A Norwegian man with a weight problem was a perfect candidate for Ozempic, until he discovered that no weight loss drug could help his problem.
59-year-old Thomas Kraut had steadily gained weight over the past 12 years and was diagnosed with obesity. He was prescribed Ozempic, but it was having the opposite effect and his belly continued to grow. It wasn't until his doctors took a closer look at him and noticed he didn't have a weight problem... he had a tumor problem -- a 60-pound tumor problem, to be exact.
Doctors spent 10 hours operating on Kraut to remove the enormous growth from his abdomen. The surgery was successful, but the tumor did cause some other problems to his body, including damage to his small intestine and a kidney, which needed to be removed. He has filed a lawsuit against the doctors for their failure to identify the tumor for years. (NY Post)
