Okay, this is for real. Funnyduddies was telling us all that she recently did a colon blow. I just ordered the stuff & can't wait for it to come in. :rolleyes

I have heard that cleaning out the colon is the best thing you can do to jump start your weight loss. I have been on a plateau for 7 weeks now & I am sick of it!! I've been told by a naturepath (sp?) that the sludge that's hiding in my colon is what's keeping me from losing the weight. So, I'm gonna clean out the "crap" & see how it goes.

Anyone want to join me? Go to www.colonblow.com to order your stuff.

I'll report back to let you know how it all comes out!! HA!! LITERALLY!!! :D :biggrin1: :D :biggrin1:

Hey Funny, you are welcome to jump in here at any time. Tell us all about your experience!!! :D

I don't think I need to know how it comes out "literally". :D Is this the same thing as the colon cleanse that there was so much discussion over about a month ago?

Well, just before I was banded I had a colonoscopy. That was quite the colonblow! Since they send that scope wwwaaaayyyy up you gotta be clean, clean, clean.

So I will pass on the invitation.

But I do give you major props for one of the most interesting thread titles I have ever seen. Possibly only second to my own "I need a pen to write on my boobs" thread.

Have fun!

Dianechef, you pulled me in with the thread title now you have to let us know how bad it is. From the name of the product I hope there is only a small amount of truth in advertising. Good luck!!

Ok, where is Funny? I don't know why, and I am a little scared, but I want to hear how this works. Is this something you take one time and everything "blows" out, or is it a process that takes place over several days or longer. If one were to try this, do you need to plan on staying close to home for a few days.

I get mine from Bullwrinkle.com and it is just called colon cleanse...the BLOW blows my mind. Hey, I attribute it to having absolutely no gas pains after surgery for what that's worth.

Wait, I promised I think I wouldn't touch this subject again....I think I did...I think I did.

ok...here it goes.

i took it around 11am, and did not have the first "realease" until about 9am the next day. it was...um...a lot. then i had to go about 2 hours later. and then another 2 hours later.

i didn't have to run to the toilet. i didn't feel like i was going to have an accident. and i did not get any stomach pains. I lost 2 pounds in the process.

I thought it was the experimental gas suction study your surgeon was participating in?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
