Is unflavored Isopure truly unflavored or is there a better option for unflavored Protein. I think for now I just plan of buying and unflavored protein and putting it in as many things as I can... Crystal light, propel, soup... Etc. Isopure bottles are so expensive and I have heard mixed reviews. Also Is isopure the only one you can buy in a store?

I know this topic comes up somewhat often and I know a lot of it has to do with personal preferences but I wanted to see if a lot of people agree on the a good tasting Protein. I would like to hear about all different types. powders. Bars. Unflavored. Already mixed drinks... Etc. Thanks!

I will be sleeved the 24th but by Dr. Kelly Kelly at Nova hospital... But I will be in the Lucerna hotel after that!

I will stay in the hospital 2 nights but I have planned to cut my trip short by only staying in the hotel one night instead of two.

I will be sleeved the 24th by Dr. Kelly at Nova I will be at Lucerna afterwards. I'm going to Tj alone... So looking for anyone who will be around during this time.

I will be sleeved the 24th by Dr. Kelly at Nova I will be at Lucerna afterwards.

I was told my drivers license and my birth certificate were good enough... That's what I will be going with.

I will be alone on the 24th also where will you be at?

I was scheduled the 17th but I had to push it back to the 24th to get all my financing done... I will be getting sleeved by Dr. Kelly on the 24th.

Post the days you will be in Tj... At which hospital/hotel what days??

This is not necessarily accurate. My insurance excluded WLS specifically' date=' regardless of any circumstance. They do, however, cover emergency and follow up care, as necessary. If I had had an emergency post-op, they would have covered whatever care was needed.

It is a question I specifically asked. My PCP even helped me find a bariatric surgery practice that was willing to treat me, if I had any need, once I was home.

Luckily, it hasn't been an issue. But it eased my mind knowing I would be care for, should I need it.

Kat how did you go about figuring this out? I plan to be a self pay also because my insurance doesn't cover wls. I would like to know if they cover anything related to it afterwards.

Has anyone ever heard of the POSE procedure...and if sobhave you heard of them doing it anywhere out of the US?

I am hoping to be in TJ Mexico on July 10th if everything goes smoothly with my financing. Will anyone else be there???

I am 7 months out CW 150 Lbs with 15 more till my surgeon's goal

The first pic is a Family Pic from 2010 and then one from Mother's Day 2013 where I am 6 mos post-op.

The second pic is 1 month post-op and 6 months post op:)

We have very similar stats, my starting BMi is 41 and I am only 5'0. You seem like you are a pretty fast loser, well definitely not a slow loser, I'm afraid I will be because 40 isn't a super high BMI (I know it isn't low either though) Can I ask what type of diet/ foods you mostly eat and what type of exercise you do?

Hi Tara! Looks like we are the only one's who have posted in this group recently…I am hoping to be sleeved July 10th!

Hi I'm new here also…hoping to be sleeved July 10th..in TJ by Dr. Ramos Kelly. I'm 5'0…weight 198ish.

Hi I am Mia, I live in Colorado and I am pre-op. I am hoping to be sleeved July 10th in TJ by Dr. Ramos Kelly if everything goes smoothly. I am only 5'0 and I weigh about 198 lbs. This actually does put my BMI above 40…for my height so I'm not to ally a low BMI.

I am happy to hear Dr. Kelly doesn't put in a cath! Sucks about a drain but I know most surgeries will have a drain afterward : / How long is the drain left in after surgery, do they remove it before you leave the hospital to go to the hotel?

For anyone who is going to Mexico, what surgeon are you going with and post when you will be there!

Where is everyone from…. I'm in Northern Colorado.

Oh and I will be going to TJ…so anyone there… I will be there the 10th-13th.

I have a surgery date!! July 10th! But I'm still not getting my hopes up because it always seems like something falls through, I have already had 3 different surgery dates and it hasn't worked out yet. This time I'm afraid my loan is going to fall through because on my loan application it asked for patient income and I put my entire household income. Now with everything being processed I need to supply proof of income, which I can for my household income, it isn't like I lied about that, but I think they may have just wanted my own personal income and that probably wouldn't make me eligible for the loan anymore.

July 10th**** Not june obviously! lol

Sooo I have a surgery date….June 10th!! I am still trying to not get my hopes up though because I'm afraid my loan could fall through On the loan application when it asked for income I put our household income because my husband and I have been married for almost 10 years. But I'm thinking they may only of wanted my personal income, which probably wouldn't make me eligible for the loan. Does anyone know anything about this?
