After five months of using weight loss injections to shed pounds, the famous media personality Oprah Winfrey faced a serious stomach issue that caused her to miss a television appearance. Gail King, the host of CBS, explained that Oprah was absent from a scheduled interview to discuss a new release by American author David Frumbloski, whose book "Familiaris" was selected for Oprah's Book Club, due to a severe stomach problem that led to her hospitalization, according to the British newspaper "Daily Mail."
Gail, a close friend of Oprah, stated that she was suffering from gastroenteritis, commonly known as "stomach flu," mentioning that her friend experienced diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
"Oprah ended up in the hospital due to dehydration, and she had to receive an intravenous injection," she emphasized, confirming that Oprah's condition was extremely serious.
Regarding Oprah's current state, Gail indicated that her friend's health is improving and reassured everyone that Oprah will return to television soon, adding, "She will be fine, she will be fine."
After clearly explaining the reason behind Oprah Winfrey's absence, Gail expressed her hope that her friend wouldn't be angry with her for sharing these details.
Oprah's hospitalization comes five months after the talk show host admitted to using weight loss medications. In December of last year, she revealed that her slim figure is due to taking weight loss drugs, having previously relied on "willpower" to achieve fitness, though she did not disclose the specific medication she was taking.
Last year, Oprah was the subject of numerous rumors suggesting she was using Ozempic injections, which have become a trend among Hollywood celebrities attempting to lose weight, prompting her to finally acknowledge taking weight loss medications without specifying the name of the treatment.
Ozempic and other weight loss drugs like Manjaro and Wegovy are classified as diabetes medications; however, they have gained widespread fame for their significant role in weight loss with minimal effort or strain.
