I have been on Byetta for about 5-6 wks now and I have lost approx 30 pounds. I had put a post on here back then to see if anyone had any info. The shot really makes you have a small appetite. I have noticed that. I don't have the big drops I used to and most all of my clothes are too big now. I don't know if it is a miracle but it seems to be working here. I would make sure your insurance will cover it because it is not cheap. Without insurance I think it would have cost me around 150 for a month.

Actually, I did check, and my insurance does cover it. $50 for three months. Woo! YAy for corporate insurance. And I don't even know if the endo will put me on it, she just thought I'd be interested to hear about it, and I certainly was! If she does put me on it, fine and dandy, if not, new information to file away in my head.
