I was wondering,is this something that you get from the band doctor or your regular physician? What are the brand names? I remember taking Tenuate and Ionamin years ago but don't know if they were phentermine.

I took phentermine in the past as well. I will never do that again. They made me very jittery, irritable, my heart was constantly racing and my mouth was always feeling like it was full of cotton. Meridia did the same thing to me. No thank you, that is why I have the band, to live my life without diet pills and dieting.

Hi Susan I totally agree with you. The phentermine did the same thing to me and I will never go there again as well. I had gotten the band to get away from all that diet stuff as well and it feels real good to finally be off all that stuff.

I did take Phentermine for 3 weeks to get off of a plateau... I got off of it and ALL the weight came back on! The Dr. had told me that Phentermine + the band was safe, no weight gain when you get off of it but I put mine back on. 6lbs off in 3 weeks and then only 5 days to put all 6lbs back on.

      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! 😞
