Phentermine is only supposed to be used for about 3 months at a time. Almost everyone who uses phentermine gets tachyphylaxis which means your body gets used to it and it doesn't work anymore. It can raise your blood pressure and cause insomnia.

NSAIDs, even if they are liquid or injections can still cause ulcers, so you still have to be careful. They block COX, (this relieves the pain) COX also protects your stomach from stomach acid.

I am scheduled for Aug 22. I am really excited!:clap2:

I just found out today that I will be having my surgery on August 22!!! I am so excited!:clap2:

I found the thread, but I can't pull up the websites.

Hey guys, I know I am from Oklahoma, but I am trying to find a doctor close to me that charges a reasonable amount. In my area it is around $20,000. I was reading a thread by some people about a surgeon at Tallgrass that does them for $10,500. I can't find the tread anymore. Does anyone know anything about that clinic or the doctor. I would appreciate any info you guys have. Thanks, Aubrey

It costs $9500 in Denver. I was worried about what would happen about the fills. Thanks for the info. Aubrey

Any of you use Dr. Katsis. I have my educational meeting on July 2 with Dr. Katsis and Dr. Fisher. I will be self-pay. I am trying to find out how much they charge because I am trying to decide if I want to go to Denver for the surgery. I haven't had much luck with their business office. They tell me they will go over all of that at the educational meeting. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thank you for the answers!

I have been reading some of the posts and it sounds like you cannot drink Diet soda anymore. Is that true. I have a consultation on July 2 so I haven't be able to ask any questions yet.:phanvan

Hi everyone! I am Aubrey from Tulsa, OK. I have my first consultation on July 2. Anyone here used any docs in Tulsa. Trying to find out how much it will cost because I am self-pay. After reading this site, I am tempted to go to Dr. K in Denver.

I am hopefully having my surgery in the middle of August. Good Luck!!!
