I have been banded since 12/29/2011 and I have lost a little over 60 pounds. I'm from the Johns Creek (Atlanta), GA area and I'm trying to find a doctor or clinic close to me that prescribes weight loss pills like phentermine or any others. Any suggestions or does anyone go any where near by? I'm not looking to take them for weight lose per sa just to give me a boost for about a month. I'm really struggling with energy.

in my opinion, weight loss pills are dangerous and therefore you should not take them as you do not need them.

if you need energy, eat more Protein and get more rest.

Do you take B12? I take sublingual tabs. Helps with energy

As a newly banded person, I am a little confused about this request... ????

As counterintuitive as it seems, exercise gives you more energy too!!!

You may be lacking in vitamin d. Get a blood test done to check for deficiencies before taking speed. It's hard on your heart and your heart is already stressed if u r eating 1200 calories or less. Just my thoughts......

Phentermine for weight loss is bad because the minute you stop taking it you gain all the weight back. Phentermine for fatigue is even worse and more dangerous. Phentermine is essentially speed and addictive.

If you're struggling with energy, you need to find the cause not make it worse by taking drugs. Vitamin deficiencies such as B12 and D3 can cause it. So can being anemic. Then there's all the many illnesses that cause fatigue. Or, it could be as simple as your diet needs to be healthier.

Plus, if you have real problem with fatigue, they do make medications specifically for fatigue.

Whatever the case and cause, you need to see your primary care doctor to find the cause not take an addictive drug.

Best wishes.
