Several months ago, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania underwent a heart procedure. During this timeframe, Dolo had to hit the pause button with Mounjaro, her weight loss medication. Despite the pounds gained during this period, she regrets nothing. But, speaking of the side effects that this medication brought back into her life, alongside her recent surgery, Dolores does have a warning and a suggestion to make.
RHONJ star Dolores Catania shares weight loss and health update
On her heart procedure, Dolores “had a condition called AFib, where I was feeling my heart beat out of my chest,” she explained to E! News. She then urged her fans to take their health seriously, warning, “If you ever feel a flutter in your chest, you need to get that checked. That’s not something to ignore.”
Dolores understands that this symptom often mirrors anxiety. However, she continued to press that anyone feeling this symptom must “go to a cardiologist and get a checkup.” Way to use your platform for good, Dolores!
However, while preparing for her procedure, Dolores had to stop taking Mounjaro. She gained “probably 15 pounds in over a month.” But, “Now that I’m back on, I’m healthy and I feel much better,” Dolores explained, noting that she is now “down 10” pounds.
Following her procedure, Dolores resumed taking Mounjaro, but feelings of nausea hit her almost immediately. Thankfully, Doloroes found a way to help her deal with this pesky little side effect. She now takes Advanced Herbals, a ginger chewable made by Dramamine, which makes her nausea side effects quickly fade away.
Also, never let anyone make you feel bad about taking a weight management pill, Dolores added. “Don’t not do it because you’re afraid of what somebody else thinks,” she stressed.
