Hi! I'm hoping that I can connect with other people who are participating in the current research study for the Transpyloric Shuttle. I had my endoscopic procedure on Monday 2/22/16. Looking to compare notes, get and share support to others who are participating.

    @houstod4, So far so good! I am two weeks out this past Monday and feeling good. I get occasional cramps, but not anything that I need to take anything for and they don't usually last long. I lost 6 pounds the first week. Where are you located in the world? I'm in Vermont.

    Hi. I just had the TPS installed yesterday at Dartmouth. I'm guessing it is there as I've been cramping and can't eat much. Still on liquids. I'm in New Hampshire.

    Hey @PTSmiles. I am full of questions and more questions. I go Tuesday, April 26th for the procedure. I started taking Prilosec today and Thursday is my baseline. I hope I get it. Overeating is my problem or leisure eating so I hope this helps. I want to train myself to eat the way I'm suppose to so once I lose weight, I won't gain it back. How much have you lost so far since you've had it in? What does the diet consist exactly the first 3 days and the following 7 days? I know I find out Thursday but I'm so anxious that I've been surfing the net like crazy and I stumbled on this. :)

    I had my procedure on the 25th. Still cramping after I eat, mostly but they aren't bad. Other than that nothing big to report.

    Hey guys!! It's me Blittle74. I changed accounts. Procedure was tuesday May 3 so today is last day for liquids. Cramping that feel kinda like hunger pains that last about 4 or 5 seconds but thats it. Im ready for eggs tomorrow though. Lol Getting all my calories has been hard but i do get my protein and she said these three days that's most important.

    So how long does the cramping last and did you start hitting your calorie mark with soft foods?
