Ryan Why do you have to call people names does it make you a bigger man the you really are. Just one more post I will send to the Administrator maybe they will do something about your abusive tone on this Fourm. If other members would do the same they just may do something about him Opinions are one thing name calling and verbal abuse is uncalled for Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

The worst part of WLS the 227 bottles of wine we have in our wine cellar. Before you think I'm a drunk we bought the house with the wine cellar already in it. And my wife's cousin works for a liqueur distrubitur. And is always giving us wine to try. I like the hard stuff like Knob Creek single malt my wife likes Red Cat wine Tempted to try but I was born a chicken Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I don't know if this Fourm will let my promote a web site but here goes Www.glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com.my wife would also like to go gluten free and has checked out this web site front to back and likes her recipes Hope it helps Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

It's not real pizza but it was yummy and as close to real pizza as we can get. Even my 11 year old who weighs 100 lbs and stands 5'1 wanted more Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I researched my surgeon and my PCP just gave me the referral and left the rest to the surgeon. The way it should be left to a specialist Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

They all sound great and to think we can eat 2-3 oz and be full instead of eating a pound Enjoy Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Trust your doctors they have ways of getting you approved. After all they are the ones that went to med school not sume smuck sitting in a office that got his medical experience from watching TV or making TV ads for Meds that do more harm then good. Doctors have lost control of the medical field to Insurance Company's that are in it for profit. Big time profit more money in 1 month then most doctors make in 2 years (sounds fair right) besides Insurance company's know what's best for you Not some Doctor So we can all sleep better knowing that some dumb ass wearing a white shirt sitting in a office( sorry to anyone that wears a white shirt) who's only experience in the medical field is putting a band aid on his really nasty Paper Cut You will get approved give the doctors a chance.

You can do it. I was told I had to lose 15% of my weight or 20lbs as one off the requirements for WLS and maintain that for 6 months of weigh-ins. Cut out sugars carbs and salt and you will drop even more Good luck to you and your wife Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Please don't get me wrong with the right ingredients salads can become health and good for you loaded with Protein. If you like them and can keep them down and get your protein in go for it Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Why would you want to eat something that has no nutritional value except taste and if you have to cover it with some type of Fluid to make it taste better what's the point. Sorry maybe if I eat more salads I wouldn't need WLS. Again sorry Just being a butt head I can't stand salads Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Sorry to hear about your bad luck hope everything works out for you Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Who gets WLS should be left to DOCTORS not insurance company's Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Insurance company's are a profit Making busines and can be a pain to deal with. If they approve to many people their bottom line starts to look bad,not for the stock holders but for the corp big shots. I hold stock in insurance company's ,oil company's and most utility company's and when they make 10 billion dollars in a year Or more I don't see my stock dividends sky rocket ??? So we jump though what ever hoops the throw at us Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12
