I've been a heavy gal all my life and i've been researching into a lot of weight loss surgeries and I think Lap Band is the way to go for myself.I found out my ins(united healthcare of GA) will NOT cover it even if its for medical reasons.Has anyone found any grants or doctors willing to work with you to be able to afford the surgery?
What? Are you asking if there is a Dietician that has HAD surgery themselves? Or are you asking about seeing a particular dietician in regards to WLS?
HI DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY DIETIONS IN RI THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH WITH ONE OF THE SURGERIES?
2013: 20 Funny New Year's Resolutions
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year. Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!
1. I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!
2. I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!
3. I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.
4. I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day. Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.
5. I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

How did you do? Did you use your head and not your stomach to eat?
I did well, I had made a sugar free pudding pie with light cool whip that was my treat.
I ate light at the meal, more involved with make sure everyone else ate enough and packed it up with them and sent them on their way! lol
what did you different since surgery? This was my second Thanksgiving so I did well.
