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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
