Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A 69-year-old female with morbid obesity (BMI: 47) and hypertension achieved significant weight loss following treatment with semaglutide. Starting at 241 lb, she lost 90 lb (over 30% of her body weight) over 65 weeks without side effects. This weight loss exceeded the average reduction reported in previous studies. Additionally, her hypertension resolved, and her glucose levels normalized, illustrating the multifaceted benefits of semaglutide in weight management.
