  1. I had surgery in 2008. My comorbidities (health issues) went into remission the very next day. I lost most of my weight within the first 6 months. Over time I managed to get down to 104 #'s. However, I had a full hysterectomy and my body has been out of whack ever since. Originally I lost 109 #'s but then gained 82 #'s back since 2015. Most of the medical conditions have returned and now that i'm older and I've broke the rules for so long, I am finding that losing it all over again isn't as easy as it was the first time around. Knowing what I know now.....I wish I could go back and change several things. 

    I had an upper GI with barium not to long ago to see if my pouch is streached or if something was wrong with it. Low and behold the drs said my pouch looked like it was just done yesterday. The Dr said it is literally the size of a medicine cup. So, the tool is still there and is in good shape, just have to reteach my mind & body the proper way to use the tool to my advantage.

      That's good news that your pouch is functioning. Just go back to the basics, start eliminating the trigger foods, take all your vitamins, start walking. Come on here for support, there is a veteran's forum, check it out. Good luck.

  2. They are called OPTISOURCE Post Bariatric Surgery. You can order them on Amazon or if you have a Walgreens store....they sell them also. Google the name so you know what your looking for. I was recommended to take 2 tables 2x a day. Once in the AM and once in the PM. They also suggest an OMEGA 3 to help with staying regular. I hope this helps,
