I am 5 months post op and have lost 82 pounds. My big problem I'm having is I have several places around my abdominal area that feel like somebody stuck a knife in. It is not just on the front. It is the sides and towards the back. I'm thinking it is the skin and underlying tissue getting...

I'm glad you liked it. I live alone so I end up freezing most of what I make. Great for when I go to work. I grab a frozen soup / meal, a fruit cup and a bottle of water. If you get the mild jalapenos, the do not add that much of a kick.

I had mine done by Dr. Higa as ALSA medical in Fresno, CA. He is one of the pioneers in the the Gastric Bypass surgery. He is based out of Fresno, but he goes all over the world, teaching the procedure. They do their surgery out of Fresno Heart and Surgical Hospital. They are rated one of...

This may sound embarrassing, but my final straw was when I was on my toilet seat, cleaning up after doing my business, and I broke the seat when I leaned over to the side. Also, as a cop in a state hospital, running to a back up call and not being able to help because I was sucking all of the...

Same here. I got the Bypass in September of 2011. I also get hiccups.
