Saxenda - or Australian equalivent

[JayBoo 3]

Hello,

I posted a while ago about maybe getting a re-sleeve! Surgeon today has told me my stomach is still perfect after Gastric Sleeve. He wants me to try a 4 weekly injection called?? (Cannot recall the name) But from "Doctor Internet", I figure it is like Saxenda! (FYI - I have gained 24 Kg since first sleeve)

I'm a bit shocked by the side effects - has anyone tried it and can you let me know successes and regrets??? PLEASE!!!!

I tried it for a fairly short period only as it made one of my autoimmune symptoms worse as I progressed through the higher doses. For the three weeks I used it, I was fairly fortunate that i didn't feel any of the nausea or stomach upset issues that are some of the side effects. I didn't like injecting myself but I would have likely continued using it for a little while (if it wasn't for the autoimmune issue) as I was given a free month's (or was it three month's) supply by a doctor.

It is expensive, so be prepared to spend some $$.

In one of the subforums here (the ESG one) and on a couple of fb pages I belong, some people have had good success with saxanda.
