After several failed attempts to reduce weight, Mama June Shannon began receiving weight-loss injections, and she has now joined the ranks of celebrities who use these injections.
On April 16, the From Not To Hot actress shared a video on Instagram disclosing that she is taking semaglutide, a prescription drug that has been approved by the FDA for treating type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity.
The 44-year-old reality star claimed that after struggling with her weight, she made the decision to take this medication.
She started the video by talking about her weight gain over the years, saying, “As you know, I had gastric sleeve surgery back in May 2015.” I used to weigh 550 pounds, and that day, I dropped to 311 pounds by myself.
