"after being forced by doctors to get gastric bypass, i decided that this is not an option for me. i am somewhat physically active still (aqua aerobics and walking at work 4-8km a shift. i have tried diets and juicing only to keep gaining. i needed some extra help. i researched this product and other doctor prescribed drugs such as the pills that block fat but the side effects of wet oily farts and maybe pooping your pants was a no go as well. enter saxenda. its been a week since i started (0.6) and i have dropped 6lbs. my appetite and cravings have eased significantly. no major side effects so far. i drink lots of water and chew your food! chew it until there is nothing. this is a virtually pain free daily self needle injection."
