Brad Roberts once felt proud of his dramatic Ozempic weight loss. Within six months, the 44-year-old father of four dropped from 300 pounds to 157, and his transformation even landed him in a commercial for his employer, LifeMD. He believed he had finally regained confidence after years of struggling with his weight.

But behind the impressive results, his body was quietly breaking down. Roberts now says the rapid weight loss left him with constant pain, serious balance problems, and trouble walking. According to the lawsuit he has filed, his hearing worsened so quickly that everyday sounds became muffled and painful, forcing him to spend most days in bed.

Doctors involved in the case claim his ear problems began when fat around his Eustachian tubes shrank too quickly. He has already undergone several surgeries but says nothing has helped. The suit also describes memory issues, trouble speaking, and difficulty doing simple tasks like driving or reading emails.

Roberts and his wife Stacey are now suing the doctor who prescribed the medications, accusing him of over-prescribing overlapping weight-loss drugs without proper warnings or follow-up care. Medical experts supporting the suit warn that excessive use of GLP-1 medications, like Ozempic, can cause severe digestive problems, hearing issues, and other dangerous complications.

LifeMD and the doctor deny wrongdoing and have asked the court to dismiss the case. Meanwhile, Roberts’ family says they simply want answers — and hope his story reminds others to approach rapid weight loss with caution.
