obesity
"I went to my doctor and heard the words "obese".  It was a huge wake up call for me. I tried a weight loss program,the Adkins diet, weight watchers and when all of those failed, I consulted with a bariatric surgeon. On my first physical for the surgery, he said "let's try contrave and if this doesn't help, we will proceed with preparing for the surgery. That was on June 28th at 5'2 , 205 lbs. Today, August 27th, I weigh 164 lbs. My personal goal is 150 lbs. After that, my doctors, nutritionist and I will evaluate where to go from there. Contrave has changed my life. I've had no side effects and my appetite has reduced drastically. I love to exercise now and love fresh fruit. I will never be able to thank my prescribing doctor enough."
