    VITALEPH

    LoriBecky commented on MissyBlake's blog entry in MissyBlake's Blog

    Hi Missy, you weren't suckered in, we had supplier problems, we refused to go with a sub par product and change our provider. Product is arriving today or tomorrow and we will launch the website by Thursday or Friday. We have been so excited about this new product that we did get a bit ahead of ourselves with the website because we believed and trusted in a supplier that let us down and we took the road of patience to get the best possible product. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused our patients. We were all disappointed in the wait! All products should be available to ship this week, we aren't putting the website ordering up until we HAVE THE PRODUCT IN HAND... we aren't waiting on promises, we are waiting on fact. You won't be disappointed! So excited for all the amazing products for the VITALEPH line!

    I am in need of a favor OCC patients! I get questioned about the scars left from a sleeve or plication surgery. I have a picture of mine, but my sleeve revision is only 4 months out, so I need some of you that are more like a year out to email me a picture of your scars (or lack thereof) so I can show people that there is nothing to be concerned about! If you would be so kind to play show and tell with me by emailing me your pictures lori@obesitycontrolcenter.com - don't worry, I won't share your name or email address, just your picture! Thanks!

    Bougie sizes

    LoriBecky replied to Auggie's topic in Questions

    Hi Auggie, OCC uses a 32 bougie for patients. This is considered the "gold standard" bougie size and most commonly used. Here is a picture so you can get an idea of the size If you have any questions you can reach me at lori@obesitycontrolcenter.com or 1-866-376-7849 ext. 81

    remember, you had IV fluids going in during surgery and some swelling from the surgery itself... give it a few days and you'll start seeing it coming off

    From our Nutritionist, Dr. Miranda: Sublingual B-12 tablets may dissolve under the tongue, but may not be absorbed as well as liquid sublingual B-12 or B-12 injections. For surgical patients using the subligual tablets, we recommend you consider changing to sublingual LIQUID B-12 or getting monthly B-12 injections. Any questions? Call 1-866-376-7849 ext. 86 to speak with Dr. Miranda.

    My husband and I drove our car into TJ and he drove around a lot during the day while I was working at OCC, and we also drove around and shopped a lot on Friday. Never felt unsafe at all, in fact, in the almost 6 years I've been working for OCC... I would say it is even safer now then it used to be! We were all over the place!

    Hi M. The sleeve revision shows faster/better weight loss over the plication. It is harder to calibrate the plication as a revision. We can still do it, but we want you to have all the facts up front so you know. I just had the sleeve revision done about a month ago, and so far, i"m loving it! Sleeve patients statisitcally lose more weight then band patients, or plication patients. You don't need adjustments, and long term weight loss maintenance is even better then the bypass. You can read about my journey on my blog here: http://www.occforum.com/index.php?app=blog&module=display&section=blog&blogid=332 and you can always email me at lori@obesitycontrolcenter.com or call me 1-866-376-7849 ext. 81 with any questions!

    You are doing GREAT I'm so proud of you! You are doing better then I am on my liquids and protein intake. Because I'm a revision, I still have quite a bit of inflammation and swelling, so the drinking of anything but clear liquids is still a bit of a chore, but I do love the mashed potatoes! I know I'm not getting anywhere near my needed protein intake yet, but I'm working on it! Keep us posted !!!

    Tired

    LoriBecky commented on Paula Bee's blog entry in Paula's Blog

    Paula - you are a week behind me, and I hit that wall last week! The fact is, you had surgery, and your body is recoverying. You also need to make sure you are taking in plenty of liquids. I was doing that, but I still hit a major wall! Dr. Miranda let me start mushy food a few days early and it has really helped... not sure if it was psychological or if it just helped, or if I am finally passed that too tired to get anything done phase... but by next week, you'll be feeling better, I promise! I'll keep praying for you and your mom, I know this has to be tough on both of you (hubby, too!)

    I spoke with Dr. Martinez, and he said, especially for sleeve revision patients, it may take 6 weeks for the post operative inflammation and swelling to really subside. That can happen a bit faster in a "virgin" sleeve surgery. So I'm trying to be a patient patient... trying to find some alternative ways to get in my protein, as the shakes do not seem to agree with me, no matter what type I use. I have noticed warm tea does go down much more easily then the cold tea, but even the iced tea hasn't created spasms, just have to drink it more slowly. Anxious to see what the next few weeks bring. The chicken and veggies sound sooooo good to me right now. I get to start on mushies on Monday, so... mashed potatoes... here i come!

    Bella, thanks! How is your solid food eating going?
