"started saxenda with dr.-approved diet 9/9/16.  by 11/30/16 was down 26lbs and happy.  have been maintaining between 1-3 lbs of goal.  still taking daily injections.  my insurance didn&#039;t cover &amp; i paid $1300 the 1st time.  thankfully we learned my husband&#039;s insurance covers so now i pay a $35 co-pay. i&#039;ve never reached max dose of 3 mg.  gone to 2.4 mg a few times but get nauseous.  dose alternates between 1.2 mg - 1.8 mg.  cravings are much easier to control.  i eat what i want, but in moderation.  haven&#039;t stayed consistent with exercise though except for walking.  before saxenda i tried everything for 4 years but nothing worked and i gained more weight each time.  i&#039;m age 51, 4&#039;11, 110."
