I know two..one a nurse another a Resp professional that had Bariatric surgery....And both of them flailed....They could not stop eating....
Celine has some weird thing called stiff person syndrome.
Ariana looks like Amy Winehouse pre-death.
Miley probably has gonaherpasyphilaids.
It looks like it doesn’t have an effect on the face specifically, but that it causes the loss of fat under the skin. I think someone could have a similar effect from just losing weight without drugs.
yup, but at least she followed the protocol and altered her eating patterns if not her eating habits so she lost weight
and good on her for that
tooo many don’t change anything and think the band or surgery will fix everything, and it won’t...
For weight loss to be successful, the person who needs to lose the weight has to be really dedicated to the concept of losing weight.
Having surgery hoping that it will be a quick fix isn’t the answer.
People have asked me how I lost weight (about 70 pounds). I see the same look in their eyes when I tell them that I did it through diet and exercise—they were hoping that I had found some magic pill that works. Nope, I didn’t.
i believe some dermatologists have pointed out that this issue is not new. Rapid weight loss causes it. I suspect much more noticeable in older people.
Then eat less of that.
The "Ozempic face" BS is just clickbait.
For those that can’t stop eating, they should follow Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s “Eat to Live “ diet. I followed it after I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes ten years ago. I dropped 30 pounds with it before straying. I never ate so much on that diet, it was mostly vegetables.
OMG… Al Bundy and fat women insults…
Back when television was still allowed to be funny.
What a miserable looking family.

You are right on target, as there is no quick and easy way. Something very similar happened to me when in 2013 I toped out at around 214 lbs. Someone took a picture of me and when I looked at it I could not believe what I saw, I am male and 5 ft 10inches. I always exercised, each and every day about a four mile walk and one mile swim. But apparently what I have been eating my body could not use it up and did not need. So I cut down on my food intake and it took me three years to get down to around 176 lbs and believe me it was worth it.
You’re probably right. In which case, she should owe the money.
If you don’t stop stuffing your face when your stomach can literally hold a saltine cracker and six ounces of water then rupture the band (or your stomach stretches), that’s on you.
Wrong. Try reading the article.
“She had sleeve gastrectomy surgery, where a large part of the stomach is removed and left behind is a narrow ‘sleeve’.”
yeah i just caught that, and doesn’t change my opinion...
sleeve’s have the lowest post surgery complication rate for bariatric surgeries.
i still bet she dint change her intake and stretched out the sleeve
Wow, that’s news to me about the effects on the face. It just goes to show that every drug has some kind of side effect.
QUICK! Ban forks. It’s a crisis so many people suffering from “fork violence” done to themselves that we must act now and ban forks with more than one tine.
Fascinating. I have heard many good things about Ozempic, but face-destroying is not a well-advertised side effect.

After two years of use, I’m just as handsome as ever.
I have managed to keep my weight loss at a minimum in spite of a loss of appetite (around 20 lbs.). I’m not over weight and never have been.
I can see how losing a lot of weight could change the face features of a really obese person. What the drug accomplished for me is lower my A1C greatly.
One of our daughters has had constantly changing weight since she became an adult. Two years ago, she had some type of bariatric surgery that did cause her to lose a lot of weight. Now she is getting back into the same pattern of weight gain and loss despite the surgery.
I have known quite a few people who have had bariatric surgery, and it has worked this same way for most of them. It works for a while and then they adapt and get back into the same pattern. Our daughter is not an outlier. And she seems less healthy than she did before the surgery.
Everyone faces their own challenges, the majority of people in our society want easy solutions that do not require them to use will power and a long-term commitment to stick with a healthier lifestyle. In the past people had to stay busy and productive to make a decent life for themselves and their families. All the modern conveniences and sedentary forms of entertainment along with people who eat out almost every day instead of making healthier home cooked meals are causing our society to become fatter and fatter.
