When I had a cold I took the tylenol cold and sinus I think is what it is called. If you buy liquid be sure to check to see if it contains sugar.

You will be fine, you have to be approved by him. Just a talk. If you have insurance approved the, you will see Carmen and she will give you a date. Or all the documents will be send to insurance and then after you get approved - you will get a date. Not sure how far advance the scheduling now. When I was in the process there was 3-4 month after approval. Not sure what is now.

Topic: RE: Appointment with Dr. Bour today

Ok, maybe not today...I just got a call from Dr. Bour's office and they had to reschedule my appointment to next week b/c Dr. Bour is tied up in surgery. I'm a little bummed but, at least, now my husband will be able to come with me. I now have an appointment next week (9/24) at 1:30. What should I expect from this appointment? How long does it take from this point to get a surgery date?

Hi all! I don't post alot but I do read alot on the forums here and I can't thank each of you enough for all the help and encouragement that I have received.

I have my first appointment with Dr. Bour today and I'm a little bit nervous/excited all rolled into one. My husband is out of town on business so I have to go by myself which is a bummer.

Wish me luck............

I used the muscle milke lite and opti fast. I drank a mml shake for breakfast had the tomato soup opti for lunch and chicken soup opti for another meal and had mml for the last meal each day and I lost 16 pounds so the mml works and taste pretty good too. the opti soups are good I could not use the strawberry opti as good. good luck

I have been on the Optifast diet before trying to lose weight. I found that if I put the shake in a container with a lid and just a small opening that it helped with the smell. I got use to it after a few days.

Topic: Celebration of Less is more in GA -Brunswick, GA

I am so excited! Our yearly celebration is October 4th and I just wanted to let everyone know that it is open to anyone interested in it. It is an event that is put on by our hospital and doctors. At the event there are vendors, speakers and give aways. Some of the local WLS patients will be in a fashion show after lunch. That night is a dinner and dance where we all can celebrate our journey.
