Options???

I was just wondering if there are any new prescription meds that have shown any promise? Prior to the RNY I tried redux and xenical, and years ago fen/phen. I have been doing research on Accomplia and that sounds promising. I guess I am checking out what assistance is out there for people who have had the surgery who are experiencing gain. Thank you

I tried merridian about 7 years ago, lost about 15 lbs. in 3 weeks and shot my BP up to 296/125. Been on BP meds ever since. I have read about accomplia, don't think it's out yet, is it? Does sound promising. Peggy

Sorry, I don't have any good info on WL meds. How much have you regained? Have you considered a revision? Good luck in your search. Kim

I have regained about 40lbs. The weight seems to have come back more so in my hips, lower abdomin and waist. I don't know if that makes a difference, It just worries me. I am back in the clothes that I wore when I was pushing my max. Its so very depressing. I have been asked about revisions, I am not sure what my options are with that either. The big thing is that my insurance co. paid for the RNY at the time. Even though, I am no longer at the same employer w/the same insurance. I wonder how insurance co's are about paying for revisions. I need to find something soon, I'm getting married in Sept 2007. I already have my gown I hope I will be able to wear it when the time comes. Thanks, Kim

If you don't mind your heart jumping out of your chest and going outside of ohio to get it prescribed.... Adipex works wonders, but I feel as if it is crack in a legal form. (doctor's in ohio don't seem to prescribe it!)

Ah, the brand name of phentermine. I remember that. Way back in the day, it was part of a duo phen/fen. That unfortunately got pulled off the market. For those who had heart problems, the combo wasn't a good thing. When I was on it, it was wonderful. I wasn't ever hungry, never even thought about food. I had lost over 70lbs during the time I was on it. Of course, that has since been regained. I think I could benefit from an appetite suppressant, and of course something to speed up my metabolism. Also, the next time around, I think I would benefit from some behavior modification. Amanda, one thing I can honestly tell you is, after you have your surgery follow everything to a "T". I got caught up in the fact I couldn't eat as much as I used to, but I ended up still eating some bad things. That unfortunately came back to haunt me. Good luck, and take care.
