Thanks for the video, very useful for me!!

[@lejandrode]

Thank you for the information! I'm starting today but the one side effect that freaks me out a little bit is the increased thyroid tumors and cancer, but I guess that's the risk with any medicine!

How many weeks does the first pen last? Thanks for your all your info on saxenda.

[@rsmoffit3755]

Approx 17 days for the first pen.

[@AlilBritt]

So I’m confused, is that 17 weeks?

You’re welcome!

So wish area is best for injection. The stomach or arm? And also how long will one pen go? I thought maybe you use different pens daily.

[@theXchange]

I inject in my abdomen, and have been since I started. That’s what works for me. When the full dose is reached, one pen lasts for 6 days. The pen obviously lasts longer while on the lower doses. You use the same pen daily until all of the medication is dispensed.

[@maryholcomb9087]

Thank you for your response.. I'm starting mine on Wednesday and I'm ready for this new weight loss journey. I'm learning new things and getting prepared

[@theXchange]

That’s great!!!

[@AlilBritt]

Sorry to butt in here but I was watching a video and she had said to switch spots every time. But you know what works best for you.
