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.

  6. R @ Royboy99: Honestly the greatest medication I’ve trialed
  7. R @ Royboy99: And it’s not like I’m geeked out crazy looking or acting , just happy, confident , loving life, productive af, greatest nootropic I’ve experienced
  8. R @ Royboy99: Man I really love these misters I make , it takes my day that’s at a 2 and cranks it up to at least a 9… with sustained reups as needed … if only this was fda approved med lol, make my life so much easier
  9. C @ ClintEastwood: Well I got burned on my first buy. It stral sucks the guy has sole things in stock. But definitely what I ordered and I thought he was honest because I asked for something very close to it and i said what about that one. Yeah I got it. And the comms were wired and he was really wanting me to make his forum board look better. Now I know the first thing to look at even before the menu. But I have some business with usps tomorrow and will ask for everything mailed to me especially packages
  10. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: Policies have changed and i would behoove everyone to due their due diligence and go have a look. The guidelines from 5-10 years ago dont apply. And rules, regulations and laws may not either, i mean do you see anyone giving 2 sh1tz about the C0n$tituti@n recently?
  11. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @rasetreydir, yeah those are good af too
  12. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @Ross7223, they should boycott pre-paid p0stage
  13. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @Gulp2788, no they do not as of sept 25, u cant assume everything is the same, or anything for that matter. Its a brave new A-1 world folks.
  14. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: My milage has differed to yours though, I've found them incredibly reliable with their tracking and 3 day delivery is pretty accurate.
  15. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I agree but U5PS has to go through a legal process to search packages. Private companies can open your mail at their discretion.
  16. Ross7223 @ Ross7223: @Gulp2788 because they always lose pckgs, track1ng is never right, never is 3 day deliv3ry like they say
  17. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @Ross7223 From my understanding that's actually counter-productive, but maybe you know something I don't. Why do you say that?
  18. Ross7223 @ Ross7223: Vendor$ should boycott U5P5, they are terrible!
  19. Thoth @ Thoth: Happy Weekend! Let’s Get It!!!
  20. cannedgoods @ cannedgoods: Happy Weekend everybody! cheers!
