Trader Joe's High Potency chewable Multi-Vitamin. Tastes fine, and is cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than most other chewables -- particularly the bariatric specialty ones.
Does it have Iron?

How are you feeling? Where did you have it done? I'm excited but nervous.

Hi, I'm in Fresno too. Getting sleeved on 9/17.

Went to insurance. The waiting begins.

What is all the talk about sleep study?
It seems SO many patients require it for insurance purposes.
I think it depends on your doc. I have no history of snoring or sleep apnea so I didn't need one.

Mine too. So frustrating.@ sjfink I know what you mean.. I have two appointments left. don't have a date for surgery yet. My office waits until the end.. I'm starting to get antsy.

Sounds ideal Sleeve-getter.

I thought a week too but the psychologist suggested two. He had the surgery and said he went back in a week. He called himself a desk jockey and wished he taken two. Now that's got me thinking.

I'd be happy to start a FB group. That's a GREAT IDEA!! Let me put it together and I will let you know when it's up! Give me a bit, I have to take my puppy to the dog park! He's worse than a 5 year old right now! LOLI wish someone would start a fb for September sleevers. Need lots of support. Tried to bond with some from my Drs office Thursday, but none were September sleevers

I have anthem too. My plan covers it with six months weight loss plan. I'm using the time my doc gave me the weight loss meds. Office said that would be okay. Hope it works for you too.
-
Yeah! Good luck today. Here's to your new life.

Lucky me, I got both. Feeling better now. Sore throat is finally gone.

I had to have the barium swallow because I have acid reflux..they said they do it for everyone though to get an accurate view of the path of your systems because that's important regarding this surgery
-
Kensington, they were checking me for acid reflux. Which I haven't had in 13 years. Hopefully you won't need it.

I do not have to do a sleep study because I don't have sleep apnea. Or at least that's how my Dr decides who needs one.

Never had an LP. That sounds awful too.
I understand now. Hadn't heard anyone describe. My daughter had a colostomy as a baby and this was one if the tests. Unfortunately sat up like concrete in her. Lil. But that's also been 25 years ago.
Poor kiddo.

I work in the HIV field and medication is your best defense against contracting the virus. They do have side effects but a doctor should be able to treat that. Keeping you in my thoughts and don't miss any doses.
