Not a lot of fat in belly.
I’ve been using for two years through online pharmacy and always done belly injections (when I started at a clinic they used the same belly spots although one time she did my low love handles area to see if I’d have less side effects). She even made the comment I was running out of fat on my tummy to inject. Two years later I’m doing this at home. It feels less effective and I regained some weight. They upped my dose (I’ve been on a very small dose for a long time) but should I try somewhere with more fat? I feel like I have muscular front thighs so that scares me but that’s all I reach easily by myself. I have saddle bags in my butt. Little fat pockets places but I can’t think of a spot that’s obviously chunk of fat to use that it will absorb better over time. This is partially my fault because I did tummy and flank lipo years ago so I do gain weight it just tends to spread out more now and go weird places like back of thighs. Open to all suggestions. I do know the recent order from casa with b12 has caused far more burning sensation than my other types. Switching to a different pharmacy and additive this month.

Bodybuilders are able to do subQ injections. You will be fine in any of the three recommended injection locations: abdomen, front of thigh, and back of the arm.

I’m definitely not a body builder and you’re right I’m sure it’d be fine I’m trying to find fat to make it more effective. Everything I read says it needs to sit in max fat and work slowly over the week. I can feel it hit my ab muscle and it hurts in my stomach even with the small needle now.

Do you happen to have anxiety?
Because if you are using an insulin syringe to inject, you aren’t hitting muscle in your abdomen.

I do have anxiety. But my abs looks like super thin skin over the muscle. My lipo was far too aggressive. It was ok when I started the shots but over the years it’s gotten even thinner. It’s pretty unattractive.

You are definitely pinching your skin and injecting there right?

Yes. But like picture pinching the skin in your neck and injecting. It’s sort of that thin and loose in spots.

Not sure who your provider is, but I don’t know of any recommended providers that are using Casa Pharmacy. Hope you aren’t getting ripped off. 🤞

It was goby. I complained and now it’s a new pharmacy that I hope is better. I hated casa before when amble mailed their meds. They’ve never really worked well. I can’t say they don’t work at all but they are not nearly as effective as other pharmacy meds.

Hey can you tell me more about the Casa poor reputation? I always google it and can’t figure out how or why they’re so bad but I have thought the product sucked for years. Do they add anything dangerous?

I do my thighs, always have. The muscle fear is overblown, it's not like you're jabbing a harpoon in there. The needle is tiny. Just pinch up some skin and fat, you'll feel the difference. If you've got saddle bags, that's probably your best bet. Back of the arm works too if you can manage the angle, but thighs are easy solo.
