I still had to watch my food intake and I did exercise. I lost 40 pounds. I had to switch doctors and my new doctor refused to prescribe the Merida. I gained the weight back (but also was very stressed during this time due to fibro flares).
The new doctor said Merida caused damage to the heart. However, the dietian didn't have the same thoughts. The new doctor actually wanted me to do the Lap-Band surgery. So who knows???
