Hello Everyone,

I have a question... Has anyone taking Phentermine after weight loss surgery? I’m 2 year out and I’m considering getting some just to loose the extra weight and get to my goal. Because I have been stalled for 7 months. I just have 30 more pounds before I reach my goal. Thanks.

Jerricka, I am glad you decided to join us! My surgery is scheduled for Feb 8th with Dr. George Woodman from Memphis, TN. He comes highly recommended!

Hey, I did some research and I did see that he had really good reviews. Good luck on everything and keep in touch. Hopefully we can share some tips and other different things with each other. But the surgeon that I choose was Dr. Wegner. He has really good reviews as well. Are you paying out of pocket with Dr. Wooden or your insurance is paying for it?

I'm New. And I'm just sooo amazed by everyone's stories and different topic's. I'm so glad that I have found this! To make a long story short, I've been on the heavy side all my life. But this is the biggest I've ever been and I'm soooo over it. 330 pounds is my heaviest. I'm ready to loose this unwanted weight and keep it off and get healthy. I've been doing a lot of research on the Gastric Sleeve and I think that it is the best in my eyes. I have a close friend that had it done last year and she looks GREAT. I went to my seminar and filled out the application last week and I got a call Friday saying that my insurance would cover it and I knew they would because I work for a local hospital in my city. And I'm going to get it done at their weight loss facility. And she asked when did I want to set my appointment to meet with a surgeon to go over everything. Soo you guys I'm excited My appointment is February 6. She asked did I prefer a certain surgeon but I haven't done any research on the surgeons I've been doing so much research on the Gastric Sleeve itself. I'm from Memphis, Tn and are there any sleever's in Memphis? I'm having my surgery done at The center for surgical weight loss at St. Francis Hospital.
