Took wegovy for 3 month and started having sharp pain under my rib on my left side ask tge doc to check my pancreas I did have inflammation 5 months later still get the pain
I monitor 5 patients on semaglutide and all have top of the range or elevated Lipase (3 or 4 being elevated). We are titrating the dose to use the least effecetive dose as infrequently as possible. Pancreas possibly inflammed from the GLP-1 drug
Please help with this question...I had acute pancreatitis 5yrs ago can I use ozempic now for weight loss...I've had no problems with my pancreas sence..
I have two boxes of wegovy, have gallstones and terrified of starting it due to the possibility of developing more gallstones leading to pancreatitis. 😩😭😭😭😭
I got on Depo Provera and gained a bunch of weight,so now Im on a semiglutide and am having bad stomach pain. No fever or anything just stomach pain.Is stomach pain a side effect?
I'm a 43 year old power lifter who discovered that I have diabetes when I had a stroke in October. I think I would be a good candidate because I do resistance training like it is my religion but my doctor is shy to prescribe this to me becuase I had a pancreatic attack that hospitalized me five years ago. Ive since had one severe attack but didn't go to the hospital. If I lose 30lbs that will put me at 270lbs and 20% body fat.
@theofficialdrdan Thank you for the response. The hospital really didn't give me any answers unfortunately. They just told me to eat less fat and sugar. As I wrote, my dietitian and GP are reluctant to put me on this... I booked my first available appointment with my endocrinologist January 2025.
my doctor took me off semaglutide for a few months because my liver and pancreatic enzymes were slightly elevated, he wants to see if they go down before putting me back on, i originally lost 40 pounds from semaglutide and i have gained back about 15 pounds, i would like to try tirzapetide but its expensive
I have been on semaglutide for about 10 months and lost 40 pounds and wanted to lose more but my lipase levels were 394. Can this be reversed and i could go back on?
It is possible with lower doses or a break. But it also poses the question whether you are symptomatic or not. It's know these drugs can raise lipase levels but that doesn't necessarily translate to pancreatitis
@@theofficialdrdan have they found out why it raises lipase levels? Is it making you burn glucose more effectively & keeping insulin low, thereby increasing lipase levels in the blood or something? Kind of like when someone is losing or burning fat rapidly through fasting or a large calorie restriction and has elevated cholesterol because fats are mobilizing & being released in the bloodstream to burn? So cholesterol normally reads higher until it balances out. For example, my cholesterol is always elevated when I get labs if Im regularly intermittent fasting more than 16hours, even if I'm eating healthy, because I assume I'm burning fats. So, I'm assuming it's kind of the same thing happening with the lipase levels since the medicine helps you burn glucose more effectively & keeps insulin low. Just wondering if that's what's going on, and of you are not symptomatic, it's not a cause for concern with the lipase levels, and is just something to keep an eye on? Or should someone actually take a break from the medication if levels are elevated?

Probably the best explanation on this... I have been looking around the net for a while... Thank you
Glad it was helpful!

How does a GLP-1 med help with insulin resistance?
will the price of these medications start to go down in price at some point? id like to try tirzapitide

Continue to follow up with your doctor. The risk is exceedingly low.

Can be. Follow up with your doc

That is a tough call. Really depends what caused the attack initially. I'd ask to maybe see a specialist for review!

How long to lose the 40 pounds?
Do you mean Saxenda?
@@margaretcalafut5092 no, semaglutide
@@begevt dont remember exactly, i think about 6 months maybe a little less
Same issue
Can semaglutide help PEI? 9:40
If you have had pancreatitis does that mean the wegovy injections are a no go ?
Depends on the cause and other factors.
