I'm on them and my labs came back just fine. I've been on them for 7 months now. I was just low on my Iron so I had to order the iron patch along with the multi Vitamin and the Vitamin D I take. I'm assuming you're with Kaiser? They are really big on saying no to things that haven't been out and tested for at least 10 years. There was no way I was going to be swallowing all those pills. It was either the Patches or nothing. They saved my life!

I use GENEPRO in my coffee every morning. No taste to it. Dissolves completely. 30g of Protein in one small scoop but I've been told it's actually half of that. I'm ok with that! 15g first thing in the morning is great!

Girl I've done everything! LOL... from home remedies like Mayonnaise to the expensive Bosley Shampoo. Biotin gummies, biotin pills and Biotene shampoo my hair is not stopping period it's on a good one! I get a lot of Protein in every day. Hopefully it slows down here soon

All the Biotin in the world isn't gonna stop it. Lol. I'm on a high dose of it plus I used Biotin Shampoo along with Bosley shampoo. I just gotta ride it out I guess.

Yes very true! .. I totally agree ... squeaky wheel lol
The Bariatrics front desk already knows me .. I always ask to be on cancellation list :. When it comes to surgical appointments & whatever..
I've had many procedures & surgeries over the years.. been w kaiser over 30 yrs ..
Also my 10 yr old triplets were born there .

Just a little advice from a Kaiser post-op: Don't wait around for them to call you! Call them! They drop the ball all the time. And when you are scheduling your surgery date with the Dr ask to be put on the cancellation list. You will definitely get bumped up much faster this way! Good luck everyone!

I think the atkins ones taste better

While working out DON'T be discouraged by the scale. You will not see it move. And if it does, your trainers right it might go up. I've been doing CrossFit for a few months now and the first month a the scale didn't move but the inches we're coming off for sure. As my clothes are fitting much better! It's important that we're working out to keep or loose skin under control. Plus you'll feel so much more healthier to! Keep up the good work!

Genepro! Look it up and buy It! Thank me later [emoji6]

I was sleeved on 10/24/16. I'm 5'4. 35 years old. SW 235. CW 188. Down 47lbs. If my 13+ weeks I've stalled about 5 of them ????. Not back to back though! I'm currently in a 4 day stall now. I need to do better with Water that's for sure. Gym 3 times a week and on those days I notice I'm a bottomless pit. Lol.

I was sleeved 10/24 ...my weight slowed down to almost none the past two weeks. Sw235 Cw185. I started boot camp two weeks ago. So maybe just gaining muscle. I use GENEPRO for most of my Protein intake since I can't stand shakes. I think we need to start paying more attention to our inches lost at this point.

I use GENEPRO in my coffee every morning. You have to add in this order to prevent clumping. GenePro, Creamer then coffee. My creamer is cold to it controls the the temp and prevents clumping. I also use a self stirring mug (check eBay for them) blends it perfect! No Protein taste and it starts the day off with a little less than 30g!

Your instructor will let you know during class when you can start labs. The Psyc eval will be scheduled after you graduate from your classes along with seeing the doctor on more time before moving onto the surgeon

Sorry for the late reply. I did 12 weeks of classes out of Fontana. Sleeved 10/24 1st class SW-245 surgery day-235 CW-185. -50lbs. You need to be ontop of them after you graduate. They tend to drop the ball alot. I was stalled by an extra month because of them. Just do all your labs as soon as your told. I'm sure they are going to say you have sleep apnea too lol. So you'll need to get your machine before surgery date. I haven't used mine since that day. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll try harder at responding faster

Seems like yesterday I was starting those classes. I do miss them. They go by fast! I started mine in April and was sleeved in Oct. Good luck!!

Do you have a lot to lose? It will probably catch up here soon and start dropping off fast. I'm only 6 weeks out and have had 2 stalls. One lasted a week and the other two weeks. You might be having a long stall.

Again guys I was cleared to workout at my 2 week check up, I wouldn't workout if I wasn't cleared. They just told me to start of light and take my time. As far as Vitamins I'm taking them already I just don't like them, the Calcium is liquid and gross and so is the B12. I do have my meal plan and she said as time progresses she will up my intake do to the fact I work hard in the gym.
