Phendimetrazine. I'm down 5 pounds. Returned for 1 month follow up. Been hesitant about this process but blood pressure has remained steady, and I have felt good.

I realize portions had increased and frequency of "small snacks" had been adding calories. Lab results were very good but did show post menopausal - and there are hormonal issues that begin to affect the weight process. Especially inches gather in the abdomen area - which I had noticed but attributed to diet.

Overall - it is going well. He repeated meds for 1 more month, and I return 9/3.

That's what I've realized I did. Portions increased in meals and snacks. I don't snack to snack - but truly feel like I need it for fuel a couple of times a day. I am much more aware now and will stay focused about it.

Topic: RE: Lab band to sleeve revision

i had a band removed and six weeks later got VSG. I still get a little GERD but it is controllable if I don't drink coffee - small price to pay. I can't say enough how great VSG is. I would highly recommend it!!!

Topic: RE: weight loss

What do you think about using weight loss aids? Do you think it is worth it? I would like to hear your thoughts. I found some on Canada drugs direct, for example, and I would like to try those out soon. Maybe you can recommend something to me here, thank you in advance!

Topic: RE: Pain and wound care

Almost at the 6month mark. Lost 55 Lb.

Feeling good. I am walking 3+ miles in the morning followed by 10-20 min yoga.

Beginning to get that pouch or apron. Wonder if I will have loose hanging skin. So not right!

Topic: Burping - need help

Hi Guys,

Its been ages since I have been on here but I need help please. I noticed now that I am 8 years out...I am burping a lot. Is anyone else experiencing this? I barely drink carbonated stuff - maybe 1 a week. It is embarrassing and I am very discreet about it....but it is annoying. It happens everyday and I am not overeating or gulping.
