Has anyone tried acupuncture and did you feel it worked? I am thinking about trying it just to see insurance pays for it so I figure why not? Just wondering what others had experienced. I have been in a big rut with the weight loss and I know I am not as tight as I shoud be and my 3rd fill is not until March 15th. I think I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and see if he will let me in any sooner. I can eat everything and I am tried of trying to eat small amounts and still filling full. I have done fairly well to keep control over my food...I haven't gained any weight. I am trying to get back to where I was in the beginning when I was totally grooving and not eatting any of the food around the house that I shouldn't. Not that I deprived I had my treats and such but I live with family and they cook with butter, red meat, pasta, etc. They are down falls because before I know it I have eatten way more than I wanted too. Especially since I was not going to eat their food I was going to eat food that would go along with my diet. I then figure the day has gone to crap and I might as well eat whatever because it is already shot.(I know I am not the only one that feels this way so if you do how do you get past it?) I try to get home after they have finished eatting so there isn't anything left or I don't go around when they are eatting. I am so frustrated and I am not defeated but I don't know how to pick back up again. This the point in the past where the weight would come back on. So Help I need it badly any advice on how to work past these issues would be great. Thanks!

I have not used accupuncture for weight loss, but I have used it for pain management.. It is a wonderful thing ..

See a traditional accupuncturist.. Mine trained in Asia.. I have also tried the "electronic" accupuncture .. Once was

enough. I will NEVER let them do that again.

unfortunately , our insurance does not pay for lap band , accupuncture, eyeglasses etc ... PITA !!!!

I've been thinking about going to one myself for weight and stress. I have a friend here that swears by it, but I've love to hear from more people with experience.

I've used acupuncture in conjunction with trying to conceive. Do I think it helped? Maybe. Did I get pregnant? No. But it, along with all the other things I did, help me develop three eggs which we were able to retrieve and inseminate and grow into beautiful embryos. I just wasn't lucky that time.

My acupuncturist has said it can be used for weight loss (as well as a host of other issues) but I've not used it for that.

Shop around. If your insurance doesn't cover it, you may be able to find a package deal for cash price that is affordable.
