"i started adipex-p nine months ago and i&#039;ve consistently lost weight. when i weighed in at the dr.s today, i am down 20.6lbs since last month! i&#039;ve lost a total of 83lbs and was approved for my left knee replacement on nov 18. when that heals, we do the other one. i have battled obesity my whole life- had gastroplasty (stomach stapling) back in the early 80s and i&#039;ve lost and gained hundred pounds during  time periods in my life and i&#039;ve got hope now that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.  when i get my knee joints in and get active i think i really might be able to get down to a decent weight and make it stick. i&#039;d like a second chance at life, to find a wife to spend my retirement years with. staying positive!"
