Weight Loss
"After dealing with weight issues my whole life, I decided to have the gastric balloon inserted on 11/21/17.  Lost about 50lbs.  Met my surgeon on 3/16/17 for my monthly check up.  We both decided to try the Phentermine as my weight loss plateaued.  Started on 3/17.  Between 3/17 and 3/21 lost another 7lbs. I&#039;m 6&#039;1 and down to 295lbs. My goal is to get to 245lbs.  The medicine did increase my HR and over the past several days, with my Doc&#039;s permission, I started cutting the dosage in half.  The medicine is still controlling hunger and I&#039;m on the treadmill 30 minutes a day with no HR issues.  Had no other side effects.  The balloon comes out in May and I&#039;m optimistic that I&#039;ll be at or near my goal."
