Carnie Wilson says her doctor warned her last year about the possible serious side effects of taking Ozempic, and while she doesn't think there should be a "stigma" around taking weight loss drugs, it wasn’t the right choice for her. "I personally was too scared for any side effects, gastrointestinal side effects," the 55-year-old "Next to You" singer told Fox News Digital. "My doctor warned me.
He said, ‘This is an option if you want to do it, but I am warning you that it has not been around enough for the way many people are using this, and that is for weight loss." Her doctor has had other patients sent to the hospital due to side effects from the drug, she explained. "I didn’t want to take a chance with my anatomy that I have had gastric bypass surgery and a lap-band over that gastric bypass," she said. "I was not prepared to have — I was too scared for the side effects.
So, it wasn’t right for me. And I do not put anyone down who has done it or wants to do it.
To each his own. I believe that we are OK with having some kind of intervention in our lives.
I’m a proponent of that." Wilson, who is hosting an upcoming cooking show, "Sounds Delicious with Carnie Wilson," said her gastric bypass and lap-band helped her go from 310 pounds to 200 pounds. "That’s frickin’ amazing," she said. "I am so thrilled about that, you know what I mean? I’m not skinny, I’m not perfect, but I’m so much healthier than I was.
And I just want people to be healthy. So, if you take Ozempic or Mounjaro or whatever you do, and it works for you, great. Get healthier.
There shouldn’t be a stigma around any of this.
