June 27, 2024 – A Louisville woman claims a popular weight loss drug she was prescribed for Type 2 diabetes almost killed her.
WDRB Investigates started digging into the serious side effects of drugs like Ozempic and found thousands of others are suffering too.
For Jacqueline Barber, it’s been a long health journey.
“I just see my sisters and my dad, how upset they were and they would see me every week and I would get smaller and smaller,” Barber said, starting to cry while talking about the health issues she has suffered.
Doctors prescribed Ozempic to treat Barber’s Type 2 diabetes back in 2021, but she said it gave her a lot of complications and she couldn’t eat. Barber said the only thing she could keep down without throwing up was peanuts, peanut butter crackers and peanut butter cookies.
“To lay on the couch and throw up nonstop, can’t hardly make it to walk, go anywhere, it’s very depressing,” she said. “I ended up losing 140 pounds. I was down to around 87 pounds, couldn’t walk or get around, couldn’t get off the couch. Nobody knew what was going on. No one put the two together.”
