Any bandsters out there taking Victoza???

[Rutiglius 0]

I just started on Victoza today to help manage my type 2 diabetes.

I have had trouble with Metformin since I was banded over a year ago. The Metformin extended release stays in my upper stoma too long and I can't eat. The "regular" Metformin upsets my stomach if I take it duriing the day. So...I am on a lower dose of it, taken only at night. However, my blood glucose readings have been too high, so my family practitioner started me on Victoza injections.

One of the side effects of Victoza is weight loss -- which is a good thing, but how it achieves this is through the slower emptying of the stomach. I was wondering if there are any other bandsters out there using Victoza and if so, have you had any stomach issues with it??

I just started today and so far, no problems.

THANKS!
