Concerta

Chronic fatigue does not lend itself to weight loss. My crazy doc put me on concerta and ....wow... I have energy, I can exercise, I don't sleep all day. I dropped 38 lbs in 2 months. I used to hate my band. I've had it since Sept 2007. I lost 16 lbs at first but gained them back plus 5. I also started taking nicotinic acid and L-arginine before bed. A body builder friend of mine said it helps the body lose more fat than muscle. It also helps support connective tissue....like skin:thumbup:. Maybe it will help with the loosey goosey flappy junk that I know I have in my future. I can hope.

Have you ever had any fills? I am frankly very surprised to hear that you only lost 16 pounds and then gained back 21! What did your doctor say about that??

I have been banded for just 6 months and have lost 53 pounds....I've had 5 fills...and think I may finally be at my "sweet spot"!! Woo hoo!!

Good Luck with your new regimen!!
