I am just plain upset. All the people I have been working with are ready to recommend me for surgery EXCEPT my shrink I'm hiring to help me through it. She could blow this for me. We are going to have a serious talk next week when I see her. She has seen me 6 hours of my total life and she thinks she knows me. But she has never walked a mile in my shoes and has no idea what I have gone through. I know, you think if she doesn't support me I shouldn't have the surgery. But that is not the case. I am ready, willing, and able. She and I have just had a miss communication somewhere along the path. I hope to fix it. I was shocked when she said she didn't support me. And it's time for her to write her report. Crumb! Frustrated in Minnesota

I'm sorry, I missed what you are talking about. What's no in your opinion?

Dear fellow Minnesotans I am from the frozen tundra of northern Minnesota also. I was so glad to find you all on line. I hope to be approved for surgery in October. I have a question: I am using Target's "Pure Protein" powder. Is there a brand that really tastes pretty good. Does the taste improve with cost or is more money just a waste of money? I get 21 grams of protein and 180 calories for around $18.00. But I'd spring for the expensive stuff if I really thought it would be better. I'm a recent widow and on a tight budget. Thanks for being here. Morningsunbay
