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.

Hello I am hoping I become am able to get procedure done. How are you doing with it?0

@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.1

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.0

Nope. Just trying to educate myself.0 -
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.1

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.

@Blittle74 How did your procedure go? How are you feeling now?0
-
Still on soft foods. Down 4 pounds. Check in is Wednesday0

@richelleschaefer 4 pounds! Yay!0

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?1 -
@iSparkleForever, Yay, for the last day of liquids. I found it really hard to hit my calories when I was on liquids as well. Even when I went to the soft food phase it was hard. Eggs were amazing after being on only liquids. Enjoy them. I think for me the cramps(which weren't bad enough to take the medicine they provided) lasted a couple of weeks.0

Hey hey!!! I had to take the cramping medicine last night so I could sleep. It helped. A couple of weeks isn't too bad then. So does the cramping mean there's a good chance we have the device? How's your hunger now that you're on regular food?0
