[Harriet-sarah]

Hello everyone!

Yes im still around fighting on, i really am on the mend and want to feel more confident about myself, as after looking pregant for years i have sorted acietics out, but due to all the feeding tubes, protien drins and eating or snacking every 2 hours has took its toll, now im overweight, and worried about diabetes too, and so far all ive heard is good to excellant effects. im seeing a dietition this week, but is it safe for us to have it all points of view is welcome as i know its controversal

I don’t know the answer - sorry - but I intend to ask my consultant as I’m really interested in this too.

I’ve heard positive things about it but I guess it’s still all quite new.

Be interesting to find out xx

My husband has just started on semaglutide. He has no known liver problems but is severely obese (and borderline diabetic). His doctor is worried that it might be rough on his pancreas and is testing bloods after the first month. So that might be something to bear in mind.

My consultant has wrote to my GP instructing them to prescribe it for me.Don't forget we are all different though.

What is good for me might not be good for you.

I was recommended wegovy by my doctor however as weight management closed in Wiltshire I would have to source this myself. I asked my consultant and she could not say either way. I went ahead and bought it online through Asda however after the first round I had confirmation of having cirrhosis and then Asda would not provide this any more.
