Obesity
"Several years ago, my doctor prescribed Victoza for blood sugar issues.  I lost a lot of weight, effortlessly; I just wasn&#039;t hungry.  Then I regained the weight (probably double what I lost), and Victoza never worked for weight loss for me again.  My blood sugar issues weren&#039;t that bad, so the doctor took me off it.  I had hoped Saxenda would be the help I needed since it&#039;s the same med at a higher dose-- something that would just make me easily satiated.  I&#039;ve been on it for five months, and I have only lost a few pounds.  I&#039;m at the highest dose.  Very disappointed.   The primary side effect I have is heartburn, which comes way after I&#039;ve eaten and therefore doesn&#039;t help curb my appetite."
