Anyone Try The Rx Phentermine And The Band?



Recommended Posts

I was thinking of doing the Phen as well, but the truth is if your band is adjusted properly(when you're actually losing weight) there is no need for it. I lost 40 lbs in about 5 month with 3 consecutive visits to my surgeon and keeping a close eye to the volume of food I was eating. The moment I notice I was able to eat more, I would call and schedule an adjustment. So far, so good. I was stuck for very long time and now back to losing, I'm so happy :D

Phen gave me a heart murmur... not worth it to me.

okay I am confused here.. so you have a band but you're taking appetite supressors? Why did you get the band then if you could stay on diet pills and lose? I don't think chemicals will solve your problem.. If you have the band and it's adjusted correctly you should not need to take drugs.. I got the band so I would never have to take anything like that.. I went to a Dr. who prescribed the topomax, combo stuff and I thought I would jump out of my skin.. it was horrible. my regular Dr. had a fit when I heard about it.. too many dangerous side effects for me.. but, hey I'm just working my band and doing fine.. I refuse to go back to diet pills, diaretics, nutrisystem, jenny craig, hcg any of that ever again.
