Same here. Used the phen-Finn combo and Los from 214 to 119 in a year. Stopped When it was pulled off the market. Gained all of it back.

Hugs. Words cannot express how I hurt for you.

Not a kiwi. More of a grapefruit (Texas). Welcome.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Hugs to all of you in this group. I lost my beloved daddy in 1995. I had just seen him the night before and he was fine. Got a call at 5:30 the next morning saying he had a massive heart attack and died. I still think my step mother had something to do with it. That was so difficult, as I could tell him anything. Then in 1998, my older brother died in a plane crash. Another horrible day. He kids, ages 10 and 12 at the time saw him crash. In 2009 my son, 32 at the time had a motorcycle accident resulting in a traumatic brain injury. He was in a coma for a month. The Doctor kept telling me he wouldn't live. When he came out of the coma I was told he would never walk or talk. But after a year of therapy in hospitals he does just fine. He is different now. Has the mentality of a 16 yo. I miss the man he was. Don't get meh wrong, I am very grateful he survived but it's not the son I had. I do feel like I "lost" him. Please don't judge me on that.

Wow. Sounds really good!

OK, just an FYI... I thought it would be a good idea to use the Isopure ready to drink protein in my green smoothie. I had kale, strawberries and the Isopure. The Isopure will whip up like egg whites, making the smoothie fluffy, but not sip able. You have to use a spoon. I'm thinking this may work well as a high protein dessert if made with sugar free pudding.

I am. In fact the Doctor office is. But they said their insurance girl is out for 6 weeks, so it will be after that. :-/

Today I went to my doc appt ready to get my surgery date. I've done all the required prerequisits, etc. Only to be told my insurance company denied benefits. The clinic said the insurance originally told them I had coverage, and now they are saying I never did have coverage for bariatric. I cried. Not sure what the next step is. Checking to see if the hubs insurance will cover. What have y'all done in this situation?

Anyone here use dr. Gomez or UTMB Galveston? Would love to hear your experiences.

EXACTLY!

I have not told many people about my upcoming surgery. My husband and my sister know. I just don't want everyone in my business. I'm not ashamed. Just a bit private. I know that sounds funny, as I am on this website and have joined discussion groups, but it feels different here. I suppose I may change my mind and let more people know the closer I get to surgery.

Good luck! I don't have a date yet, but hoping it is in the next few weeks. My doc has not said anything about a cleansing diet. What is that all about?

Ecto6@yahoo.com I'm game!

Hello, I am new to this forum. I have attended several of the seminars on weight loss surgery. I have never gone past that until now. I am terrified of the by-pass surgery. The band feels ands sounds like the right choice for me. I will see a baraiatric surgeon next week, and will learn what happens next. I look forward to working with all of you, learing what you are doing to enhance this experience. Thanks, T
