Prescription Appetite Supressant And Band



Recommended Posts

I went in for my fill today lost 6 lbs from my last visit a month ago which I thought was fine. The aprn who does the fills comes in and says she wants me to lose faster and gave me a prescription for adipex I'm just a little confused I paid to have this surgery so I don't have to do things like this but here I am at cvs waiting for my prescription I have to go back to the Dr in two weeks for a follow up she also gave me a fill too. Did this happen to anyone else out there????

that is one of my fears. I have tried to take Apidex before and hated the way it made me feel. I would go a mile a minuted during the day and I would crash in the evenings. My kids hated me on it as well...boy was I crabby.

I don't know...I would think the lapband with the proper fill is where the weight is supposed to come off from. I too got the band to stop with all the other garbage. I sweated like a pig the whole time I was taking adipex. I think I would cry if the dr. suggested this to me. I don't think I would do it. Call your doc and tell them how you feel about this.

I would wait to talk to your Dr in two weeks. Six pounds in a month is great! Plus you got a fill so that may speed up your weight loss.

Personally... I would NOT take any pills for weight loss. But that is me.

Congrats on your weight loss.

Thanks for the advice I got the prescription which was not covered by my insurance ::rolls eyes:: I'm going to give it the college try for two weeks and if I feel like crap I'm going to stop. My overall health is way more important than the aprn seeing a fast weight loss.....if I wanted to lose weight fast I would've had a different surgery.

Keep your fingers crossed for me :)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
