Hi everyone.
Could I ask if anyone who has had a bowel resection has any information on taking injectable weight loss drugs (in my case Mounjaro). I have had 2 starting doses so far with a couple of episodes of mild stomach cramps over 2 weeks. I've read that these will subside over time but I would think that would be for people who haven't had bowel cancer. I will speak to my colorectal team at some point but if anyone in my position has direct personal experience I would love to read your thoughts.
Thank you.
Colin.
Hi Colin
I am sorry to hear that you have been having some tummy cramps with your weight loss drugs.
I do think checking with your colorectal team would be the best plan. The main thing is that any doctor involved in your care is kept informed or any issues.
You could also give the Support Line a call and talk to one of the nurses who may be able to give you some more information on this.
I did a search on the weight loss medication you are taking on here and it didn't really show much, so it may be that people who have tried it have not posted on here about it.
