“How did she do it?“asked one of her followers, prompting others to come up with a variety of theories, ranging from the influencer never having stopped using Ozempic to having undergone weight loss surgeries.
“It’s probablyOzempicor some other type of GLP medication,“one argued.
Another replied, “You don’t lose weight that fast onGLP; it’s most likely a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. “
Others defended her progress, mentioning that a year is enough time for someone to drastically change their appearance.
“It’s been a whole year. It’s probably just time and hard work,“a fan stated.
