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…

So, Ive set my second mini goal. I want to get to 260.0 by the end of June. I've got 3.4 pounds to lose next month. I know that's not much but, I'm a slow loser. I haven't been 260 roughly 13 years.

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?

I started my bariatric surgery journey with Dr Jon Pirrello in 2021. He removed my lap band that was put in in 2003. I was such a mess inside. The lap band had slipped up off from the stomach area and was attached to my esophagus, my spleen and the…
