    ODOR ELIMINATORS!!!

    @DSRIGGS It is strong, although I don't find it offensive. I do disagree - it may not cover up your BM smell, but it does mine. YMMV IMO But then again I have a sentimental attachment to Axe. Back in the day, it was called Lynx and only available in the UK. My future husband (now ex, but I...

    ODOR ELIMINATORS!!!

    I use poo-pourri but I also carry a travel-sized spray bottle of Axe body spray. That crap masks the odor like you wouldn't believe.

    RNY to DS in Canada.

    Welcome! @Dawn is from Ontario and had an RNY to DS revision (I think she did anyway, I may be wrong), I think with Dr Hong. Ontario is the only province that does the DS. I'm from Alberta and self-payed to go to Dr Greenbaum in NJ. My revision was from a VBG to DS though. The exchange rate was...

    Need good thoughts and prayers

    Oh that's going to be really frustrating for her. I'm relieved it wasn't more serious but I hope her bones knit quickly. Thinking of you and your daughter xo

    I'm so excited!!

    @Stormy - I have had a revision from a VBG (mesh) to a DS. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask me here or PM me. As @Larra said, the revision of your type of VBG is much easier than the one I had. I self-paid with Dr Greenbaum in NJ.

    Surgiversary which I forgot.

    Congrats on your surgiversar!. Suckage on the cancer. F*ck cancer is what I say, you will decimate it. And I would kill for your bone structure by the way. Probably just maim, not kill. But definitely jealous...

    It's that time again!

    I don't have the 30/31 day one I have four x 1 week ones. But a very similar process :)

    Jillc's Journey

    Well today is my one year surgiversary. SW 325.4 CW 198.8 GW around 170 - I'll see how I feel in 10 lbs. Major lessons of the year- I have to experiment all the time. What worked for my body last week may not work for my body this week. For instance, I stalled out, barely losing anything once I...

    Jillc's Journey

    Well, almost 10 months after surgery, and it's really starting to show. Last weigh in I was about 212, approximately 113 pounds down. My major goal is to get to onederland. After that, I pretty much don't care. Well I don't care right now, I might care then. Life wise/job wise it's confusing. I...

    Mexican Surgery and Going it Alone

    My 2 cents. I went to Greenbaum for a revision from a VBG to DS. I was very scared of open surgery because when I had my VBG 25+ years ago, it was open and very painful. I could afford Greenbaum (barely - as I'm Canadian and the Canadian dollar was tanking and now it's in the toilet), so I...

    Greenbaum and Hess method

    Oh you bet it is @Elizabeth N. I didn't meet the dietician (I met her assistant) - and I just nodded and smiled. It's the same as it is with other practices. Poor DS advice, not quite RNY advice, and the group is rah rah sis boom bah. I finally got her to stop inviting me to events in NJ after...
