You will never know how it will work until you open the doors. I think its a cute idea. Lily

Congratulations on losing all that weight. You look amazing! Lily

There has been problems with patients that have had RNY gastric bypass with absorption of calcium as the duodenum is bypassed. But what studies found was that if these patients took calcium citrate supplements they were able to absorb it better than calcium carbonate. The sleeve does not bypass the duodenum therefore there should not be any problems with absorption. But you could always take the calcium citrate supplements if there was a worry. Check springerlink there are studies done on this subject. Lily

I think I heard they were titanium and that I have not heard of people being allergic to it. That is why it is used. Lily

Your pictures are awesome! Cant wait to see more update pictures! Lily

Keep up the great work! You are looking awesome! Lily

Thank you for your advice. When I am sleeved I will try to remember to take it easy at first and sip, sip, sip. Lily

I was asked to make another appointment to discuss my problems. I think they will be helpful in the mental long run. Lily

Denise, I am penciled in for February so far as that is when I get my vacation. So I will be a month behind you. Lily

October 18 is really not that far away. I can not wait to join you and all the rest on the losers bench. Lily

I am penciled in for the New Year 2011. I hate having to wait but I know it will be worth it. Lily

Maybe you are losing fat and gaining muscle? As muscle is heavier than fat.. That is all I can think is happening. I would suggest staying the course and see what happens. Lily

Looking good!

That is good news! keep it coming Lily

I had to take it before a different surgery and I had to drink a specific amount every hour. I found that within 5 -10 mins of drinking it I had to go to the washroom. Then I would wait for the next hour and take the next amount and then within 5 to 10 mins would go to the bathroom. As the day was getting on my tummy started to make noise and I felt that I had to go to the bathroom more often. This was a long time ago so I do not fully remember but when I had the feeling to go I had to get to the bathroom. Probably best to see if you can arrange for someone else to pick up your friend. Lily

Congratulations!! I dream of the day I will be in onederland. Keep up the great work. Lily

Yahhhhh I have been anxiously waiting for your next update. You and your hubby are doing wonderful. I was even thinking the comparison between your before and your 4 month pic you look taller now. Or is it you are just standing straighter? Amazing update keep them coming. Lily

Ozzy how long ago did your mom have the surgery? And as time goes on is she noticing the skin tightening up? Lily

You will do great! Waiting to hear how it went for you. Lily

I can relate about the saving a pair or jeans to fit into. I am waiting patiently for my sleeve so that I can join the loosers bench and experience all the great highs everyone is posting about! Congratulations!!

Looking good and Getting closer to goal!

Blackberry were your sutures dissolvable ones or did you have your doctor here remove them? Lily

Congratulations on making it to the losers bench. Lily
