Tina - Great to hear from you! I don't go on this board as much as before but it's nice to catch up! You are so strong! I admire all that you've done in the last year. You've accomplished so much with so many more challenges. You're AMAZING! Sorry about your job, that sucks. But good luck with your surgeries, it sounds like you've found a gem of a doctor! Love, Sandy

Hi Marianne - I will be 50 in February! I take Centrum Silver which is for women 50 and over. I take 3 tablets a day. I get the mega-bottle at Sam's or Costco. Additionally I take 6 calcium citrate tablets a day, sub-lingual B-12 every other day, a Vitron/C tablet once day, a super B complex once a day, an acid reducer at night and 3-4 biotin pills a day. Hope this helps! Love, Sandy

Hi Everyone Hope you are all doing well and getting ready for the big holidays! Ever since I had my WLS my Dr. prescribed pre-natal vitamins for me because I felt this would be good for me since these vitamins have everything in them. I have been taking one pill twice a day. Ok, now here is my dilemma--I needed to have a refill called in so Dr. Adaniels office called the prescription in for me. I called the pharmacy yesterday to see if the phone call had been made and if my iron and vitamins were ready for pick up. I was informed by the pharmacy that my insurance is no longer going to cover the cost of the pre-natal vitamins. When I asked why they told me that it was denied because of my AGE! Can you believe that because I turned 50 in October the insurance company decided that I am past the age of getting pregnant therefore no vitamin coverage for me! This is the first time I have ever been made to feel OLD. It is kinda funny but it will now cost me $84.00 for a three month supply. I am going to have Dr. Adaniel's office call Empire to explain to them why I am in fact on the pre-natal vitamins. In the meantime, I ran out of my vitamins and need to know what kind of over the counter you are taking. Today I took a Women's One A Day and plan on taking another tonight since this is all I have for the time being. Are these vitamins ok to take? Have any of your Dr's recommeded these to any of you? Please get back to me ASAP since I need to get something that is acceptable by the Dr.s until I get my prescription straightened out. Thanks a bunch! Your "OVER THE HILL" friend (yeah right!) :D Marianne PS: Please

Greg - Congratulations on your success! Your enthusiasm is infectious! XO, Sandy
