Schumer’s back surgery comes months after the “Kinda Pregnant” star began using a new weight loss medication.
Earlier this year, Schumer praised the effects of Mounjaro (also known as tirzepatide) after experiencing the negative effects of Ozempic.

“I wanted to share and keep it 100 with you, that years ago – and yes, this is completely unsafe to be driving and making a video – years ago, three years ago, I tried WeGovy and I was like puking,” Schumer said in the clip captured while she was behind the wheel.

“I couldn’t handle it. I don’t know if they’ve changed the formula or whatever… but anyway, I went on this telehealth meeting with MidiHealth, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself, cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are like nurses and teachers.”
In addition to the injectable medication, which is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, the “Snatched” star has a new routine which includes hormones.
“They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms of being in perimenopause have disappeared,” Schumer said.

“My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more if you know what I mean – I’m talking about sex.”
She added, “So that’s been great, Mounajro’s been great… I’m having a really good experience with it and I wanted to keep it real with you about that.”

Schumer told Howard Stern earlier this year that she was forced to quit Ozempic due to terrible side effects.
“I have this gene – GDF15 – which makes you extremely prone to nausea which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like bedridden, I was vomiting and then you have no energy but other people take it and they’re all good,” she said on “The Howard Stern Show.”
