I took Phentemine for 3 months and lost 35 pounds. However, as soon as I stopped taking it I was hungry ALL the time and gained it all back within a two month window. If you are able to do with out I would highly suggest that you do. It tricks your mind into thinking that you are not needing food, so alot of times you might need to eat even though you have no hunger pains. If you are able to take only half of a pill this way it is not so strong and you are using a little of your own will power. Good Luck!!

Anyone used Dr Ricardo Kelly?
svilla81 replied to QuincyGirl's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I have scheduled my surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly in TJ for the 19th of April. I have not found a lot of things about him on the web, but he has nothing but good review by previous patients. I have spoke to many of them and they are very reassuring that he will treat you like gold while in his care. I would like to mention that they price you quoted is for the surgery to be done in the clinic not the hospital. I personaly would pay the extra $800 or so to have the procedure done in the hospital it's state of the art. This way if anything happens (anything at all) such as an emergency they can meet your needs. While in a clinic they will need to wait for a ambulance to come and transport you, they don't have 911 like we do here in the states so they just get to you when they can. I frequent Mexico often, for medical care and they are just as educated as the doctors in the states. Many of the doctors do some schooling her in the states. I have had previous medical care in Mexico and they are just as good. I would be glad to let you know my experience when I am through it. I am very excited, and anxious for the skinny person with in me to break through agian. I hope this helps. -

Hello, my name is Sabrina and I am having sugery in TJ on April 19th. I wish it was sooner. All I do these days is eat,breath,& read about the lap band procedure. I am a mother of 7 his, mine and ours, as well as PTA President for my childrens school. I am a child care provider, and full time student. I have a fairly active life style and I have often felt as if I was a skinny person trapped in a fat persons body :thumbup: I feel that I can do many things but am limited due to my size. I look forward to being thing agian, and letting my husband who has never seen me thing see me as a beautiful woman that perhaps he can hug off the ground. I look forward to meeting new people who have or going to experience life as one who lives a "banded" life.
