Hi everyone. First post. Glad I discovered the site. I FINALLY got my Egrifta prescription in late October after waiting over a year. Here is what I have noticed...my large but firm stomach is now loosening up to become a flabby stomach. Has anyone had this side effect? I know it takes awhile to experience results. I used to take Serostim a long time ago and it got rid of my buffalo hump completely, but might consider plastic surgery for that, as it has returned. I'm having difficulty accepting my changed body image and need to lose about 40 pounds. Can any long term users of Egrifta share their experiences? I appreciate it!

been with Egrifta for a few years... worked great for the first round..got back to slim ( not flabby) from a 36 to a 32..... lost Egrifta for 7 months ( not available) but have been back for 2 months now...starting to work Ok ... gone down from very hard watermelon bulge to getting softer from 36 to about 34.5 so will take a while according to DR works good for about 50% who do it... hoping to be back to my 32 by summer...
as long as you are one of the 50% should work for you the "soft" sage gradually levels out to whatever muscle you have there...remember this is the Internal hard fat that is being affected it is primarily under the muscle

just to follow up , I have been using Egrifta again now for another month getting noticeable shrinkage now... but have developed some "hard spots " where frequent injections were done.... be sure to move around the sites where you inject.. been using a "clock" lately to keep site to once a week use put four "dots " on stomach 12, 3, 6,9 o clock try to hit different hour each time you inject using the four as reference points
BTW needed 36" pants with a tight fit when started now down to easy 34...

Hey guys, I was on serostem for just a few months,before egrifta was approved It raised my blood sugar so much I had to take Metformin. I quit using it , because I didn't want to become a diabetic. My BS went back to normal in the normal range.
Anyone on egrifta have this happen ? I have had Lipo issues for years . Have a felling the side affect would be the same for me. Just wondering if anyone else had similar , side affects With egrifta ? Glad this is working is working for you Nick ! Good luck to you Mec !

I been trying to get my doc here in NC to get me on that. She will not let me. Is there any tips that you all did to get approved for it?
