Victoza (liraglutide) "My doctor just prescribed this for me. Today is my first day and very excited to see all the positive reviews. My sugar also a bit on the high side so hoping it helps with that as well. I just started at lowest dose. I didn't even feel the needle (hope it went in !! lol) I am hoping to lose 25 to 30 pounds. I have tried other prescription diet aids and did not like the side effects on most. I will update shortly to advise on any side effects and results! Good luck everyone."

Victoza (liraglutide) "I have been under my doctor's care since February 2022 on Victoza. I have lost 70 lbs. I know it seems slow, but it is working. Twelve more lbs. and I will be out of the 200s. It is worth doing. It can make you ill if you eat too much."
