Dee replied to Dee's discussion 'Victoza'"Thank you for your imput Brian. I stayed on .06 for a month and everytime, after three days I would throw up. I also have slow emptying stomach problem, which according to the instructions you shouldn't use Victoza if you have that. I discussed…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Dee's discussion 'Victoza'"Many people find that the GLP-1 drugs like Victoza work well. I used Byetta/Victoza for more than 2 years. The nausea is a side effect, but many people find that it tapers off after a couple weeks. The standard protocol is to start with 6 mcg and…"
christy replied to Dee's discussion 'Victoza'"I think and not from personal experience, but just from people I know personally and from topics I've read here. I think Victoza is pretty useless. I think for SOME it might help initially, but I think eventually it stops, and for others it…"

I tried again to do the Victoza but again after three days at .06 I started to fill sick to my stomach. Finally did throw up and had about three days food that came up. I decided that was enough for me. Of course after about two days being off it my morning BS was running about 138, which was high for me. I did increase my insulin from 10 units at night to 15 units but it was still high in the AM. My Dr. Has me taking 4 metformins at night with my evening snack. I will see her this month and I…See More

Dee replied to kene's discussion 'victoza weight question:' in the group VICTOZA"My Endo put me on it and it didn't have anything to do with my A1C because it was already 6.7 but she did say it would help me to fill full and I wouldn't eat as much. I am overweight and when I first started taking it I lost 11 lbs and…"

acidrock23 commented on Dee's blog post 'Looking at surgery.'"I had a procedure last year (fixing umbilical hernia...) and got in really early in the day, even though I am fairly healthy, no particular "issues" I suspect that diabetes is enough. I felt badly b/c my dad had something done and…"
Dee commented on Dee's blog post 'Looking at surgery.'"Thank you. That makes me fill better. It seems like a lot of people are having their gall bladders out these days."
brokenpole commented on Dee's blog post 'Looking at surgery.'"The only problem I have is with the overnight fast before surgery. I recommend that you make sure your surgeon knows that you are diabetic and to schedule your surgery as early in the day as possible. I also recommend that you wait until the last…"

Seems that I am having issues with my gall bladder. Only 20% of my food is getting through it. After three days it comes back up unless I only drink my food. I'm concerned because I haven't had surgery sins being diabetic.

Victoza

So far I'm on my third day of taking the Victoza. Have been taking it in the evening at 8:00 at the .o6 dose. Seems ok so far. Endo wants me to stay at that level for one week and then try to go up. I did this before and once I got to the higher dose starting throwing up. So far so good. I am only eating until I start feeling full and then stop. So far I've lost four lbs. in three days and the morning sugar levels are back to 116, 114. unlike the 136 I was having. Seems to be helping there.…

Saw my endo yesterday and because my BS is running high in the mornings she wants me to go back on Victoza. I was taking it before and it just made me sick all the time and I would throw up after taking it for a couple of days. I told her this and she told me to just stay on the .06 for a week and see how that works. My A1C is 6.7. I was put on BP meds about two months ago and a beta blocker and thats when I noticed weight gain and higher BS in the morning. I think I could take this…
