So before i had surgery i tried phentrimine and it helped a little. But i keep hearing about contrave. Never tried it.

Has anyone tried both?? Or even one or the other. Did it help you? Did you have any side effects?

I took Contrave. The dose is 2 pills twice daily but I only took 1 twice a day. It worked great, I had no side effects. I lost 30 pounds. It is very expensive though. My insurance didn't cover, with the manufacturer drug card it is $92 for a bottle of 120.

Considering drugs is what led me down the WLS path. The side effects can be pretty bad, but I was desperate. I decided on the VSG because I know once you stop taking the drugs, the hunger comes back.

Now that I've had VSG, I guess the same thing applies. I still want the bad stuff, and I can still ruin my progress. ?

Why would you take drugs after you had a surgery that removed 80% of your stomach??

I previously did Phentermine and it worked in conjunction with a hcg and b12 shot. I lost 50 lbs but the one side effect i had was memory loss and i had to stay on top of it by always working my brain muscle.

I took Contrave before surgery but it didn't work for me.

I took both. Phentermine put me in afib and the other made me sick.

I took Contrave and it worked great. Unfortunately it had a negative effect on my periods so I had to stop taking it and the weight came back in the blink of an eye. I also tried phentermine, but it made my heart beat so fast that I couldn't keep taking it. I have had great results with my vsg and no negative side effects or drugs in my system. Win-win.
