Irony of all ironies is that my Mom was there on the 20th for her eval.  She was going to go with a Dr in El Paso (she lives in Las Cruces), but is going with Dr Syn also.

Thats exciting!!! I had my eval last week and Dr. Syns office is waiting on those results before submitting my stuff. I have BCBS and they told me it could take up to 2 months!!! Agh! Good luck I hope it goes through fast for you!!

Looks like you and I are in the same boat.  I saw him on the 13th for my eval.  I am waiting on approval from United Healthcare.  I did the psych eval earlier today.  I spoke to someone in his office and she told me that the application for UHC was sent over 2 weeks ago.  I will hopefully be able to have the surgery in early Dec.

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with him.  I have seen he has done over 1400 operations so far and he does not do lap-band type at all.  Has anyone in here had him as their Dr?  What was your experience like?

Congrats!  Dr. Lara was also my surgeon.  He did a great job with me - no complications.

I had my WLS wednesday and got out of the hospital on friday. Everything went well and the pounds are dropping off. I am losing 2 pounds a day. I hope that trend continues.

If anyone is looking for a surgeon, I strongly reccemned Dr.Lara and Las Palmas BAriatrics.

Topic: Health Tracker Update: Meals and Reports

Last week we released two major updates. First was the public release of OH Groups where any ObesityHelp member can now create their own Group. Second was the addition of Activity Tracking to Health Tracker, which provides a robust and easy to use tool to track and monitor your exercise and activity. Today we have added My Meals and an Activity vs. Weight Loss Report to Health Tracker. 

My Meals

My Meals allows you to group and store multiple food and beverage items as a custom meal that can be used over and over again. If you have meals that you eat on a regular basis, you will no longer need to log each food item individually. 

To access My Meals, go to your Health Tracker in My OH and click on the Nutrition tab. You will see My Meals listed under Nutrition.
Creating a new meal works similar to your Food Log. You can search for food items on the right and add the foods to the meal on the left. A Calorie Breakdown chart and Nutrient Summary Label are also available for each meal.

Once a meal is created you can add that meal to your Food Log from My Meals by clicking "i had this" or you can search for the meal from your Food Log.
When searching for a meal to add to your Food Log, all meals will be returned when "My Foods" is selected in search. So, to "drill down" on meals that you have created, select to only show "My Foods." When a new meal is created it may require up to 30 minutes for that meal to be indexed and become searchable.

Activity vs. Weight Loss Report

Adding to the Macronutrient and Export Reports previously available, there is now an Activity vs. Weight Loss Report. This report will allow to compare Average Time in Activity vs Weight over time, providing you with further insight into what impact physical activity as on weight loss and weight loss maintenance. In Health Tracker, click Reports and then select Activity vs. Weight Loss.

We hope these additions to Health Track reduce the time required to log your daily food intake and makes it easier to view how physical activity impacts your weight.  

Create your first meal now!
