Michael Gibson, a cardiologist at Harvard Medical School, goes to heart disease meetings, he can\u2019t help noticing a change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe will sit around at dinner and halfway through the meal, we will simultaneously push our plates away,\u201d Dr. Gibson said. \u201cWe look at each other and laugh and say, \u2018You, too?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They share what is becoming an open secret: They tried for years to control their weight but are now taking the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/08\/17\/health\/weight-loss-drugs-obesity-ozempic-wegovy.html\" title=\"\">new obesity drugs<\/a> manufactured by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Robert Califf, the former chief of the Food and Drug Administration, says he hardly recognizes his colleagues. So many are now so thin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cLooking good,\u201d he says he tells his fellow cardiologists at conferences and meetings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There are no studies documenting the percentage of doctors taking the drugs. But physicians \u201care a good litmus test for drugs that are highly effective,\u201d Dr. Califf said. If doctors who read the papers describing clinical-trial results are rushing to get a new drug, that is an indication that it\u2019s really promising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His colleagues\u2019 use of Wegovy and Zepbound reminds him of the use of statins, drugs that lower cholesterol, in their early days. Cardiologists, who were most familiar with the consequences of high cholesterol levels, were among the first to take the drugs in large numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many newly thin cardiologists and diabetes specialists, like so many of their patients, had risk factors for heart disease. Or their blood sugar was creeping up. Or just the physical strain of carrying excess weight made everyday life burdensome. They say they like their new looks but also their new health and energy. In a way, they feel like members of a club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Four years ago, Dr. Darren McGuire, a cardiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern, was struggling with obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Then he started taking Ozempic, the Novo Nordisk diabetes drug that is sold under the name Wegovy for obesity. He later switched to Mounjaro, from Eli Lilly, which is sold as Zepbound for obesity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He lost 30 percent of his weight and got his blood sugar under control. Now, he said, he\u2019s \u201cfeeling better than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He is also struck by the number of colleagues who seem to be using the medications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople look pretty different,\u201d said Dr. McGuire, who is on advisory boards for Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. \u201cIt is amazing.\u201d He described one prominent diabetes specialist, Dr. John Buse of the University of North Carolina, who \u201chas shrunk away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Not quite, Dr. Buse said. But, he said, \u201cI lost 25 percent of my body weight and it totally changed my life.\u201d He had struggled with his size since childhood, gaining, losing and then gaining weight again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When he dieted, he \u201cwould get crazy hungry,\u201d Dr. Buse said. With Wegovy, he said, his weight dropped effortlessly until he reached his goal. Then his appetite returned, which was scary. But instead of regaining pounds, he maintained a consistent weight as he continued to take the drug.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Like other patients, he found that taking the drugs eliminated most of his desire to drink alcohol. Before he started Wegovy, he often would have two or three drinks with dinner. Now he has one, or none.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Buse, who is a consultant for Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, said that he did not often ask people at diabetes meetings if they were taking one of the drugs but that \u201cthere are people who have changed a lot.\u201d He said he would \u201cbet dollars to doughnuts\u201d that they were on weight-loss medication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some cardiologists are still \u201cin the closet,\u201d Dr. Gibson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One is a cardiologist in Boston. She said the person who prescribed Ozempic for her was also a female cardiologist who was taking it. She asked not to be identified because she had told only a few people she was on the drug. She was trying to keep her medical information private, although she suspected that her colleagues might have guessed. She added that she was pretty sure she knew who else was taking one of the drugs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYes, you can definitely tell,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd when you go to dinners, you can definitely see. We eat, like, an eighth of our meal. I know what\u2019s going on here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The doctors know they are privileged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At first, Dr. Buse\u2019s health insurance paid for his Wegovy. But soon North Carolina stopped paying for obesity drugs for state employees, so he paid out of pocket. With a list price of $1,349 a month, it was a major expense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then, at a meeting in Europe, he asked a colleague to prescribe Wegovy for him and got a six-month supply. Dr. Buse was able to purchase Wegovy for a quarter of what it cost in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The doctors also know how to advocate for themselves and navigate the medical system better than many of their patients do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. McGuire\u2019s insurer initially declined to pay for his drugs. \u201cI had to appeal,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a relationship with a primary care physician and know when to keep pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His insurer agreed to pay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Gibson said that his insurer had paid without issue and that he wanted to discuss his decision to take Wegovy openly. (He recently switched to Lilly\u2019s Zepbound, also covered by his insurance, because it elicits an even greater weight loss.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA lot of people are of the mind-set that it is shameful, that it is cheating to use a drug,\u201d Dr. Gibson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the obesity drugs changed his life, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s the greatest thing I ever did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And even Zepbound, powerful as it is, is just the beginning, Dr. Gibson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere are 120 new agents coming along,\u201d he noted, referring to drugs in clinical trials. \u201cI look forward to ones that may have even better safety and effectiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/10\/health\/doctors-ozempic-weight-loss.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Dr. C.
