Elena Uhlig Halts Weight-Loss Injection After Side Effects

Her switch leaves a tight, medically required weight-loss target before surgeries.

Overview

  • The actress told followers on Instagram that she stopped the doctor-recommended shot after nausea, stomach pain and a low mood.
  • She now plans a food and movement routine with more protein and breathing drills for rectus diastasis, a split in the abdominal muscles.
  • Doctors say she must lose about 12 kilograms from 94.9 kilograms to be cleared for operations on an inflamed foot tendon and a broken navel.
  • She tried the injection for about two weeks on advice from three physicians after resisting it for roughly two years, and the first dose was fine before problems set in.
  • The shift could risk surgery delays if the target is missed and it underscores how new anti-obesity drugs can work quickly yet upset the gut for some patients.
