any reason you went with GB rather than the Lap Band?
In my research the GB seems to have better long lasting results. The risks are higher but the rewards seem better. The lap-band is strictly a 'restrictive' procedure where the GB is both restrictive and has a malabsorption component to it.

Did it ever occur to you that they change it because of the problems some are having with the formula.
And most of these products aren't endorsed by the FDA. Look on the label.
Also, most of the time, no scientific studies are done on these products either. I find that problematic as a health professional.
And most of these 'remedies' have nothing to do with pharmaceutical companies. Anyone can come up with and sell a 'formula' and claim whatever they want to claim.
There are lots of foods you can eat that will give you increased energy naturally.
Here's what I know. ALL drugs have side effects and most are NOT good.
It is a bunch of hype to try and make a few to be spotlighted that work for a lot of people.
Asprin can and has killed, but it would be stupid to take it off the market, when they are many more than benefit from it.
My sister is a pharmactucial tech. She told me of a drug that got pulled off the market due to killing people. Two years later the SAME drug was put back on the market under a different name. Had to be pulled again for same reason.
I'm sorry, but I don't trust the FDA anymore than I do a lot of other government agencies that has big companies with their hands in their pockets.
Protein, protein, protein. Actually beef jerky and nuts-especially almonds.
Hospitals are a tough place to work and lose weight.
I don't like beef jerky and nuts are getting old.....LOL!
I have tried the protein enhanced snack bars...those are nasty and too much sugar. Stuff that is really sweet I can't handle anymore since I rarely eat sweets.
I like eating meat, so I get a sandwich and trim off most of the bread. I also go to Subway and get a turkey and bacon wrap.
I try to do what I can, but I'm always looking for new ideas since current ones get old quick.

But I would trust the FDA more than an individual who cooked up something in their kitchen and decided to sell it under a 'cool' catchy name.....
I rarely take meds. I have difficulty just taking the vitamins that I should be taking every day. I just found out that I'm Vit D deficient and now have to take Vit D for 12 weeks and be tested again. Ugh.
I don't even take Tylenol or ibuprofen unless I'm in extreme pain.

Well of course I agree with you on that.
But most of these are in big companies same as the manufacturers of drugs.

I hate those protein bars too. My main vice is coffee. LOTS of strong coffee.

Ok I get a call from my mother today telling me about her nephew who has lost 50 lbs .... I call his wife and talk to her and she loves the products.
This is my question... it appears to be a big seller in churchs right now so anyone taken any of these products and how did they work for you? or are they just like everything else a waste of money and time?

Never heard of these, want some suggestion try a lifestyle change, like exercising eating right, make these things a daily habit. Diets never work, there is no magic pill, if you want to stay fit and trim, get off your butt and work that body, it’s that simple. And the real kicker, it cost you nothing, but time.
Since l have gotten old I need to lose some weight.
