My personal opinion is ephedrine is not a good idea. It makes my heart race.

DO NOT DO IT!!.. It may help a little with weight loss but the side effects are horrible it will cause crazy mood swings, raise your blood pressure give you heart palpitations and can cause heart attacks and is also very very addictive and many many other things.

I had a friend who had to go to rehab because he was so addicted to ephedrine.

Please just give yourself sometime to adjust to your new stomach and focus on getting in Water and Protein. The weight will come off.

It took some time to gain the weight and it will take time for it to come off.

Don't take ephedrine! It is really harmful. My aunt was hooked on it and ended up with an enlarged heart because of it. She also developed liver issues from prolonged use and now needs a transplant.

You will lose the weight if you have been sleeved. you need to be patient and just follow your doctor's instructions. You don't want to do something that may cause you to have a heart attack. Why is there a hurry to lose the weight? You don't want tp take anything or do anything that will put you at risk. The weight doesn't come off overnight. Perhaps you should go talk with a therapist if ou are thinking about taking this drug to see why you feel that way.

DO NOT USE EPHEDRINE. I took yellowjacket pills in the years of about 2000-2002 and was totally hooked on them because they contained ephedrine! it took me getting pregnant to stop using them! I was hooked on them and I'm VERY lucky that I didn't get heart problems or other issues. It caused me to feel cracked out, way hyper, and addictive. Trust me, it is NOT worth it! The weight loss from the sleeve is sufficient!

Sally, don't concentrate on skinny. You should be concentrating on healthy. This is not a short-term solution; it's forever. You will lose the weight, but you need to be healthy once you get to goal. The bonus is that you will get to live longer at the lower weight. If you work out and follow the recommended eating plan, you WILL get there and you will feel fantastic. What good is getting skinny if you lose your life over taking something to speed the process? Also, if you lose at a more natural rate, you'll have less issues with loose skin.

Good luck! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
