Sad thing is I read like crazy and have to read pages over again cause the mind starts to wander. So it wasn't you. Good luck in the journey and keep posting so we know whats going on.

Found the link. The have a 16 pack variety pack that is 20 bucks. Not sure if that is expensive or not but it does give you a chance to try different flavors. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html

My advice is to get as many samples as you can. That way you haven't invested in a big canister and didn't waste money if you don't like it. I have a sweetner allergr so I used 4 oz of Ensure (regular) and 4 oz. of soy milk (milk turned out to be a no-no for me after surgery. Tore the pouch up something fierce.) and a scoop of unflavored protein. Got me through the liquid phase. Never touched that shake after either. Not as much variety as I would have wanted. I now can tolerate more sugar and use Spirotein (I think that's how it's spelled) and they have great flavors. I know of a place that has root beer float. If I can find the link I will post it for you. I have heard those are good.

Topic: RE: Now what?
My computer is down and I haven't been on here in a week, that's why I am just now responding. I don't regret my bypass at all. I have had a rough road with being sick for almost the entire time since surgery (blockages, gall bladder, blood pressure issues) but I would do it over again in a heart beat. As sick as I have been I am still healthier than I was pre-op.
I do know this is a personal decision that only you can make. Good luck in what ever you decide.

Hi Tammy! I was reading your profile to get up to speed and it sounds like you've had quite a challenging journey. But you've really done soooo well. I can understand why you want to have the revision. I spent a long time flip-flopping between band or RNY and finally decided that if I was going to go through all of this I might as well make it permanent and gut altering cause I KNOW that will power, consistency and self control are NOT my strong suits. I know in my head what I'm getting myself into but I'm absolutely terrified that on the other side of this the reality will be much harder to deal with. I plan on having a good therapist on speed dial! Once I can find one that I like any way.
Ok. Thanks for the welcome. This is gonna be fun, fun, fun!!!

Topic: RE: post-op surgery medicaid approval?
I don't know the answer to your specific question but have some thougths to share:
Usually insurance will only cover things that are medically needed - breast augmentation is usually not a medically needed procedure I would think (but there are always exceptions).
Did you try calling the hospital and call one of your old doctors associates? Perhaps the doctor that you are using for follow-up from you RNY would be helpful....
Good luck!

Welcome Joie! Since you've been lurking you might know that I recently have decided to get revision surgery so I am going through all the emotions all over again! 
We will probably have surgery very close together - I've been told I'll probably be getting my RNY in May or June....
Anyway - best of luck to you on your journey - and welcome to the CT OH Forum!
