I had a gastric band for about 7 years, and successfully lost about 150 pounds.  Felt terrific!  Slow and steady weight loss--cured my sleep apnea.  Two months ago, my port started coming through my skin--it got infected & had to be removed.  When I went back to have it replaced, surgeon said he not only could not replace the access port, but he had to remove the entire band due to infection.  Now I cannot get it replaced because I am now "normal" body weight.  Of course, I am gaining weight, and I am freaking out about it.  Asked my family MD for an appetite suppressant, and he flat refused, also because my BMI, while increasing, is still in normal parameters.  Took something many years ago (prescription only) starting with a "Ph..." that really helped me, gave me energy, and squashed my overeating.  Now looking online for it, after two bad batches out of India, I think I will try this Star... site--I believe they have what I need at a good price.  I am new to this forum, and I have already gotten some good feedback and tough love.  Best of luck to you all.  If you are reading this, you must have had some of the same struggles I have had.  If I could get the band replaced, I would do it in a heartbeat, but I know surgery is not for everyone.  Really, it is a last resort.  I have been taking a new over-the-counter med starting with "Ca..." with no real appreciable results.  Any advice always appreciated by this newbie.

  2. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: That’s funny people are mentioning the klepomanazepam phenomenon. I was actually briefly in some sort of patient data study on this, but was not recruited as I don’t experience amnesia or episodic antisocial, impulsive-behavioral disordered tendencies and out of character crime sprees. They just dent the tremendous suffering that’s underscored my life and I had a few years of true reprieve before tolerance began to return the old way of “it’s always a catastrophe” with “plus, benzo habit” lol!
  3. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: @Bodix lol glad it isn’t just me. And yes I did unfortunately drive backwards down the front of the airport (one way). Thank the security guard looked past my error and my droopy face and kindly asked me to turn around. Lmao easily could’ve ended up in jail

  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: Like the old joke “I’m allergic to benzos every time I take em I break out in handcuffs” heh heh
  8. Bodix @ Bodix: @Realbenzeyes, I knew a chick that would pop half a bar and rob you but off them like you wouldn’t take a stick of gum it’s because benzos especially strong doses take away the part of your brain that thinks of the consequences
  9. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: No clue why but kpins make me steal and get shitty everytime. This is coming from a guy who wouldn’t steal a candy bar from the store. I’m way too scared to steal from stores but those fkers get me everytime. (Usually a drink, food etc) nothing major. Just dumb shit
  10. Bodix @ Bodix: @army13$ I bought 10 grams of clam in 21 and did the most stupid shit over than time I was taking atleast 5mg at a time and I remember barely remember most of it I fail in the show and broke my ribs, fell asleep nightly in my food so I started mixing it with 4c and that was not a smart move I wanted to fight everyone
  11. Bodix @ Bodix: The tv benzos are so much weaker and safer than my on and off again relapses of rcs from 21-23 years ago I would of already by now either got fired or arrested and total amnesia that doesn’t exist anymore which is probably a good thing
  12. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: who knows, maybe some chemical companies will open back up down the road, be patient.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Will SR be back eventually or y’all think it’s dead and gone. I truly hope not. Kicking myself hard for not getting some before it disappeared taking it’s availability for granted 🤦
