  1. Who is Herman's Hermits, & Crosby Spills & Nash?
  2. Look up Gladiator Protein powder. That's the base they sell. If you're looking at their menu shakes they have a lot more stuff added to them. As I stated its fine as long as you are not adding the extra sugars & carbs to them (fruits & berries) It's a mixture of both whey & egg Proteins. Which are both complete proteins & for some people may be more tolerable, and is higher quality than Premier Protein Shakes which I also commonly refer to a a "good" alternative
  3. I'm beyond beautiful, I'm freakin' HOT!!
  4. We have star ratings?? I never knew. How many do I have? I'm on an iPhone, the mobile site messes me up.
  5. Most of my problem with American providers is with the attitude of the surgeon & the staff In Mexico, any little discomfort is taken seriously, examined, and addressed. Quite the opposite in American hospitals. In Mexico they want to identify any possible issue before it becomes a problem, whereas whereas American facilities have repeatedly written off complaints as patients just being whiners. And when there is a problem, American doctors first response seems to be to avoid litigation, whereas in Mexico the first response is to serve the patient. I don't really blame the surgeons for this as much as I do society. They are practicing medicine in an environment that is continually seeking an opportunity to rake them over the coals. Whereas in Mexico a patients recourse is to ruin the surgeons future career, but it won't be to the financial benefit of the patient.
  6. The 6 week number is specifically related to your staple line. It is considered healed at 6 weeks. Full healing, meaning all swelling is gone, etc will take between 6 months & 1 year. But the probability of springing a new leak after 6 weeks is almost non existent.
  7. I can relate to Less' post. I came completely off all drinks that have calories or carbonation till 6 weeks after surgery when I bought a diet Dr Pepper. One drank about 1/2 the bottle and was so repulsed, I had to throw the rest away. Per surgery I was the guy that would go to dinner & have 5-6 glasses of Dr. Pepper with my meal. Go figure. I do have a few lightly carbonated flavored sparkling waters now, but sodas simply do not attract me any longer.
  8. The big problem is that you will never be able to reliably tell if the wrap worked, or if it was your body doing what it would naturally do on its own. I can say, from my experience, and from what I've seen in others, keeping hydrated & properly nourished will do more for you that the wrap will.
  9. Now I'm mad at you. I always knew you were female, but I never thought you were that HOT!!! You've deprived me if eye candy for months. I don't know if I can ever forgive you
  10. It's the thread that never ends, It goes on & on my friends, People started posting on it not knowing what it was, They'll continue posting forever just because......
  11. There was another coordinator they were having some trouble with. I'm not sure if he quit using her or if they rectified their issues.
