    Just heard from my doctors office and my Insurance approved my surgery!!! unfortunately my surgeon is going to be out of the office for a couple weeks so I cannot see him till Dec. 6th. They will schedule surgery then... They also said it may be after the first of the year before he can operate. So Yay approval but still the wait....

    I wish I a time period for you, but I'm in the same position. I have my last appt. on Tuesday and I will get my surgery date and all the paperwork will be submitted to the insurance co. I will be interesting to see the what everyone has to say.

    Congratulations on 2 years clean... I know about addiction transfer... mine was the other way around though... I started with Meth then went to food... I have been clean for going on 11 years... and I am working on food addiction now. You will get through this... if you can quit meth and opiates you can do anything... best of luck on your journey!!! Thank you for sharing.

    Heres my 2 cents:
    1. Dont get gummies. They're not very well absorbed and thus you aren't going to get ur required nutrients from them.
    2. While it may seem to be pricey buying the Bariatric Advantage brand, u only need their Multi chew and their calcium chews if u go that route. And a B12 sublingual from any brand. If u go the non Bariatric Advantage route, u gotta worry about buying bottle after bottle after bottle of different Vitamins and minerals to satisfy ur requirements. Add all those different bottles up, who knows how much total ur spending. ALL your Vitamin and mineral requirements are in the Bariatric Advantage Multi chew and Calcium chew. I have 1 bottle/1 package: I take 2 multis a day from the bottle and 3 calciums a day from the bag. Thays it. And the B12 sublingual once/week.
    Just found it a lot easier and less stressful to go the B.A route than to worry about all that other stuff. We have enough to worry about, especially the first few months, without adding all the stress of which Vitamin and which store and when its on sale and etc. Maybe after the first few months when ur feeling more secure with how to eat and live then u could venture out and piecemeal ur vitamin requirements together, but right now, I'd go the BA route.
    Ps. I have nothing financially to do with BA. Just my personal opinion and what i found helped me tremendously, at least so soon after this life changing event. I'm 1 mo postop. Good luck with whatever u choose.

    Sounds good ill look into it... Thank You
