Up until October  20, 2008, I was taking Phentermine to help me with my weight.  I did lose 18
lbs in three months, but I started having headaches, numbness in my legs (stoke symptoms) The pills are short term and not for everyone.  I found out when I went for my first medical visit, that my pulse was double the normal rate.  My co-workers were on the same pills and stopped, due to problems.   

I look forward to having my surgery in April, 2009.  In the morning, I will have my bone density, and fitness training appointment.  So, I will check after each appointment and let you all know my progress.

November 10 2008  BONE DENSITY TEST
Well, that went pretty well, just waiting to see what the results will show.   I know that I carry most of my weight in the upper and low torso area.  My weight was 261 lbs, so I know to watch it, since the Phentermine is gone.
