This link might be easier. Sorry about the paywall thing - and sorry if this doesn’t work any better. > **[Ozempic Can Cause Major Weight Loss.

Hi @keshazel - I can’t tell because I’m a subscriber, but @elver put up a workaround, and I put up a second link which should get you around the paywall. Still no luck? In any event, welcome to FUD! ---
