I had surgery at University of Cincinnati West Chester and UC offered a 12K plan that included everything. Check with them to see if they have any deals. My friend went to Dr. Curry. I actually work for UC and only $3500 was covered. I paid $9800 out of pocket and that was a 50% discount. I should have gone with the 12K deal initially...lol

Thank you for the link Jenn1.

I will be 2 years 4/29. I lost the full feeling signal at about 6 months. I've been a slow loser and have gained 15 pounds since my low of 161 2/28/17. I stayed in the 160's until about November 2017 and have now bounced between 170-176. I definitely have my hunger back and have incorporated all the naughty foods back into my diet. Some days I get full quickly and other days not so much. Trying to get back on track. I'm having a hard time with finding a diet that works for me. I've tried low carb, Keto, Paleo and Whole 30. I just want to be normal and eat like a regular person. I'm sick of protein, sick of protein drinks and would love to not feel guilty every time a carb passes my lips.

@@cuteNATL I mix mine in coffee every morning. First I add some tap water and swirl in my coffee cup and then add coffee from my Keurig.

I've been using Genepro and overall love the product. I have noticed a calorie difference of 57 to 98 calories for the same scoop but different containers. Does anyone know why?

@@kyboo1972 - How are you doing?

@@kyboo1972 so excited for you! You have already done an awesome job losing. Can't wait to hear updates.

@@AudreyDarling, ironically a few of us are from Northern KY, Cincinnati area and not Ashland. Hope you don't have to wait too much longer for approval!

@@Tssiemer1 - Ugh I just saw your post. Cdiff ain't no joke. Hope you're better. I had a follow up appointment today with Ivan. Things are going great I'm down to 176, 26 pounds until my first goal. I thought I was losing pretty slow but Ivan was pleased with my progress. I did labs and everything is in the normal range. Labs are better than what they were pre-surgery. Hope every one is doing great. Lisa

@@bcostasbiggs guess I forgot we are a week apart I was sleeved on 4/29. I'm going to try some product before going with a short cut. I'll be curios to see how things turn out for us.

@@bcostasbiggs how many months are you? I'm 3 months and just started losing hair. Not handfuls but a noticeable amount.

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I checked in. Things are going well. I have been busy with the kids and counting down their return to school. Weight loss is going well. I'm down to 183 and feeling great. I am going to start boot camp on 8/17. I haven't done any strenuous exercise, only walking, so I anticipate some body changes and weight loss to follow. My food is about 900 calories a day. Protein 90 g, Carbs 56 g, Fats 35 g My clothing is almost nothing because I have shrunk out of everything. I have gone down from an 18/20 to a 14 and a 1X/2X top to a L. I am going to check out consignment and Goodwill for some work pants. Nothing seems to bother my sleeve food wise. Hope things are going well for you guys. Tssiemer hope you're feeling better.

I'm going to New York on 7/9 and plan on having a glass of wine. I think you're supposed to wait a year. Everything has agreed with my sleeve so I'm not anticipating any issues.

Returned from Disney today, was gone 9 days and ..... Drum roll please, I lost 4 pounds! I weighed 197.4 today. I am beyond excited. I'm in ONDERLAND!
