hi donna: my name is karen, open rny 12 2 02... down 103 lbs... :o) regarding the tummy tuck and insurance approval... this is very similar to our wls surgery... the more wrong with you, the less the insurance is inclined to deny the procedure. i had a tummy tuck a few years ago before i knew about wls... insurance paid... here's how i documented: 1. i have had documented low back problems for years. i had an orthopedic doctor write a letter explaining how the hanging skin was pulling my low back out of alignment. he more or less stated that it was either relief from a tummy tuck now, or low back surgery down the line in the future... tummy tuck $6,000. low back surgery $30,000 and up. 2. i also had a hernia which needed surgery. 3. there is a condition called 'maceration'. a maceration is anything (usually skin on skin contact) that provokes irritation and eventually skin infection. my apron of skin laying over my lower tum was just such a situation. (that's pronounced 'mass-er-a-tion') there are other situations that your plastic surgeon might find with your case to add to the list here... good luck, karen

<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. (unknown author)FROM MY HEART TO YOU ~*~Hugs~*~</b>

I read your post about Protienex. I have the liquid kind. It tastes horrible by itself, but I simply mix the 2 tbsp. with a little bit of sugar free kool aid and it goes down just fine. I did not know they had the pill form, I'd love to try that! In my opinion, it's a great product. Best to you.
