Anyone Try The Rx Phentermine And The Band?



Recommended Posts

I was thinking of doing the Phen as well, but the truth is if your band is adjusted properly(when you're actually losing weight) there is no need for it. I lost 40 lbs in about 5 month with 3 consecutive visits to my surgeon and keeping a close eye to the volume of food I was eating. The moment I notice I was able to eat more, I would call and schedule an adjustment. So far, so good. I was stuck for very long time and now back to losing, I'm so happy :D

Phen gave me a heart murmur... not worth it to me.

okay I am confused here.. so you have a band but you're taking appetite supressors? Why did you get the band then if you could stay on diet pills and lose? I don't think chemicals will solve your problem.. If you have the band and it's adjusted correctly you should not need to take drugs.. I got the band so I would never have to take anything like that.. I went to a Dr. who prescribed the topomax, combo stuff and I thought I would jump out of my skin.. it was horrible. my regular Dr. had a fit when I heard about it.. too many dangerous side effects for me.. but, hey I'm just working my band and doing fine.. I refuse to go back to diet pills, diaretics, nutrisystem, jenny craig, hcg any of that ever again.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
