    Rant Genepro Protein Shills

    I am in no way a vendor or affiliated with the GENEPRO company. I do agree with you about all the reviews not only for this product but others as well. But I took a chance with Genepro, I must say I was very impressed. I 3 vendors took the bag to my ARNPC who is my program coordinator. We sit and looked up each ingredient she was impressed with it as well. Her only concern was one of the ingredients is used to treat anarexia. She advised just to be vigilant about watching your weight and not using it as your soul source of Protein. I first tried it in just plain Water to test the no taste and no smell. I mixed on scoop with 16 Oz of water. It doesn't dissolve real quickly but it does. It looks like water downed milk in the water. But for me there was no smell and no real taste in the water. But you do have to keep it stirred up cuz if not then it might be a little gritty but still no taste. The $38 is a little pricy but average price for a decent Protein powder. So anyways that's my opinion of it and I currently use I scoop a day. Again I have nothing to do with the company and this is just on own personal review.

    Where are the November Sleevers?

    What insurance do you have? If you have Medicare, medicare doesn't pre approve for most procedures. But if you meet the requirements than most likely they will pay the 80 percent.

    Had my EGD on Monday, which was my last requirment. It went well. Scheduled to see my surgeon on 10/16 and hope to have my actual surgery date by end of October / first of November. I have Medicare so I did not have to have the 6 month nutrition classes. So super excited. Getting so anxious, a little nervous about infections but I have faith that everything will be fine.
  15. I just had my EGD a couple days ago. Seen my primary dr today and will see my surgeon on 10/16. All requirments have been completed and hoping to have my surgery date in early Nov. A few concerns about infections since I do not have a spleen but I have faith that all will be fine. So excited to get things going on this journey.

    The next couple of weeks will busy for me, but yet the antcipation of getting everything acomplished and all pre-op requirements completed. My psych eval and nutrition class are next week and my EGD is on the 29th. Still doing water phsyical therapy with hopes of being more mobile by the end of the month. so excited to be on this journey!
  17. I was in the process of looking for a thread of a clothing exchange post, and seen this. I live on a fixed income from SSI so having resources like this are great. I could certainly use them. And I continue to pay it forward with all my outgrowing clothing.

    Hi everyone, I'm from Lawton, OK. I had my first Dr. Visit on 8/28/14 with Dr. Michael Sawyer with Lawton Bariatrics. Lab work and sleep study completed. Scheduled for an EGD on 9/29/14. I will be having the gastric sleeve surgery providing my EGD shows no complications. I had a pretty major trauma surgery almost three years ago, so my doctor just wanted to see how things are since I had my spleen and 10 feet of intestine removed. I'm super excited to start this journey in getting some degree of my life back. Long story that stems of why I had to have major trauma surgery. Welcome to any and all support and feedback.
