Achieving Over 30% Body Weight Loss With Semaglutide in a Patient: A Case Report

A 69-year-old female with morbid obesity (BMI: 47) and hypertension achieved significant weight loss following treatment with semaglutide. Starting at 241 lb, she lost 90 lb (over 30% of her body weight) over 65 weeks without side effects. This weight loss exceeded the average reduction reported in previous studies.
