Even before Jennifer Fessler shared her steamy memories of the late, great James Gandolfini on RHONJ<\/em>, the Ozempic rumors were swirling.<\/p>\nIn fact, she may have been ahead of the curve in using the life-saving diabetes medicine as a luxury weight-loss tool.<\/p>\n
Recently, Fessler\u2019s Ozempic use landed her in the hospital.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s out of the hospital. She\u2019s doing better now. And she\u2019s still <\/em>on Ozempic.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>On Watch What Happens Live, Jennifer Fessler weighed in on a number of topics \u2014 especially her friends.

For now, though, she\u2019s still making (controversial) use of the drug as an appetite suppressant.<\/p>\n
Despite her recent hospitalization with an impacted bowel, she\u2019s more than happy to boast about continuing to use it.<\/p>\nOn RHONJ, Jennifer Fessler wears a bold cobalt blouse while speaking to the confessional camera. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI\u2019m not afraid of Ozempic,\u201d Fessler said this week, \u201cand I will tell you I have had an experience that was not good \u2014 and I\u2019m pretty positive it was about the semaglutide \u2014 where I had to go to the hospital for an impacted bowel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fessler said this alongside cohost Jackie Goldschneider on their shared podcast, Two Jersey Js<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m still not nervous about it,\u201d she emphasized. \u201cWhen it comes to things having to do with my physical appearance, somehow that goes out the window. For instance, I\u2019m not afraid at all of going into surgery for anything cosmetic.\u201d<\/p>\nAppearing as a Friend of the Housewives on Season 13 of RHONJ, Jennifer Fessler spoke at the Reunion about the reaction from the public to one of her anecdotes. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFessler shared that, in over a year, she has lost \u201cmaybe 22 pounds\u201d total from Ozempic. Yet she blames herself for her hospitalization.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was drinking no water, eating no vegetables,\u201d she claimed. \u201c\u2018Cause something that happens, a new experience for me, is being able to eat what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fessler went on: \u201cEven when it\u2019s not the most healthy choices and still lose weight. So maybe for the first time in my life, I\u2019m losing weight on pizza and bagels and ice cream.\u201d<\/p>\nDespite her demotion to \u201cFriend of\u201d this season, Jackie Goldschneider stood up for her actual friend. (Image Credit: Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cHaving said that, I noticed there was constipation, I didn\u2019t do anything about it. I wasn\u2019t taking Miralax, that you take every morning, or any kind of stool softener,\u201d Fessler admitted. \u201cI hadn\u2019t gone in a week, then it was a week and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fessler did not immediately seek treatment, and says that she\u2019s the one \u201cto blame for ignoring [her side effects] and allowing them to escalate to the point where I became impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, she says, she\u2019s \u201cproactive\u201d and drinking more water, taking laxatives, and more.<\/p>\nJennifer Fessler entranced many of her RHONJ castmates with a spicy tale about a late, great actor.

Until very recently, only people who needed it to live took to the injections.<\/p>\n
Since it became the weight loss drug of choice among the wealthy, Ozempic (and similar semaglutides) have had shortages on multiple continents. Which means real problems for people who need it.<\/p>\n
So we\u2019re talking about a weight loss drug with known risks, unknown potential long-term risks, and finite supply. Fessler still thinks that it\u2019s worth the risk, and we\u2019re hard-pressed to condemn her. Our culture does brutal things to women over the shapes of their bodies.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
