Since I'm so tired of taking those stupid gummy calciums three times per day, I decided to give PatchMD a try. I received my order very quickly (two days), but it's the wrong dang patch. I ordered the D3/Calcium and received the D3. Very frustrating, b

Pre-VSG, I was fitting into a size 16W/18W pants. Now five weeks out, those pants are only held up by my belly rolls and the booty is sagging so very sadly. It's getting to the point of unprofessional to continue to wear these to work, as I'm a prescho

I'm over the moon, but I would be lying if I said my heart didn't jump up in my throat when I considered how fast everything is happening.
