An Australian woman wanted to lose weight for her daughter's wedding. Trish Webster, 56, was prescribed Ozempic, a medication primarily used to treat Type 2 diabetes and weight loss. However, her story took a horrific turn after she died from gastrointestinal illness. Her husband is now warning that the popular weight loss drug is "not worth it at all."

The medication initially helped Mrs Webster lose weight quickly, but it soon made her sick.  On January 16, a few months before her daughter's weddin
