  2. I ate a few small chunks of mango for my Thanksgiving appetizer last night. I felt so bad I ended up sleeping the entire meal away. Its a day later and I am still not over the dumping episode. Does anyone have any tips for recovery. What foods trigger dumping.
  3. Yes I had weekly appointments with my PA to resolve the issue. I finally had some relief it was massive.
  4. I didn't poo for 21 days. During the time I was on colace, dulcolax, and 2 enemas a day. When i finally pooped I felt amazing. Im still on lactolace and 2 enemas a week. Just to maintain some type of relief.
  5. Hi all I am 9 weeks post open and just completed an obstacle course 5k. I want to train for a Sparta Race with someone who understands the wls journey. Is there anyone in the Worcester Ma area that would be interested in working out regularly. Or if you have a work out group I would love to join

  7. I am 60 days out and I just finished a Diva Dash yesterday. It was extremely difficult but excellent training for the Sparta Race this November.

  9. I just spoke to my dr yesterday. He said this is common especially in women. He also said the increased sense of smell is a marker for long term success. Its a nice consolation for my husband who can't wear his cologne anymore.
  10. Thanks I just checked out this blog. It will be helpful since I start work next week.
  11. I had my surgery at Emerson in Concord on 7/7. TYou can ask your ins before you invest the money, they confirmed my insurance eligibility before I paid the 250.00 fee. In addition I had several long conversations with my insurance company before I signed up and I had the program coordinator confirm my financial contribution. All of this prior to my program fee.
  12. I second Junonia they design for active plus size women. Reinforcing the spots that need it and the shorts don't ride up your leg.

  14. @@leapyear i work closer to the Emerson hospital in Concord which made it was easier to manage appointments. Also I had tried to get surgery at Umass from 2007-2012 and it never worked out, the number of appointments and cost made it extremely difficult. At the time my insurance would have made it impossible to afford.

  18. Hi im in Wocester Ma and I had my RYN at Emerson with Dr Lautz on 7/7. Good luck everyone
  19. I am getting ready to return to work, what can I use as a caffeine substitute to help get me through the day.
  20. Hey guys I am currently suffering from extreme constipation. I haven't pooped since June. My dr has me doing a saline enema in the am and mineral oil enema in the evening. I had a little movement so far. But its better than being completely blocked.
