Topic: RE: New and just got date !
Hi, I don't have a date yet, but we think it will be before the end of September...unless the insurance comes back with "oh yeah, we didn't tell you about...."

Anyway - I have been doing protein stuff for a long time, since I have been Insulin Resistent and need to have protein at every diet.

I was wondering what the level of protein is for a protein shake?

I use an egg white protein...doesn't have much flavor at all.

Topic: RE: my surgery sept 13th but cant decide wether sleeve or bypass is best?
Wow...and I just decided to do the sleeve because it was less invasive.

Hey, Dayton, we just moved down from Columbus, OH to Houston...
I really wish I could get more info on nutritional deficiencies...that has me worried....

Topic: RE: Band to Sleeve - 9/7/10
Lynn,
I was struggling with the LapBand or the VSG, and was leaning heavily on the VSG - and your surgery kind of pushes me toward the VSG to start with.

Can you tell me why you choose to do this?
Thanks!
This is my birthday gift to me, I turn 50 on the 8th.
