Oh ok, that's good to know. I don't have any heart problems, just sleep apnea and I just had a sleep study last month. so I'm just trying to find out if there would be anything that would hold up the process.

Are you happy with your sleeve and results @@GENNYOSKINNY ?

@@GENNYOSKINNY Hey girlie! No date yet, currently in my 2nd month of a 3 month program at Healthy Steps in Santa Rosa (Partnership pays 100%, yaaay). My surgeon set a 25lb pre-op weight loss goal so I figure my surgery date will be around June or July. My Psych evaluation is on May 22nd and hope to schedule my EGD soon. I got my blood work, EKG, and chest X-ray done some weeks back. I'm sooooo looking forward to getting this tool to help me.

I was just about to make a thread about this but someone beat me to it! Anyways I wanted to know the same thing. Does anybody know if Partnership Solano Health does Gastric Bypass or not? I was set to get my surgery then I lost my insurance (I used to have Blue Cross Medi-Cal and Sutter Select) because I was under my dad's (turned 26) then I'm trying to find someplace that will help me get the surgery because I'm so unhealthy and sick. Not only that I'm secretly ALWAYS in pain. So it would be helpful if anybody knows. Thanks!

The global alternative sweeteners market size reached US$ 4.9 Billion in 2023.

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.

Various regulatory bodies are approving alternative sweeteners for use, ensuring their safety and efficacy. These approvals provide food and beverage manufacturers with the confidence to incorporate alternative sweeteners into their products. Additionally, initiatives like sugar taxes in several countries are pushing companies to seek healthier alternatives to traditional sugar.
