So, i am just a little impatient! My surgeons office's insurance coordinator is out of the office and will not be bac****il monday. i am faxing my 6 month pcp visits tomorrow, so i am hoping monday she will fax it to med. mutual. So my question is, how long does it take med. mutual to approve or disapprove?
Topic: RE: 5 yrs out...
20 pounds in 5 years is actually quite good, but I know where you are at. I am at the same place. For me the best way to lose is being more active. I bicycle and now I am starting running. The eating part comes down to discipline and I work on that. You are right though., Those crispy snack items are so so easy to eat. Good luck! -- Tom

Topic: RE: Youngstown/Warren Support Group!?
Luke, I am from the Kent area, a little out of your area. Keep me informed of your progress. Meeting on the west side of the Y'town metro area would not be a far drive for me (30-40 minutes).
You might also want to check out the Summa Akron group. It is a great group. I am also a member of a post-op WLS group, http://www.meetup.com/MovinForward/. We have social activities like hikes, dinner out and such. I am also one of the founders of a WLS friendly bicycling club, http://www.spinoffcyclists.com/. It's a lot of fun.

UNJURY Unflavored whey protein supplement is specifically-designed by a clinical dietitian to deliver Medical Quality Protein. UNJURY uses only the highest quality protein from Whey Protein Isolate. 20g Protein!  | Ingredients: Whey protein isolate and soy lecithin Contains: Milk and soy. See note below*. Allergen Information: Manufacturing employs practices designed to segregate ingredients on equipment that also processes egg, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, soy, fish and shellfish products. For all UNJURY flavors, do not use in liquids hotter than 130º F. Proteins, when heated, change texture. For example, you have seen an egg white go from a clear gel, to firm white, when cooked. For UNJURY, in a hot liquid, the proteins tend to clump. A food thermometer is a good way to get the temperature nicely warm…just right. *Note: We don’t recommend mixing Unflavored UNJURY in plain water. ***Note: Soy ingredient is Soy Lecithin, not Soy Protein. |

substained release medications you can't take because you won't absorb them, but aspirin and ibueprofen because it can call ulcers. I don't know if you have the medication issue with the sleeve or not, but I would suppect you would. My insurance wouldn't cover the sleeve and I don't know if medicare covers it even now, but I am thankful I had RNY because I am not a fast loser and don't think I would have gotten as much off as I wanted, nor have with the RNY but it will come, slowly but surely. It is up to me to work the tools given me.

I did not know about the medications. Like What meds can you NOT take? Now thinking about this...I would suppose this us due to malabsorbsion, correct?

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I am in the middle of remodeling my house and needless to say I forget lots of things.
Health wise, I had already had knee surgery but not a replacement, I had sleep apnea, diabetes, on insulin and pills, high blood pressure and high lipids, all has resolved, except my knee pain and it is not near as bad as it use to be but when "ole' arthur" flars it is very painful and I am sure you know there are certain medications we can never take again.
About my band? I was starting to have problems but just could never lose weight even by following all the directions.
Hope you have found more information since I last wrote. If you do facebook you can facebook me by typing in Jacqueline Coldiron.
