Hi. I'm not sure if I can do this, but I have 4 unopened bottles of Isopure for sale. 2 Black Teas, 1 Grape Frost and 1 Passion Fruit. I bought them for my post-op diet and never used them. I would like $10 for all. I live in SE CT.

Topic: How did 9 years slip by??!!
I almost let me 9 year surgery anniversay pass by without acknowledging it at all!
Wow. I can hardly believe it. 9 years. It's been an amzaing 9 years.
I'm so lucky to have been given the gift of the tool to use to change my life for the better.
I'd like to thank Dr. Aranow, who performed by gastric bypass. I know that his skill, his exceptional bariatric program and his bedside manner (including the necessary tough love!) have been the main reasons for my success. Thank you for my life back Dr. A. Where would I have been withouth you?
Nine years ago I was super morbidly obeese, weighing in at aprox 320 lbs. I had several very serious co-morbidities as well. Today, my only lingering health problem is the old complaining hips and knees. (They like to remind me just how much I once punished them.) I am weighing in at about 150 lbs. I've been lighter (was down to 130 at one point) and I've been a fair sight heavier as well for a bit. But, I fought and am lucky to be able to continue to succeed.
I can't stress enough that when people mention, 'it's stomach surgery, not brain surgery'- they're not kidding. Today, I remain convinced that the key, and I do mean THE key to long term success revolves around participating in regular bouts of brain surgery with yourself. We must constantly be assesing and reassesing our emotions (good and bad), patterns, behaviors & additudes and fighting to break (and keep broken) our unhealthy relationship with food.
The regualr support, both in person and online of the OH and the Middlesex community have been invaluable to me in that process- thank you all for that!
I hope that those of you who are still in trying to get surgery will hang in there and stay the course. It's SO worth it!
I hope that those of you who are struggling and maintaining stay the course too. I KNOW you can do it!
All the best wishes,
Lisa

Topic: RE: Dr Aranow - What is in Corvita 150?
-Vitron C appears to be Ferronyl Iron.
-Ferrex-28 looks like it is a blend of Ferrous Asparto Glycinate and Ferrous Fumarate.
-Feosol is carbonyl iron.
What is the form of iron in the corvita?
And what forms of iron are the most bioavailable?
I am more than willing to continue taking the corvita....once I know what is in it. All I can find is that it is considered a multi, and contains IRON/VITAMIN C/VITAMIN B12/FOLIC ACID. It comes from the pharmacy in blister packs in a plastic baggie, so I don't have the PI. Perhaps it is iron polysaccaride? It is really poorly documented exactly what I am taking, and how much of it.

Topic: RE: Dr Aranow... I have a question.
Ok...Thanks, Would I need approve from my insurance company? or is this common?
Topic: RE: Dr Aranow... I have a question.
Sure. Please try to obtain a copy of ypur 'operative report' and your fill history from your current doctor. Look forward to seeing you!
Topic: RE: Dr Aranow - What is in Corvita 150?
Corvitia is a highly absorbable iron. Feosol is not well absorbed and is highly constipating. Soooo take the corvitia. Other alternatives are vitron-c and ferrex-28. All of these have vitamin c in them to aid in iron absorption.
Topic: Dr Aranow... I have a question.
Hi Dr.Aranow I moved to Middletown last year to be closer to my job. I had Lap done July 2010. I am so tired of driving to New Haven for fills and the support groups are only on the days and time that I work. My question is would I be able to switch to your office which is literally down the street from my house.?
