"due to my genetics and hormone imbalances it is really hard for me to lose weight no matter how hard i try. my dr prescribed me saxenda and i was hoping this would help. it does, but looking at the studies people only lost about 20 lbs in a year. that seems pretty useless. though it does work by killing your appetite and pretty much turning you off from food. so i did lose 10 lbs in a week but mostly bc i wasn&#039;t eating. however, it is not worth the god awful side effects. the injection stings and left little bruises. the first few days i was just a little queasy, then the nausea got worse, the stomach cramps and mix of constipation and not. then came the awful sour stomach and reflux and the vomiting. after 2 weeks i&#039;m done."
