^^Our "ham cat" was pulling out the shovel this morning^^ Morning Gang. Half way there--whooo! I had a great day yesterday - I was able to work outdoors for most of the day and it was absolutely lovely, then the ball game was perfect weather. I'm a little disappointed about…
Queen JBGood Morning! I got nothing. Work was good. Gerd and allergies are less good. You know--the usual. But the weather is beautiful and it's going to be my first work-from-my-outdoor-office day 🙂 And we have a ball game tonight. Yay! QOTD: Do you have a favorite stand up comedian? I…

I already posted this over in one of the gastric bypass forums, but you all tend to have such good advice that I thought I would post here too. My mom had gastric bypass a few months ago. Her doctor wanted her to have it because she was Type 2…

Hi All: I haven't visited here in YEARS. Shame on me, I know. I am going Monday for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. The endoscopy is to determine if the acid in stomach has caused any issues. To explain, a few years ago, swallowing was becoming difficult. Maybe "uncomfortable" is a…

Hi y'all! I had a gastric sleeve in Mexico almost two years ago. Now I have reached my goal weight, almost. I'm 165 lbs. Should be about 150 lbs, so now I'm planning to lose those extra lbs by getting my lose skin removed. Needless to say, after losing like…
elsagfbmornin y’all! Happy Saturday! Not much going on today. It’s supposed to be in the mid 90’s today through Monday. Yuck, I hate this heat. We’ve been lucky so far though. There seems to be another issue with my mouth. The other side looks like it’s going to need the…

Hello, I have lost too much weight and have loose skin all over my body. I will need a tummy tuck, lipo arm lift and thigh lift. It seems like quite a bit of work. I am looking for a good surgeon at a reasonable price within Europe - any…

I had my VSG done on 6/26/23 and weighed myself today. I am up 8.5 lbs, messaged my doctor and they said to take a diuretic to see if it will help. I can feel how bloated I am in my stomach and legs. I am wondering if anyone else…

I had bariatric RnY in 2012. Did very well, in spite of not having a not so supportive husband. Went from 303 to 189, then had an injury. We moved from Iowa to my home state of Virginia. My husband eventually came around. His job as a software engineer eventually moved us…

Has anyone had to get IV iron infusion therapy recently? I can't seem to find a hospital near me. Is it true? This is no longer covered by OHIP?

Not sure if anyone is still around. I am about 16 years post op. Never made it to my goal weight of 150. I have stayed consistently between low 160's and 170's. Seems to be my sweet spot. No complaints. Far cry from 265 (pre op). Well if anyone is…

I had a sleeve revision in January. Original surgery was in February of 2016 and I maintained most of my weight loss. This surgery was to help lose additional weight to see if I can gain mobility and have future knee surgery. It's slow going. I don't weigh in as…

I have a background in healthcare and I was so impressed with the cleanliness and professionalism of everyone at Endobariatric. From the moment you arrive they cater to your every need, accommodations…
When I first met Dr. Ferzli, he was so welcoming, caring, and knowledgeable. He was very supportive of my decision to have weight loss surgery and I really appreciated that. He is a skillful and patient surgeon who strongly emphasizes aftercare. Every member of his team was so helpful too.…
