My aunt has been using the Byetta pen and has lost over 60 lbs in the last 6 months or so. She gets nauseous from the drug and has occasional diahreeah (SP?).....I was interested in starting this drug, but I am worried about the side effects. Thanks for any info.

I've just been using it for a week (#5 dosage) and have only had very mild nausea a couple of times and none of the other potential side effects. It dropped my blood sugar from around an average of 250 to 200 so far. I think it actually has increased my appetite which is not a good thing.
Don't take it without medical supervision, it is not a wonder drug for weight loss, but it could kill you if not used properly.

Byetta is a product for diabetics only. First question, are you a diabetic? If not, then you probably won't be able to get it prescribed. I took it but it made me so sick I had to go in the hospital twice. I became horribly sick and vomited, became dehydrated and couldn't even hold my head up. Just know that Byetta isn't for everyone. It started out as lizard spit (from Gila Monster lizard) and since been made from synthetic products. Never knew if I took the real stuff or the new stuff.

#1in health all I know is they got the right stuff. I lost 47 pounds so far with out exersise or pills. Just eatten right with there products. Hope they help you out I just dont agree with taken pills

byetta is very well known as being the injection to help with weightloss because it DOES make you nauseous...it can't make her feel better after all the side effects that occur...i'd rather stop using byetta and lose weight by counting carbs...a nutritionist trained me to eat no more than 450 carbs in one day...60 for breakfast, 15 for a snack about 10 a.m. then 45 for lunch, another 15 for afternoon snack at about 3 p.m. and then another 45 for supper...sticking to that count, there is no way NOT to lose weight...
