Topic: Fage yogurt? Where can I find it in WV??
Hi!
I see talk of Fage Yogurt (greek yogurt) on the OH message boards all the time. A cup of less than 6 oz is supposed to have 13 grams of protein and only 6 carbs. I have NO idea where I can find that here in central West Virginia... Anyone seen it at a local store? Please share where if you have!
Thanks
Lea

Alison,
How long from the time you went to your Dr. to talk about wanting this procedure till you were approved? Did it take long?

Topic: Waiting for the call
I was wanting to talk to some people that have had the lap band surgery. I have been trying to do my homework. I would really like to hear from others about their experiences and any advice would be great. I am going to attend my first meeting at the Womens and Childrens Hospital in Charleston March 15th. Is anyone going to that meeting? If approved, my surgeon will be Robert Shinn. I would appreciate any and all comments and support.
Thank you in advance,
Beth

Topic: Got a date!!!
Well today I got my surgery date!!! I go March 28th!! Wow when it goes it goes!! I am so excited I'm not scared because I have the Lord at my side always. I still have a few pounds to lose but they will be off by surgery day and then some probably. Good luck to all and God Bless
Topic: RE: I'm approved!!!
That's great. I'm 2.5 months out and down 42lbs. Dr Shin is wonderful, I have had to be scoped twice since surgery for strictures. He and his office staff are awesome! CAMC Womens and Childrens bariatric floor is great also. Good Luck!!
