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'm 6'1 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's permission, I started cutting the dosage in half.  The medicine is still controlling hunger and I'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'm optimistic that I'll be at or near my goal."
