
It should be fine to take these medications together. However you may need adjustment in your dosages with weight loss. It is best to review all medications with your physician for optimal efficacy and safety.
