Hey, maybe someday you will be able to buy a home tongue stamper model for $ 19.99 from the kitchen section of Bed Bath and Beyond or from an As seen on TV store! Lol.

I think the premise of the diet, is that when you chew and swallow food, it inflicts excruciating pain.

Making it only possible to do a liquid diet...

Yeah, Can you say milkshake? :P

This made me laugh out loud!

I watched this today and was shocked at first. Then, I was thinking back to the years of being fat and remembering the desperation I felt and how I would do almost anything to lose the weight. Who knows I might have done something like that years ago. I may have even tried the feeding tube thing. As crazy as it sounds, and it those things do sound crazy to me, the desperation of wanting to be thin takes over and I can understand why they did it.

I was crazy enough to go to Mexico to have surgery!:)

Well' date=' I don't understand the logic, but maybe 'pattern-interruptus' works. Also a LOT of commercials on the east coast for something you swallow that swells up in your stomach so "you literally can't eat". Imagine what THAT would do to our sleeve -- EEK!!![/quote']

I think that's the full bar. I forgot to list those on the tried and failed diet techniques I used per-op. they didn't keep me full and they tasted like stale rice crispier with some other yucky stuff.

Why not just do the liquid diet without the patch?!?

For the same reason we got the sleeve to teach us how to control and form new eating habits. Do you see both are just different approaches to solving the same problem with eating too much?

Did anyone else wonder how gross it must be under that patch its taken off? Imagine all the yuck from the drinks that is stuck underneath the patch! I would think it would be an infection waiting to happen.

Right, but the patch gets removed after a month. They're not really comparable.

Just goes to show if you build a crazy contraption and say you'll lose weight, people will come and buy.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
