Good Morning and Happy Friday! I can't believe we still have a day left, though. I am exhausted. I took an entire sleeping pill and I slept hard for 8 hours! Very needed. I'm still groggy but I hope I can slog through the last few hours and crawl to…
Queen JBGood Morning and Happy Thursday! That feels like a good enough reason for cake to me! Today I have a very busy day. I had two meetings at the end of the day yesterday and a lot of work fell out from them and I also have a ton of…

I am 5 months post-op and my Low back pain / Sacroilliitis has been flaring up pretty badly lately. I used to take diclofenac for it and it helped a lot with the inflammation and it would go away within about a week or 2 usually but thats a super…

Queen JBGood Morning! We made it! I am going to say "just barely" for me. This week was filled with so many new things that required institution-specific knowledge that I don't have yet, so there were so many times that I had an inbox of emails with things I was not…

Has anyone had to get IV iron infusion therapy recently? I can't seem to find a hospital near me. Is it true? This is no longer covered by OHIP?

Not sure if anyone is still around. I am about 16 years post op. Never made it to my goal weight of 150. I have stayed consistently between low 160's and 170's. Seems to be my sweet spot. No complaints. Far cry from 265 (pre op). Well if anyone is…
