K if you are a Starbucks fan I found this to help and made me very happy girl. I bought the Adkins cafe carmal shake I went to Starbucks and got a cup with just ice. Holy crap it was awesome. Pour the portiien over the ice and you get the good of the protine drink with the awesomeness of the Starbucks feeling! I am stoked! No caffeine, only 1g sugar, 15 portiien, 160 cals. I am going to wash the cup and reuse ha!

WOW!!! Everyone looks so good. My surgery is Aug 13. I will so add to this tread and can't wait to!

OMG!!! My insurance approved the surgery!!! But......... I am so impatience that I called my insurance and asked. The doc office has to have in writing. I went to doc last wed and he said that i was a great candidate for the surgery. I cant wait it will prob be next mth though. But hey that is just around the corner.
Just to throw this out.... My PA Jody said that with the rapid weight loss you can have problems with your hair dalling out and she started me on otc bition it is a Vitamin that helps with the health of hair, nails and skin. I have been taking for a week now and my nails are hard as steel. Crazy right!!!

I have my first appointment Wednesday. Said would take 2 hrs. I am very nervous. That wont set date till ins is approved. I hope that doesn't take to long.

She will get over it!

I am way to impatience to wait. I would have known the insurance persona whole family names and for all of them by now.

I cant wait for all this to happen. I am glad I found this now will give me good support befor the surgery.

Hi Nita here, I have been working on getting this surgery for a little over a year. Last year i had everything done getting ready to make appointment with surgeon and.........my insurance changed and the new insurance did not pay for bypass. I was so devastated. I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressures. Being over weight doesn't help but i have both very heavy in my family on both sides. All I could think about was the years that the insurance was denying me years of my life with con't diabetes and struggled weight loss.
Now we have insurance that does pay for the bypass and I am so excited to say that my next step is to meet with the surgeon.
