What Vitamins Are You Taking?
TxDumplin replied to JustFluffy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
For a multivitamin with iron included I think I'm going to order these. Only one a day and it's chewable and cheap. http://www.procarenow.com/Chewable-One-A-Day-Bariatric-Multi-Vitamin--30-ct_p_10002.html -
Congrats!!!!...bunch of people are getting their dates today

I think I will order from here and get the variety pack of the isopure...http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-232400-natures-best-isopure-zero-carb-rtd-variety-pack-12-bottles This should last the full 10 days if i drink a full bottle and then 1/4 of another. That should be 50-60 grams of protein. -
Walmart Whey Protein Shots
TxDumplin replied to TxDumplin's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Oh no! What is your favorite clear protein drink? -
The surgeons office called me and said bcbs of illinois denied me. Said i need proof that medication is not controlling high blood pressure or my high cholesterol. So i called my family dr. and having her fax over my medical records so the surgeons office can re-submit it to insurance again. Last blood work my total cholesterol was 201 with medication and my blood pressure has been a bit on the high side with medication. I'm really worried this is all coming to an end for me

OK...I admit, i'm a cheapo! Since we are going to have to take supplements for the rest of our lives, i need a website that will pretty much have everything that i need. Multivitamins, Iron, b12, Calcium citrate and protein. Does anyone have a favorite website they would like to share that have great prices?

Congratulations! -
Been reading articles that say the quick weight loss that happens with gastric bypass surgery can cause gallstones to form and that it's quite common to have the gallbladder removed also during this procedure. Would love to hear from anyone who had theirs removed or wish you had it removed.

Gallbladder Removal
TxDumplin replied to TxDumplin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, I'm definitely going to bring it up to my surgeon to see is he thinks we should go ahead and remove it while he's in there. I can't imagine having a gallbladder attack while trying to recover from rny :/ -
Thanks ya'll....I'm on cloud 9 right now. I should find out my surgery date by the end of the week. DebbieG and hek1127 keeping my fingers crossed for you guys. The waiting does suck!
-
OH MY GAH!!!....I just found out i was approved!!!!...my heart is racing and i'm so excited I can't think straight!!!....Is it real...somebody pinch me please
-
Grrrrr...!!!!...I called my insurance to check status because the insurance lady at my surgeons office is NOT returning my calls!!!....Anyway, paperwork is all messed up but after being on the phone trying to make them understand my situation they decided to look deeper into it and found the "lost" info!!!....I am really put off with my surgeons office insurance lady...she apparently is not working too hard to get me approved. I was denied initially so working on getting approved the second time around. I'm really thinking about changing surgeons if approved. Has anyone else on here decided to go with another Dr. after insurance approval?
-
I still have not heard anything back from the insurance lady....My info from my primary care dr. was sent to insurance last Thursday. Tomorrow will be a week....Still holding out hope for a phone call with good news about my appeal. The waiting is so hard!!!

Congratulations!

Iverina...you are so sweet! We are in the process of submitting it again. Not giving up
