Foolsrushin722.. When I set up my ticker it asked if I wanted a shortcut on my desk top,,,I said yes...I also got a login and password.

Now I just click on it...I put in my password and then...update ticker...if you can't get it working then do a new one and be sure to set up the shortcut???

Good Job By the way...I wish my firts fill was scheduled sooner tooo! I have them preset at 7 weeks then 3 or 4 then so on??

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that indeed there is a trial study around the country, I'm in chicago and i got banded 2 months ago and my bmi was 34.5% and i didnt have any other complications, what i do have to do as part of the study is see my doctor every month for the next 3 years as well as a dietician and i have an on call nurse incase of any problems, i know here in chicago there was a group of 30 with only 3 guys taking part of this study

hope to hear from anyone else taking part of a study

I would have loved to take part in a trial. I rather have 17,000 dollars in my bank than in my stomach. As stupid as it sounds I wanted this so bad, I had to gain like 10 pounds just to get to a BMI of 35. I have been on the obesity roller coaster most of my adult life.

Hi Julio! Our study last for 5 years. I wonder if it is the same one. We start getting paid after the first year. Not a lot. Something like $50 a visit or something. We have 30 people in Memphis also and I think there are 4 guys in this one. One of them is my hairdresser! LOL! I get free hair cuts for the rest of my life for getting him in!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
