Funny you should ask. I am 3 months post-op and always starving and wanting to snack so I started taking it. Works for me! My mother has lost 30 pounds in 3 months on it. I had the dang surgery and have only lost 40 in three months so I would say that yes, it works!

And what happens when you stop taking it? Just curious as to why miracle diet pills now suddenly *work,* when in the history of time, they have always failed. Break out that old yo-yo, 'cause here ya go again. :-(

Yikes! Make sure you notify your surgeon about taking Trim Spa. I don't know anything about it, but those diet products are very often harmful to us. You need to know the effects of this product especially as a post op. Remember, you have the surgical tool forever, barring mechanical failures. Please be careful.

What last few pounds are you referring to?? Let your body let you know where it needs to be instead of trying for some "goal" weight. No two people are exactly alike and those weight guidelines are nothing short of mentally destructive. I agree with several of the other posters, please work on lifestyle and behavioural changes before going back on the diet yo-yo rollercaster game again. This is not a race that is to be won in the shortest amount of time. This is your life, your personal journey. Your journey does not stop until you do, not before. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. I wish you well. Jodie LAP RNY 05-02-03 336/166/??? Wow, that's 170 lbs! I just got out my calculator!

This is NOT a good option for us. What this stuff does, is expand in your stomach so you eat less. Now that might be OK for someone that has a regular sized stomach, but not good for us. Also, if you read the warning label, it says that if you don't swallow it properly it can expand in your throat and choke you!! Anyway...in my opinion, if diet pills worked long term, we would never had needed this surgery right?
