What you're doing looks good to me. What did Dr. E say?

He said yes!!!!?

Unique situation - therefore, I will need insurance approval.

I'm still interested in identifying someone who has had a revision of a revision. ? I don't know if it's ever been done.

First common channel was too short, now common channel too long - the human body is complex.....

I'm hopeful and excited that things are going to go back to normal. I have truly learned from this situation that a useful weight loss tool is instrumental in the weight loss process.

My labs came back great with the exception of PTH - but I'm all over it. It was 191. it has decreased to 114 and I'm shooting for normal in 3 weeks.

That is good news. I hope you will be able to get insurance to cover you.

You might want to add a lot of vitamin K2 if you haven't already added it. You want that PTH to come in around 26.
