Episode 93: Bariatric Book Review

Posted by on Sep 30, 2010 in Long Term, Reviews

On this week’s show our Drop Zone feature is all about ing’ing. We review a book written by a gastric bypass patient that’s 30 years out from surgery. Have a look at the best way you can give back to the weight loss surgery community. And wrap things up with a review of a B-12 supplement that’s a blast of minty goodness!

    Nice job Freaks!

    Like the shirts :)

    Is it just me or was the background music a little louder this week?

    It may have been. Was it to much?

  3. As always – LOVED the show. Y’all make me crack up when you get tongue tied. I really liked SPEW – never heard that one!!

  4. Jen Hauss says:

    great video. can you get all 6 sprays at once or do you need to space them out over the day? Also a spell check for you: barnes and noble not barnes and nobel. Sorry! I used to be a teacher. Old habits die hard

  5. I didn’t even catch that one, Jen.. thanks!

  6. Big Mickey says:

    Thanks Jen! This show was a bit of a spell check nightmare. Between you and me, I think this will be the 4th or 5th version I will be uploading to the server!

    As for your question on the B12 spray. It was explained to us by the folks at Building Blocks that the dosage was 3 sprays 2 times a day.

    Thanks again!

    Mike

  7. Jen,

    To confirm, we suggest you break up the 6 doses over the day. We here found in the office that two doses of three sprays in each serving has made for a good method to not have too many doses but to give your body time to absorb the B-12.

    Have a great day!
