I am 52, mother of four, grandmother of four, have 4 furbabies.....hmm seeing a pattern. lol My youngest has special needs so a lot of my energy goes to him. He is part of the reason I did this. My partner is a great source of support and I am hoping she may take the same steps soon, for her health.

Glad to hear he is on board. I have a friend whose doc also does not provide pain meds. CRAZY. I had the ON-Q pain pump and it was AMAZING!

GO YOU! I'm so glad you did this!

Thank you everyone for you thoughts. ❤
I have been in for my 3 month check up and have had anothe EGD done. They found that there was a small flap of scar tissue covering half the opening to the new attachment site of the intestines causing the pain as the food was passing through. They hv removed it and I am doing so much better now. I hv now lost 65lbs since surgery and 105lbs from the beginning Of this whole process. I'm so happy and much more healthy now.

I have taken omeprazole for years so my doc doubled my does after surgery just to be safe. The cough is definitely indicative of GERD or any type of reflux. get some OTC to try. if it helps then get your doc to prescribe it for you if ins will cover, as long term it can get pricey!

I had mine 12/11/18. I started the process in 2016 but my partner got sick and subsequently passed away so that put a halt to my plans for a bit. I am thrilled with my results. could not be happier.

Not full liquids but I did 2 shakes a day and one meal midday. usually a salad with Protein like chicken or tuna. I lost 9 lbs. for that two week period.

6 wks post op on Tuesday. have not had chicken yet but figuring to start out with a nice rotisserie chicken from Sam's. very soft and flavorful.

At age 52 my breasts are certainly beyond help LOL but I have noticed on my face, neck and chest I am starting to see the difference. a good firming cream should help. the nerium products have a riming cream that worked pretty well for me on my upper legs

I forgot to take measurements before all this got going. I could kick myself because I know it is more dramatic than what shows on my scale! Don't get me wrong, 31lbs in 5 weeks is amazing but my clothes are falling off! lol
