Dont know what to do
Hi, everyone I have only posted a few times on here I don’t know what’s going on I had gastric bypass surgery July 13 2004 day of surgery I was at 252 I had started losing weight then I got pregnant about 3 mos postop I went down to 150 after I had my daughter I had another baby on Aug 27 2007 I went up to 183 but as soon as I had my baby I went back down to about 153 now all of a sudden I keep on gaining weight I told my doctor that I am eating to get fool but around 10to 15 minutes later I feel hungry again. How do I ask my doctor about a revision he wants to put me on diet pills which sucks because they never worked for me before and I feel I really need to lose weight I only have one kidney and my sister is on dialysis and she only 26 a year younger then me any suggestion how I could ask my doctor I forgot to mention I am 5’3 and almost 5 pounds shy of 200
I know you can get it done via self pay but I'm not sure ins will cover.
I agree with you about diet pills. They are not safe, they don't work, and as soon as you build a tolerance to them or stop taking them weight comes right back.
With that said there is a drug that is not a typical diet pill. You take it once daily and it cuts your appetite. I don't know if it is approved in the US or not, no clue. I took them a long time ago before I was banded and I got them from my GP in Mexico. It's called Ectiva 15mg, you take one daily at 11AM. I had forgotten about them until I was cleaning out my bathroom cupboards and ran across them yesterday. It's not a long term fix but might be a good short term fix. They were kind of expensive, 750 pesos ($70 USD) for a 15 day supply, that was about 2.5 years ago. But they do work. It's not a stimulant... it's different.
Please understand, I did do research on this drug a long time ago but no longer remember what I read. I was desperate and willing to try anything.
