  1. Hemroid cream should work. I was told to put some on a spoon and heat it over stove burner just to melt it and if not hot put some on a warm washcloth and gently rub it in itchy part. Omg, it felt so darn good. Someone told me this when I have hysterectomy surgery and it works.
  2. working so I'm trying natural stuff and did research about Iodine for my thyroid disease. I bought a bottle and omg, in 2 days I could tell the difference in my energy and my family. So now I made up my mind know I have energy that I want this weight off and live. Been heavy most of my life. I just need help getting this weight off. Any information to help me where to start would be so great. We are down to one truck due to my Acura's transmission just went out and I need to wait until next month to get it fixed that's why I haven't made any appointments yet. Help! Lol Thank you!
  3. Okay, so I have Tricare and Medicare part A and B. (I have 2 insurances) My question is... Do I call the place where I want to have the surgery and have them contact insurances and handle it or do I make appointment with my regular family doctor to get started? I've have high blood pressure and kidney disease, high cholesterol, sleep problems, fibromyalgia, thyroid disease and my knees, joints, back is hurting me. I'm 5'5 and weight around 235 lbs. My doctor knows I've been depressed about my weight and no energy at all. Dr. said it's because of my thyroid disease, fibromyalgia and kidney disease. So the medications from the Dr. isn't wo

    Can you bring a shaker cup with you? It's a plastic shaker with a ball or wire ball inside so you can shake and mix the powder up.

    Failing already

    You can do it! Listen to what Tealael said about NOT eating any carbs. (Nothing White) Try drinking lots of water too. You can eat all the meats and vegetables you want but no carbs. If you get a really bad craving for carbs just try to eat only ONE serving a day. Hugs and best wishes!
  9. Every time I tried to lose weight I might drop 5 or so pounds then nothing so I would give up. I have always been active and most of my life been chubby. My weight keeps going up now that I'm getting older. I'm sick and tired of being over weight and now having medical problems. I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor and tell her I'm tired of trying this and that. Nothing is really working and I have my mind made up and I would like to have the surgery done. So you got approved for surgery from insurance. Yay! Wished I was there already. Did you have to take any classes, see a dietitian or shrink first? Best wishes! You can do this...

    Thank you. I also have high blood pressure and kidney disease, high cholesterol, acid reflux. I have Tricare and Medicare part A and B for insurance. Do I make an appointment with my doctor to get a referral or can I just call my insurances and have them contact my doctor? Did your doctor suggests the surgery or did you bring it up?

    5 Day post op

    Hello, I'm trying to get started on how do I go about getting this surgery started? Do I make appointment with my doctor and tell her I want this done? I've been over weight most of my life and I can't seem to lose the weight but gain it. I'm sick of being heavy and having medical problems. I'll be 50 soon and I want to be healthy and live not fat with heath problems. I'm 5'5 and around 238 lbs. I have Medicare part A and B and Tricare for insurance. I'm so lost and scared that my doctor will say no for some reason. Help!

    Hello I want to get this done and need to make an appointment with my doctor and talk about this. I've been over weight most of my life. I'm 5'5 and weight around 235 lbs. I've tried diets, watching what I eat and exercising. Am I over weight enough for my doctor to okay this. I think I brought this up a couple of years ago and my weight was around 225 lbs. Im excited and now doing my research but scared that my Dr. Will say no. How do I get my doctor to okay it for the insurance? Pls anyone help and what is the safest surgery? Thank you, Dennise
