When I first started Forteo, I gained seven pounds in six weeks and developed what some describe as "watermelon belly" after my injections. Already being overweight, I continued to gain more over time, which led me to explore Wegovy as an option.

Now, after one month on Wegovy, I've lost 11 pounds, my energy has increased, and I feel much more positive overall. Remarkably, my "watermelon belly" disappeared within 24 hours of starting it. The only lingering side effect from Forteo seems to be occasional tightness in my right calf, which lasts for several days at a time.

As for Wegovy, I’ve had zero side effects—no nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea—just steady weight loss. So far, I couldn’t be happier with the results!

I've now been on Forteo for nearly a year and will be going for my DEXA scan this month. I'm hopeful to see positive changes in my bone density. I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
