Januvia and 7 months

Has anyone experienced excessive weight gain using Januvia? About 13 months ago I started taking J. and I've not lost any weight since that time. I had Lap-band surgery 19 months ago lost 58 lbs the first 7 months, started the Januvia, had what I thought was Lap-band problems, gained a few pounds and the few pounds are now a plus 40. I've spoken to a pharmacist and he says there cannot be any connection to Januvia, however I've begun to question Januvia as the advertisements on TV state that Januvia has not been tested with insulin and I'm taking Lantus at night and Januvia in AM. Januvia can be used with insulin at the description of the Doctor???? I'm very concerned about myself and Januvia. Any comments 2bears

I have been taking Januvia for about 7 months now. Had to get off Avandia (another story). My levels are better and have lost weight. But, recently started getting a facial rash on both sides of the nose and have noticed some trouble swallowing at night when I lay down.

I have been taking Januvia for the past 7 months. I have noticed little change in my blood sugar levels. However, my hair has thinned drastically! I have stopped taking Januvia and hope the hair loss is reversible.

I hve been on Januvia for 5 weeks, after not being able to tolerate Metformin. I have noticed a great thinning of my hair. Other than that I haven't felt better. Is hair loss a side effect?
