    Protein!!

    My favorite in Unjury which is medical protein powder. They also have sample packets online so you can try it before you buy a lot. My favorite is chocolate and strawberry and the flavorless which you can add to any and everything for added protein.

    HIPAA only applies to covered entities - health plans or health providers that transmit data electronically. If a supervisor disclosed your health information it is not a HIPAA violation because employers generally are not subject to that law. i assume it is a violation of company policy and overall bad decision for a manager to disclose the information....but it is not illegal. You could ask your manager if the made the disclosure and report to HR for a policy violation. Or if your weight loss has been rapid, people may have made an assumption. Either way, try not to stress about it...

    SURGERY DATE

    Hi all! Tomorrow I will receive my surgery date. I’m excited and nervous all at once. I feel prepared in terms of knowledge - but I still have several people who love me very much expressing major concern regarding my decision to do gastric bypass surgery. As we all know, this is our decision – but hearing others who think I’m making a huge mistake – it kind of gets into my head a bit. I’m so glad I found this forum. My new peeps! I will need you greatly as I get ready for surgery!!!

    Any peeps from Ontario, Canada

    Congratulations, you are only two months out. I hope you are doing well. Thank you, I will definitely message you if I have any questions.Yours was at Humber, mine was supposed to be Toronto Western but after about a year they asked me if I would not mind going to Guelph because I would have to wait another year! I jumped on it.Glad I did because I got a surgery date very quickly. Sent from my Nexus 5 using BariatricPal mobile app

    How fast will the weight come off?

    You want to find out EXACTLY? You know no one can answer that. You've gotten some good estimates but it's impossible to predict and what you do (eat, exercise, drink, etc) plays a role too.

    My mom is not well

    We live in Texas. She had her gall bladder removed years before the bariatric surgery. The bariatric surgeon has done an endoscopy on her about 8 weeks after the surgery and he said there was no issues whatsoever. I am having so much trouble getting her to a new dr for a second opinion because she is on Medicaid and no bariatric drs accept this insurance. The only reason she was able to have it done in the first place is that her PCP deemed it medically necessary. Her surgeon works at Texas Tech University Health Science Services, so I thought they would be a legitimate resource, but her dr doesn’t seem to wanna even treat her anymore. She is actually in the hospital right now admitted. I had her in the ER on this Sunday past, and they did emergency surgery to remove a kidney stone, and they still havent released her yet because they haven’t got her potassium and magnesium levels correct plus they are attempting to correct her nausea issues once again (not her bariatric dr treating her btw even though his office is across the street). The hospital drs said they spoke to bariatric dr and he said it’s all in her head. thanks for all the responses, it is truly appreciated
