For those of you who have tried Saxenda, what were your results? How many pounds did you lose and over what period of time?

I’ve heard there can be some quick results and then it tapers off. Has this been your experience as well?


Was anybody concerned about the long-term side effects?

I took Saxenda for six months pre-surgery. It helped me to lose 33 pounds before the procedure. Well, at least 25 of that. The last 8 were lost in the two week liquid pre-op diet. I was happy with Saxenda and didn't have side effects but of course I hated the injections and worried about long term negative effects. I stopped using it the week before surgery.

I used Saxenda for six months and saw no change. It made me nauseous the first day and then for the rest of the six months it felt like I wasn’t using it. I had appointments with my doctor to ensure I was doing it right and an appointment with an “injection educator” to check I was injecting it properly. But it didn’t do anything for me except cost a lot of money.

I'm also in the it didn't work for me camp. But there are several folks in my weight loss support group who have used it and gotten great results.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
