Hey there!!!  Just wanted to say hey and it is great to see ya.  I haven't been on here in a while either.  And like you, I am looking for protein shakes.  I am specifically looking for one that Michelle Luv (Bynun) use to make with an espresso or cappucino mix that was so good.  I wanted to order the mix, but I have forgotten the name of it.  I hope you are doing well.  I will see if I can find some of Gina's shake recipes and get them to you.  I use to have a bunch of them.  

They should have a coordinator there that can give you the information ahead of time.  My surgeon had a website that provided all the information.

Each office is different.  Ask the surgeon's office for a checklist of the steps required before you can be scheduled.

I work at the University of South Alabama in the Health Services Foundation and work pretty closely with Dr. Richards and the bariatric team.  I had the surgery myself on 1/23/12 and lost 112 lbs. in 8 months.  I've been in maintenance the past 7 months.  If you have any questions or concerns or just want to talk about the surgery give me a call in my office at 251-470-1671 and I will be happy to talk to you!  Best thing I ever did!

Do your research-make sure you pick the best surgery and surgeon for you. Start exercising now. Weight loss surgery requires a complete lifestyle change FOREVER-but it is very doable! Check out the surgery specific boards and welcome!

Thank you so much. will keep you posted.

No sadly we have not. I knew the state board was a long shot but didn't want to miss any chance. The TN board is like this too.

I have called the Athens animal control and alerted them. We are praying that id it is God's will that she return that he facilitate her return to us in some way. if it is not His will that she return we hope He has already brought her across the rainbow bridge...

Thanks for checking in on her...

Hi all,

Was visiting our daughter in Elkmont yesterday,from Nashville.

Our elderly black lab,Glory travels with us. She left my daughters yard,while we were greeting all the grand children and never came back. We went door to door rode the streets,all to no avail.

She is medium size,blind with cataracts,and doesn't hear well. She takes 3 medications for seizure/stroke/spinal issues and she won't last long,about 2 days without these meds,paralysis will set in.

She is very friendly and will come in your house,get in your car and sit outside your door barking to come in.  She knows no strangers

She is wearing a red "flashing collar" but it is not turned on. She has a tag with "Seven Blessings" and our cell no on it.

If anyone in that area,Elkmont,near Athens,sees her or hears of her from someone else please pass this info on or please call.ask them to call us. she was lost in the Putman circle area.

Easter blessings to you all and please pray for Glory's safety and safe return to us.
