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.

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

Hi, Everyone.
For those of you in the South Central, Kansas, area, the Winfield L.I.G.H.T. (Losing Inches, Getting Healthy Together) Support Group will meet Saturday, May 9th. Pertinent information is in my signature line.
We'll cover a topic pertinent to WLS/weight loss, sample a WL-friendly recipe, have an OH magazine available for those who want to take one, take time to share joys and concerns, and one lucky attendee will have the opportunity to choose something from the goodie basket.
Let me know if you have any questions or are planning to come.
Blessings,
Mary
