Topic: BariatricTV Episode 28 - Toga Toga Toga
On this weeks episode, How about a preop Freak of the Week? Ever heard of the Toga Procedure? When and how do you tell folks you’re having surgery? And a look, and taste, of the new Bariatric Advantage Chocolate Calcium Chews.
http://www.bariatrictv.com
HIGHLIGHTS
- Our Freak of the week is….Paula…cause she has the shirt.
- We never heard of the Toga system so we decided to take a look.
- It’s a promising new restrictive weight loss surgery…with no surgical incisions
- It’s performed endoscopically….through the mouth.
- We talk about our own experience telling people we were going to have weight loss surgery.
- Who, what and when you tell others about your surgery…should totally be up to you.
- We do a product review of the new Bariatric Advantage Calcium Chews!
- Stay tuned and watch Lynnda catch one in her mouth.

I'm excited for you! I remember how excited I was. I didn't have to do a certain pre-op diet--just had to lose a killer amount of weight! The liquid diet post-op was hard, but survivable.
Are you packed? The one thing I was so glad I had with me? The 2 boxes of Gas-X Strips (one peppermint and one cinnamon)! :)
I'll put you on my prayer list. Please have someone post how you're doing, or you post as soon as you can.
Blessings,
Mary

I can't believe that May 13th is just a weel away. I am on the pre-op diet right now and honestly it's hard. But I know it's worth it in the end.
I can't wait I am super excited!

I had Dr. Fouad Hachem in Junction City, KS. The office staff is wonderful & so worth the drive.

Hi, Kim.
My husband fertilized the lawn, and then the rains came. We have about a foot-high growth to mow, but he can't mow because it keeps raining.
This weekend is Kanza Days here in Winfield, but the weather is putting a damper on the festivities. We're staying home.
Hopefully, we can both get yardwork done soon. :)
Blessings,
Mary
