"i started taking belviq because i gained weight after my hysterotomy. a year later i was diagnosed with heart issues. the doctors put me on so many meds. it was horrible! i noticed the heavier i got, the worse my heart got. i was never considered overweight, but any extra weight you do, makes your heart work more. i saw a commercial on tv about this new medicine and asked my doctor about it. he said &quot;i&#039;m all for it!!&quot;. i&#039;m happy to say that after 6 months, i lost 25 pounds. i&#039;m no longer on any meds and feel great!! i felt bad the first 3 days. (headaches, tiredness) i&#039;m so glad that i stuck to it. it was the push my body needed!! i recommend this to anyone. what do you have to lose? i&#039;m so thankful to my doctor for giving me this chance!!!"
