Topic: RE: LapBand revisions?
I've not had my revision yet (working through the insurance nightmare) but I've been working with Dr. Houston in Nashville. He is an excellent revision surgeon (not to take anything away from Dr. Spaw) but there each insurance company is different and has different requirements for revision. The big one is documented complications that cannot be corrected without surgery. My two big issues right now are hiatal hernia and severe reflux.
Things to consider is what do you want to revise to? I agree that since the band is strictly a restrictive procedure, you may want to look into the malabsorbsive procedures, especially if you have a high BMI. I too am partial to the DS because of the research I have done, but each one of us have to make a decision that is best for us.
Good luck!

Topic: RE: New Carbmaster Yogurts at Kroger!
Someone at work had one in the fridge that was Tropical fruit flavor. Only had 8gr. protein but that's still good. I'm gonna check out my Kroger and see if I can find the new flavors. Really want to try the tropical fruit.
