Duromine

Had my gastric banding surgery in April this year I've lost 15 kilos but that's it my weight will not move I can get in to see my surgeon for another 2 weeks. So my friend told me about duromine and Is it safe to take duromine while having the gastric band or is it a no go?

Sorry I've never heard of it. So it looks like you posted this about two weeks ago. Did you decide to try it or wait for your doctor appt?

Yeah I decided to wait for my doctors appointment

Duromine is a tablet that makes you loose your appetite and makes your heart go really fast they say it's the same effect as speed but it's only prescription

Ah I've been considering taking my pre-surgery prescription diet meds too. The physician that supervised mg diet said that was ok and I could go back to her even with the band. I haven't confirmed with my surgeon so I haven't taken it either. I can't wait till my first fill.

Jan 27. She waits 6 weeks to make sure everything is healed. I also asked is she preloaded the band in surgery and she said no :(. I'm so hungry and starting to go over my calorie limits.

Oh that's normal I was like that when I had mine it will eventually go down, just stick to the diet plan they gave you. I'm on lite n easy the 1200 Calorie one love it I recommend it after your allowed to eat normal food.

Don't be afraid to ask your surgeon questions aswell they're there to help you in anyway possible :)
