Topic: RE: Support Group in Huntsville, Al ?
There are two WLS meetings in Huntsville at the Hsv Hospital Wellness Center on Govenors Drive. The gastric banding folks meet the first Thursday of the month at 5 PM. The by-pass/sleeve meet at 6 PM the first Thursday of the month. There is a group that meets middle of the month at 10 AM I believe.
Topic: The MOST Important Rule
I left this one off yeasterday but there is 5 rules for a successful weight loss.
The 5th rule is Take all your supplements. Here is the list that I have always heard from my surgeon and from all the OH conferences that I have attended.
Take a multi vitamin ever day. If you do the childrens gummy take 2.
Calcium Citrate not carbonate. Our body does not metabolise carbonate. We need from 1200 to 1500mg ever day in divided doses. Make sure your calcium has Vit D added.
B12 is so very important. You can do this ever day sublingual or do a monthly injection. Also now out is a nasal spray that is done once weekly.
What ever you do PLEASE make sure that you get these supplements in each and ever day. And also please see your doctor and get those labs done.

Does anyone know when & where the Support Group Meetings
are in Huntsville, Al ? I have never been to a meeting, but I am thinking of going to one. I live in Florence, Al, It will be a little bit of a drive but I wanted to find out how helpful the meetings are. Plus, it would be nice to meet people in person that have had or thinking about having WLS & that I talk to on here. I would really appreciate any information on the meetings... Thanks !!!

Thank you for posting these.
It is so easy to get away from the basics, but they truly work.

Topic: RE: APPROVED
First, call your insurance company and ask them for the link to the detailed list of requirements for WLS approval. Then, make a checklist and follow it to the letter. I had to do a 6 mo supervised diet in addition to providing a 3 year obesity history. Once everything was done and submitted, I got approval within a week.
Best wishes to you on your journey!
