Starting Over...with questions

[Hopeful in '09]

Little background, finally got my doc to agree to let me try Phen last year (February 2009), but he would only give prescription for 2 months. Worked great and lost about 15 pounds. Then had shoulder surgery in April and completely fell off the excercise & eat right wagon.

I just found out my cholesterol is over 300 and have started taking prescription meds to help bring it down. I am working on eating right and getting back into an excercise routine, but am not seeing any weight loss. I would really like to get back on Phen to drop some weight, but know my current doc won't do it so I am looking into a few weight loss clinics in my area.

I would love to hear experiences from anyone who is currently on Phen and also takes cholesterol lowering meds. Also, has anyone on the board used trulythinmd (online) to consult with doc and get prescriptions?

Thanks in advance.

I am on cholesterol lowering med and high blood pressure med. My GYN gave me Phen 37.5. I took it for 3 months, was off for 6 weeks, and am now back on it again. I have lost 45 lbs. I go to my cardiologist every 6 months and my GYN every week for progress reports and Lipotropic(not sure of the spelling) shots. Cholesterol and blood pressure checks have been good throughout. In fact, my cardiologist took me off one of my blood pressure meds because I didn't need it anymore because of the weight I had lost. Good luck.
