[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 417678, member: 4040"] This was with my primary care physician. My blood pressure has been getting higher, bit by bit, over my last six visits. Because of the higher blood pressure and the diabetes, my heart is enlarged. We went over the "you need to lose weight" thing, and I told him that I'm discouraged and desperate, because it seems like nothing works...that I'm so desperate to lose weight I'm considering bariatric surgery. I don't know what else to do. Dr is starting me on phentermine, says he has other patients that have had great success with it. Two months on, one month off, etc. I think if I can just get some momentum, I can continue, and of course, once my weight goes down, so does the diabetes/high blood pressure/high cholesterol/etc. If this doesn't work, the surgery is the next thing. I have my regularly scheduled appointment with the NP next week to discuss how well I'm managing my diabetes. Gotta get the blood work done tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
