Well, since I hadn't tried to buy it for personal use yet, I didn't know it took a doctors prescription. I would suppose that your Mom could get a prescription from her doc then. Just take him some information from the web site on how good it is for skin, since she is having problems with her skin. A lot of older folkes have skin that tears easily, and the extra nutrition would be wonderful for them. It isn't high in calories, so she wouldn't have to worry about weight gain. From what I've read of the ressearch though, it can help to promote lean body mass, which a lot of older folkes need. I'll have to see about getting an order in and see if they ask for a prescription. A cs. is 24 bottles. At $1.99 a bottle, it may be considered a little expensive. She could probably just drink one a day or one every other day and get good results and stretch her use of it out. They sent us double cases, of 48, but I would imagine that they can break them in to 24 a cs. I was planning to order a cs.

I joined last summer, but haven't made up my mind yet. My insurance doesn't cover anything for weight loss. Actually, I'm working on an island near the philippines and so, I'm planning to have, whatever I decide on, done their. It would be much too expensive to fly back to the states. Also, they are doing something called the bibb. Different procedure, non-invasive, not approved in the states yet. It is like putting a balloon in your stomach. Last for about 6 months, much cheaper then the lap. Anyone else hear of this? I think they have started studies on it in the states, but I'm not sure. I guess it is pretty common in some countries and pretty cheap too. It is probably going to be next December before I have the money saved for whatever I decide on. I have a big trip planned in September which is going to drain my account. So, December is probably the earliest that I can do anything. Recovery is a lot faster with the bibb too. They want you to stay over-night for observation, but that isn't considered necessary. I'd feel more comfortable with it though. The balloon wears out in six months and has to be removed. Figured I could do this 3 or 4 times and not spend the same as the lap would cost.

Forgot to mention, it is a whey protein.

How interesting. Coincidentally, I've spent most of my day at work trying to get a purchase order for patients so we could get a new product started. I work in a hospital dietary dept. We received free samples of a product called ProNutra and I gave it to some of my patients that had trouble with wound healing. The healing was amazing. You can look at their web site for more info. I think it is pronutra.us I tasted the product when it arrived, and it has a mild orange flavor. Even though I haven't had a lap yet, (still considering what to do), I'm planning to order this product. Absorption of the Protein is great and it increases glutathione levels which is hard to increase. Promotes healing. I have one patient that said she feels stronger, and she didn't have any wound, just felt very weak and in a lot of pain. Didn't change the pain level. No, I'm not selling the product, am not associated with the company. Just impressed and wanted to share. This is definitely what I'm going to use, and I'm going to try to get it for my patients too.
