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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
