"saxenda and appendicitis: i started saxenda march 1st and had no negative issues at first.  i injected every day through march and april and 1/2 of may and lost 20 pounds.  i was looking at one year of prescriptions until i started having constipation that lasted for 5 days and i started having abdominal pain that settled in my lower right abdomen.  the trip to the er and cat scans proved that my appendix was inflamed.  as i sit in the hospital trying to think how a microscopic bacteria could have attached to my appendix and started the infection i realized that the location of my pain, my appendix, and the spot where i may have injected 40-60% of my saxenda injections were one and the same.  needless to say - i&#039;m done with this drug."
