Has anyone been perscribed this on their six month or from their pcp?

I was and have never been keen on taking any kind of pills other than Vitamins. I took them for a few day and seemed a little off. Thought I should finish them off up until my 14 day pre-op diet to see if I can even lose a few before then.

Also if you took them. For how long and did you lose anything?

I took that about 7 years ago and it helped me lose about 50 lbs but the side effects were uncomfortable. And if I knew then what I do now, I wouldn't have taken it. It's not good for your heart. Most docs wont prescribe it. And don't get it online! You can't guarantee it's not just Tylenol or sugar pils!

I took meridia a few years back and it worked great - lol I could not eat anything. Insurance stopped covering it and price went to $90 a bottle per month. Most of the time, these medications always end up on the recall list. :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
