Does anyone know if there are reasons why stomach pains / issues would occur and last over a period of days.
It makes killer grilled cheese! I got a sample pack too. I tried the 2 carb brownie and it was just OK. So far the superstar is the bread. I want to try the 'everything' bread! And the hotdog/hamburger buns.

Thank you so much for the tip, perfect timing for me because for the first time since my ds almost 7 years ago, I'm gaining weight. 
I have never watched my carbs but now it's started. I'm up 10 lbs and getting after it before it gets outa hand. I ordered a sample pack that includes hamburger buns too and recieved a 25% discount as a new customer.
Thanks again

When I saw my surgeon about this a year ago, the insurance denied me. I didn't appeal at the time, life was too crazy and I hadn't faced the orthopedic crisis I'm now facing.
When I saw her last week, she could see very clearly that I am having severe joint problems: I had a total knee replacement in July 2018 w/ a very difficult recovery, and will have to have to have the other knee down. I also have unrelenting lower back pain/herniated discs. Finally, there are studies linking MS (which I also have) and obesity. So, best case, my surgeon can advocate and we'll be fine. Otherwise, I think my ortho doc and neurologist will get on board.
Also, I asked my insurance company online if I qualified/am eligible for WLS at this time and got a yes, in writing.
You have to order it but it's good. Worth eating! They also make bagels, pasta, and hot dog/hamburger buns.
Hi Liz, that is very encouraging...tencouraging...the 32 pounds. Do you know how she lost her weight?

Thank you very much for the information and your kind words. Much appreciated!
Good decision! We are seeing more people with failed VSG all the time, and the logical revision is to the DS, as you already have the sleeve part of the DS now. And I hope you understand that it's the operation that failed you, not the other way around. Once the sleeve stretches out, which seems to be inevitable, you are left with no tool to help you lose weight or prevent regain.
I've sent you a pm with more information.
I'm only about 2.5 years out but I hit my lowest, which was 30lbs lower than my doctor set for my goal, and I only stayed at it a day before I gained back 3lbs... I know it's only 3lbs BUT that's where I felt the best! Both of my doctors say I'm fine, I want back at that weight...
Do what makes you feel good. Your tool will still work no matter how far out you are from surgery. There is a lady that come to one of the support groups I go to. She is 11 years out from the DS and just lost all her regain in a few months, 32lbs!
