Well, I just had surgery a matter of 5 days ago. I have a new treadmil in my bedroom, and a full months supply of phentermine. I am on a mission to loose as much weight as possible before my family cruise and trip to south beach miami in July. We'll see what happens.

Hi -- I had some glands taken out of my arm-pits for treatment of hypo-hydrosis (big word for I sweat too much). I've had multiple glandular surgies over the past 10 years, so i'm a pro :gg:

I had my thyroid taken out about 13 years ago, and all of my weight dropped off and stayed off with no effort on my part up until 5 years ago. I stopped taking synthyroid around that time and I began to put on weight at a disturbing rate. Diet, personal trainers, or anything else tried didn't work, and now i'm the heaviest i've ever been in my life.

Over the years, I have fought with multiple doctors to put me back on synthyroid, but all tests show that my body doesn't need supplements anymore, 'cause i'm producing them on my own. Well, my patience has run out with carrying around my big-behind, so now i'm on phen.

I pray that this helps!
