How To Reduce Weight?
I am overweight and have tried everything, changing eating habits, exercise, diet. At one point I seen a bariatric Doctor which has been about 10 years ago and he had me on phentermine and a water pill and a potassium pill. This worked and I felt great and had the most energy and was the happiest I had been in years. This Doctor has since moved on to another clinic and I just dont know where to go to get help. When he was here I lost about 40 pounds and felt great. In the time since many things have changed in my life. Job changes family changes. I was wondering how to go about finding another physician. I have even tried the programs at the gym but all I end up doing is getting hurt. I just ended up with a stress fracture on my ankle from walking on the treadmill.

Thanks for asking in healthcare magic forum
In short: Any bariatric surgeon can help you
Explanation: You have not mentioned your age, sex, height and weight in your question. As you had taken so many treatment to reduce weight I think you are obese.
SOmetimes, it is extremely difficult to reduce weight in some people with diet and exercise alone. This may be because of their basal metabolic rate and genetics. In such cases usually bariatric surgery will definitely help.
So, you can visit any bariatric surgeon for your problem. No need to get disheartened.
Good luck
