sorry ozempic is the only one I could give figures on for definitely. However its worth considering too. 2 stone down and not on point with diet. Another stone and I'm at goal. Had years of failed dieting and a lifetime of yoyo. This is a game changer.
I got confirmation on the sunday afternoon and they were ready on the Thursday morning.
Boots rejected my order yesterday so I’ve tried with Superdrug
Thanks, I received confirmation Monday so fingers crossed for Friday then. Did the in branch pharmacist say anything when you collected them?
Bugger! Hope SD come through for you. Do you have any idea why Boots declined?
No, I was a bit worried the guy would interrogate me
but he just asked if this was this a repeat prescription and he told me the pens needed to be refrigerated (the sharps box and needles were in a big brown bag and the pens were just in their box with saxenda clearly on it so if you’re not wanting anyone to see maybe take a big enough handbag or carrier bag to put them in). Good luck!Haha that was what I was thinking.No, I was a bit worried the guy would interrogate me
Mine was approved on the Monday and available to collect on the Tuesday afternoon.
I was nervous about the side effects too but all I’ve had is a dry mouth and metallic taste in my mouth. I have felt a bit hot and sweaty the past couple of days but it passes. I just drink lots of water and sugar free squash and seem to feel ok. From reading this thread I’ve decided I’m avoiding alcohol, anything too fatty or carb heavy and trying to listen to my body and stop eating even if it is already a small portion. I’m not sure about rate of weight loss depending how much you have to lose. I carry lots of fluid so I usually use a lot of water weight the first week of a diet anyway, so I think it probably just depends on the individual.
I have between 1.5-2stone to lose and so far have lost 8lbs in 6 weeks. My friend has just started and has about 4 stone to lose and she lost 10lbs in 10 days.
Be warned you may not hear anything further after boots approve it. I only found mine was ready when I popped in to check. I’d had to text/email etc.OK imma back to refreshing my emails now

Would be interested to hear how you get on. At this point in time I can’t even get past the receptionists to speak to a GP without offering a human sacrifice!
I’m in Scotland but had to pay for it from Boots unfortunately.
Did GP say no?
Thankfully my surgery are pretty decent. You do need to tell the receptionist why you're calling which annoys me but I'm suitably vague and happy with a telephone call most of the time which makes it a bit easier. I'll probably try and get an appointment next week as I'm not working so easier to answer the phone.
Good to know, thanks.
This, it's something you just have to do. Breathe in, and jab when breathing outDon’t overthink it. I promise you don’t even feel it 99% of the time. And on the rare occasion you do feel it it’s just a tiny pinch sensation rather than actual pain
you've got this Honestly you can barely feel it. I grab a bit of fat in my lower belly and it’s barely a scratch going in.Good to know, thanks.
Just wanna start before I overthink the needling myself bit
