I've been on it now for 6 weeks I have lost 25 Lbs. I have to force myself to eat I have zero appetite and subdued nausea which has declined in the last two weeks.
I had the same symptom. I went to an ENT and he said my thyroid wasn't enlarged. I was told it is acid reflux...which makes sense.
I started on Victoza in December 2015. To date January 30, 2016 I have lost 16 lbs. once the nausea and vomiting slowed down it was not so bad. But now there are certain foods I used to like and now I can't stand the taste or smell. But in the last 4 days my blood sugars are over 140-145. Very worried.
There was an article in the New England Journal of Medicine (considered the most credible medical journal in the world) that Victoza and drugs like it DO NOT cause pancreatitis. Unfortunately, people with Type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of acute pancreatitis and it's not related to Victoza - which I've now been using for 3 years and have literally read everything you can about it and other diabetes treatments. It's safe (it uses a naturally occurring hormone that is made in your gut) has help me loose a lot of weight and my HbA1c's have been in perfect target. Other drugs like Januvia do not work and Innvoka (and drugs like it, called SGLT-2s) will give all kinds of urinary tract infections and can cause diabetes ketoacidosis (which is something that only Type-1's are suppose to get). Do you research and talk to your talk to your doctor as the big drug companies are trying to pay them to use the non-hormone drugs. Stick with Victoza and insulin - i.e. the natural stuff! This is more than advice and my own experience, it's in the literature.
So since you quit taking victoza - have you gained weight back ?
How is knot in throat ? Status now ?
So have you lost weight ? still losing ? I am just starting.
Great start for you:)
