FDA has identified an emerging trend where over-the-counter products, frequently represented as dietary supplements, contain hidden active ingredients that could be harmful. Consumers may unknowingly take products laced with varying quantities of approved prescription drug ingredients, controlled substances, and untested and unstudied pharmaceutically active ingredients. These deceptive products can harm you! Hidden ingredients are increasingly becoming a problem in products promoted for weight loss. Remember, FDA cannot test all products on the market that contain potentially harmful hidden ingredients. Enforcement actions and consumer advisories for tainted products only cover a small fraction of the tainted over-the-counter products on the market.

My weight loss story: Gastric bypass makes active life possible
I attend monthly support group meetings with other bariatric surgery patients with whom I have formed strong friendships. Through the support group, I have been able to get through the deaths of four very close family members since my surgery without gaining any weight. Before surgery, I would have gained 20 pounds easily after each death because of my food addiction and low self-esteem. Gastric bypass surgery gave me back my health, which in turn extended my life. It has not been an easy road to travel for the past 10 years, but it is one I would go down again without hesitation. share your journey Have you lost a significant amount of weight, or did you finally lose those stubborn last 10 pounds?
