Members shared mixed experiences with Victoza, with most reporting weight loss as expected, while a few experienced unexpected weight gain, persistent bloating, and severe gastrointestinal issues including nausea and vomiting. Several members offered alternative explanations for the original poster's symptoms, suggesting possibilities like menopause or polycystic ovarian syndrome, and encouraging medical consultation to rule out other causes. A recurring theme was the difficult trade-off many members face between managing blood sugar effectively and tolerating challenging side effects that impact quality of life.

I have gained about 30 lbs on Victoza. I hate that I've gotten so fat but it keeps my blood sugar down.
