    November Bandsters!!!

    I use the Unjury shakes too. The chocolate splendor tastes just like chocolate milk, there is not chalky aftertaste either. They also have a chicken soup flavor that you make warm, which is a nice change. A tub is around $20 and there are 17 "scoops" or shakes per tub, so just a little over $1 per serving. Also, you can buy single serve packet for less than $2 to try it before you buy a whole tub.

  3. Hi All, I started researching the LB last year and contacted the bariatric surgery center at my local hospital but was told I didn't qualify. Since the FDA lowered the requirements for LB and the billboards started popping up everywhere I decided to look in to it again. I am 41 with type II diabetes and a BMI of 34 which means I now meet the requirements. My main goal for losing the weight is not for how I look but to be able to get off my daily diabetes meds. Anyway I am rambling...my concern is how fast the process is going for me as I have been reading here on this blog about how long it is taking to get approved to just get an appointment for the consultation let alone all the testing and other pre-requirements. I have a PPO so I contacted a surgery center directly, the same day I was already pre-approved with my insurance company, two days later I had my consultation and now this weekend (1 week later) I have an appointment for my all my labs and my first sleep study. Once I do my 2nd sleep study they will submit all the information to my insurance company for final approval, which they say takes around two weeks. Has anyone else had it go this fast? Thanks, Gina

    Too Fast?

    I am really excited! I am so glad, I am not being stalled by my insurance.

    Too Fast?

    Thanks for the feedback! I would be impatient too if I had to do a 6 month diet.
