Please make sure the gummies have iron. I chose 1 that did not and had to take iron supplements to boost. I recently found a woman's 1 a day petite that I can handle.

Naples, Illinois

Good luck losing! I called insurance today and none of information they had was right. Prolly why I was denied! Second call was a message to surgeon to figure out what's up. Sometimes I wonder whose working at the insurance company

I think that would be worse, having a date then losing it. I'm glad we haven't done that! Progress forward is my mantra!

Yeah, I'm not taking no for an answer! I saw the doctor yesterday and she is ready to fight

Panda I'm married and completely agree with you. I have NO doubts in my marriage or my husbands security.

Not sure I want to find out! Thanks to the auto correct! I needed to laugh today!

Well ladies, denial #1 completed  But I'm not giving up! Sure smarts though.

Yes. All I am waiting on now is insurance. I had to switch programs because of my insurance. New doctor is great and very supportive of my history and revision. My band is currently unfilled due to the issues I have had with it. My new doc doesn't place bands at all and my old one said he will be stopping.

I am currently 201 and seeking revision too. I don't think you will lose too much since metabolism had changed already from the 1st surgery. I also wouldn't expect to lose large amounts quickly since it's not there to lose. I'm hoping to lose 50-65 pounds if possible. My band is a tool no longer and I now wish I'd had gbp to start but I was too scared. Not any more!!

I too am awaiting approval for the same. Got a letter requesting more information. Hang in there and definitely keep trying!!

They apparently have a Bariatric line too. I have only seen the calcium in stores around me though.

Oic. Mines an hour but I do that daily to work anyway.

I use caltrate petites and I bet they could be crushed. Ask the pharmacist where u get them. That's their job. Also Walmart carries liquid made by welless. I'm going to use that post op. I saw it on another thread and checked it out. It can also be bought online

Just curious but do your programs have support groups? Both of mine do and I have gone to both despite the drive. Again, just wondering.

Walmart has liquid. Brand is welless. Calcium that is

High dose Bariatric chewable iron tabs. 60 mg each x 3 but that was prescribed. If that hadn't worked I would have had more testing to see what issue was but I responded well and now are in normal range. Took 3 months

I have had borderline anemia. Mine was a result of low iron stores

I don't use it as a social site. Just tracking. But I'm on Facebook 

I have the same fear. Mine seems to be centered around a number. I was 220 before pregnancy, 220 after diet and exercise, regained with lapband complications... It seems 220 is where my body is demanding I be. Having regained after 1 wls, I fear that I will "repeat the cycle" with a revision to gbp. But I think also that anyone who has yo-yo weight loss through the years is just waiting for the shoe to drop. So yes, I have the very same fears.

I swear by myfitnesspal

I love the idea of a zombie run! Wish we had that around here. Thinking about this has made me realize how much I have accomplished despite my problems and set backs. But I still I still want to zipline and not look silly.

As long as you don't change the serving size. That messes with calorie count. Look for something that can easily change to ounces. For example 0.5 cup equals 4 ounces. If you only had 2 ounces, then you can say you had 1/2 serving and it will figure it. I use it on my phone and this works pretty well. Hope that helps!

I actually just started the 50 shades trilogy. Was gonna save for my surgery time off but decided not too. Just finished the Hunger Games and was disappointed on the ending. Also still reading Janet evonovich(sp) number 16. It's the Stephanie plum series. Saw the movie but the books, as always, are waaayyyy better!
