    Would it be better to crush calcium?

    I prefer Solgar liquid calcium. Comes with a bit of magnesium and Vit D and tastes great. Sold through Amazon

    Anybody hear of Dr Sariñana in Mexico?

    I think it's all about setting up the conversation before hsving it. If you gently explained to her that you cared about her, and wanted to talk to her about something but feared offending her, most people would respond favorably to that. I agree, it's always a risk trying to talk to someone...

    Chevtow progress report

    You're looking great Chev! Have you hit/exceeded your target weight? Any problems? How about loose skin? I was pleasantly surprised I didn't have as much as I expected. Some loose upper arms and a panni, but not the stuff I've seen on you tube. I still struggle somewhat to keep weight on...but...

    Medical Tourism Insurence Questions

    I went to Mexico with the late Dr. Aceves in 2014. Dr. Esquerra has now taken over that practice and follows the same path of excellence. You'll be in good hands! I chose not to have my GB out and have had zero problems with it. But just so you know, a person having surgery on the same day as me...

    FDA approves medically-assisted bulimia device

    I think it's a stupid idea and one as craven as it could be. It's selling people on the dream: You really can eat whatever you want, whenever you want, without consequence. And this device will be targeted to a patient population already with a proven track record of failure to adhere to common...

    Oral hydromorphone vs IV

    It's not a sustained release medication is it? So many are nowadays that we DS'ers really need to be sure about that. We need easily absorbed rapid release type...

    Since I'm already venting.......

    I've heard some pretty stupid things said over my years, but to me what separates the ass wipes from the good folks who just oopsied with their tongues, comes later. A decent, humble person would thing about what they said and call or text an apology. The ass wipe will go on their merry way, not...

    things that make you go hmm...

    Just do the best you can because shrinking the liver is very helpful to the surgeon, and thus is helpful for you. I had my surgery there with Dr. Aceves in May 2014. Trust me, this is one of the best DS practices in the world. You are going to have an amazing experience and a great outcome...

    Wanted to let everyone know

    Gratz to you Susan! And Please do NOT book yourself for ANYTHING for at least 3 weeks, and if at all possible 4! Please just take this time for yourself and YOUR needs. You have zero way of knowing how your body is going to feel day to day, and adding any stress at all during this delicate...

    Welp, I'm at the airport... 3 hrs EARLY!

    :clapping::clapping: It's going to go great!! You stand on the threshold of victory over your obesity once and for all. Couldn't be happier for you and proud of your guts to take bold action. You are one who has chosen the path of action over passivity, solution seeking over whining, and thus...

    I Am Scheduled: Updated

    Damn Scott! Really hoping that this is the charm for you and your absorption issues become a thing of the past. I'm amazed you've been able to even walk around...sounds like you probably had a whopper of a herniation. Your old football coach would have nothing but praise for how you've been able...

    Welp, I'm at the airport... 3 hrs EARLY!

    Ahh good old Ernesto! Great and humble man. For those who don't know, he was also morbidly obese in the past before Dr. Aceves did his sleeve. You'll like the ride back to San Diego too. Ernesto shows you a strange optical illusion that will have you questioning the laws of physics. Best of luck...

    Workouts?!

    I'd just concentrate on healing up and adjusting to your changed body. Adding more stress by excercising is probably unwise at this stage. As someone else mentioned, the external incision lines heal much faster than your internals. Why risk a serious complication? Rest, focus on fluid intake...

    No energy and needing new goal totals.

    Everyone is different in their absorption, so you need to let your labs be your guide over a timeline. But a good general rule is a 25,000 dry capsule daily. My A runs to the low sure, so I take a 2nd dose every few days. Also remember there are 2 kinds of K, K1 and K2. K2 is critical for...

    I think this is BS, but ...

    I don't buy it at all that the numbers are that high. While it may or may not be arguable that there are increased stressors on a marriage related to morbid obesity and its treatment, this article seems to be totally subjective and without scientific merit. To me it smacks of yet another...

    Had an interesting email from Dr. Esquerra's assistant, Nina

    Remember that the difference between a 100cm CC and a 125cm one is 9.8 inches. The effect on absorption probably isn't that much really. While I completely understand your desire to achieve your weight loss goals, I don't think it's as huge a deal as you might think. I absolutely agree that Nina...
