I'm jewish and keep kosher and am having a very hard time finding a multi that has the 100% RDA of zinc and biotin and that is in chewable, liquid, or powder form. Can anyone help?

Do you think the pul is being overly cautious to order 3 other tests aside from the chest xray? I am a perfectly healthy person......maybe i should try another pulmonologist or have the surgeon speak to him? The referrel asks for an ABG......i'm assuming it's the chest xray?

Are you nervous about not being able to get down some of the foods you're eating with the fill?

Do you know many pple who have been banded?

I know one person who has been banded, she is a very close friend and we have known each other for over 7 years and one who had a different procedure.

I am very much a barf-a-phobe (I just created a new word) so I am uber-careful to chew my food. I know eventually I will screw up or the band will be PMS-y and I wont be able to swallow something but I am not going to let it scare me.

I think tha if you don't have anything that would cause them to have a worry about your breathing that you have the right, as the patient, to clarify with the surgeon what it is that is absolutely required and what is just being cautionary in the realm of testing.
