Okay about 8 months ago my doctor put me on Crestor to lower my cholesterol level. I did not want to do it as I did not like the reviews on the drug. A lot of bad side effects. I took Zeta for a weekend and thought I might die from it so had my doctor change me and he almost won't take no for an answer for the Crestor.

I went to get the prescription and asked for just 3 days worth and thought if I lived through it I would pick up the rest. Well it was a rough couple of days and then really bad joint pain for a couple of months and then all side effects stopped. Today I got my blood results back and my cholesterol levels are perfect. So if you need something that really works I say ask for it. I was on another one for 2 years and it did nothing for me.

Now if only they would only come out with a generic, I stopped taking it due to cost. I have an HSA account and for 3 months it cost almost $400.00.

I went to their website and you can register for a card and you do not have to pay more than $50/month for a year. I used mine at Sam's Good with insurance or without.

Thank you 123crod, I wish I knew about that before because I really need to be on it. Looks like I'm going to the Little Clinic to get back on this again. :) But hopefully as I lose more weight (just banded 09JUL2012) it will get a lot better. Thanks so much!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
