I was creating a list of my current medications in my phone for reference and realized that I'm on 15 prescriptions. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, low T, restless leg syndrome, and depression. What a physical mess my body is in. 15 prescriptions at age 47; give me a freakin' break.

Do not buy the Jabra's. I have a pair that I paid over $100 for and they started having static problems (not radio static - ipod static). Also; these fit over the ear and do not fit inside the ear very well making it hard to hear the music when outside. I called Jabra and they said to just re-boot them and they should be fine but it didn't change a thing. I've still got to get back to them. They are the sport type and are sweat proof. They're great except you can't hear very well and they have static. LOL Oh, and they're also pretty large. Too big really.

Forgive me, but I'm confused. What are these movies about and what do they have to do with getting your vitamins in easily?

I know that I'm not supposed to post in here, but I'm going to anyway. This is a very interesting topic. As I'm sure you ladies know,or maybe not, us men have trouble with fat buidling up on the mound. For some reason I never thought about women having the same problem. It's nice to hear that some of you can see your vaj jay again, that gives me hope for being able to see my man stuff again someday. Lol. Good luck ladies. An attractive vaj jay is important to most men. Feel free to post before and after pics. Just kidding.

My insurance accepts 6 months of weight watchers or 6 months of a medically supervised diet.

Go see your pcp or surgeon and get on some antidepressants. They will make a world of difference, but do it as soon as possible because it takes a while for the medicine to start working. Hang in there.

I was told exactly the same thing by my doctor's office. She said that the only weight and BMI that gets reported to my insurance company is the initial weigh in.

One of those form fitting under armor tee shirts that really shows what you have under the shirt (muscles instead of man boobs). I always wear shirts that are a little large for me to cover up my belly and man boobs. I'd also like some new levi's with a size 36 waist, maybe some cowboy boots and a white button down shirt. Cowboy boots might make me too tall though; I'm already 6'-3". Who knows, I'm going to be rockin' something though.

Never mind. I went online and found it. I was trying to use my phone and it didn't have that option on there. Thanks anyway!

I haven't used MFP in a while. I can't seem to find where to "check in". Can you help?

Apparently the only measurements you can keep up with in MyFitnessPal is neck, waist & hips. Unless I'm just not doing it correctly. I use an app called "Notes" on my iPhone. I store all kinds of lists and info in there. It's a really simple but useful app. Hope this helps.

Good luck. You'll do great.

VERY PRETTY!

Thanks guys. That's good to know. I appreciate your help.

I am currently doing my 6 month medically supervised diet. I had my first check-in with my doctor on 8/13/13. I gained two pounds. Ugh! This 6 month diet is an insurance requirement. My question is: what is my insurance company expecting from me during this diet? Do they want to see that I can stick to a diet and lose weight to prove that I can handle the post-op diet, or are they just confirming that I cannot lose weight on a diet? My diet consists of 1800 calories a day and I'm not even coming close to that. I've also been walking/running on a regular basis. Please advise on what the insurance company wants to see. Thanks!

I am on the same meds as you along with lithium and pristiq. I cannot go off my meds. Did you have to for your surgery? Do you have to crush your medicine now? Thanks!

Thank you. That is a great thread.

I'm going to purchase a VSG book and wanted to get some input from you guys on your favorite VSG book. Thanks guys!

I have a BMI of 38 and I do have comorbidities so my cutoff is a BMI of 35. I too have been concerned about losing weight. I have my first appointment with my doctor 8/8/13. I will discuss this matter with him and post my findings after my appointment.

Anyone in the Chattanooga, TN area that used/uses Dr. Jaime Ponce. I'm about 5 months away from getting sleeved and have my first appointment with him on 8/8/13.

Gold Bond makes a product called "Friction Stick" and it works wonderfully. It looks just like a stick of deodorant.
