Hello, I'm 13 months out of my rouen-y bypass surgery and am very near my goal weight.  My primary physician says it is time that I start looking at plastic surgery.  Can anyone suggest a good plastic surgeon in the Kansas City area?  I have BCBS-Anthem and am going to try to get them to pay for the breast reduction and tummy tuck. 

Thanks!

I have a question about dumping. Has anyone else had problems dumping with Atkins protein bars? I was able to eat one earlier this week, but today dumped after eating one. It is a Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar 19 g protein, 1 g sugar, and 2g net carbs. I am 30 weeks pregnant...don't know if this has something to do with it or not. Any advice is welcome...

Hello from snowed in Tulsa,
Jan I wish the snow trucks plowed here like they do in Cedar Creek, the main roads finally opened up this morning but all the neighborhoods and side streets are packed with snow and ice and I doubt they will get plowed unless people pay for a private snowplow to come plow them out.  Our car is still buried, I been out a couple times today so far shoveling snow around it, hopefully by the end of the day I'll have to where I can at least move it, dunno if I can get it out of the parking lot here at the apt cuz its still a mess.  We ended up getting about 14in of snow here in Tulsa, the snow drifts around the car and against the buildings around here were as high as 4 to 5 feet, unreal!  Susan wasn't able to get to work yesturday but this morning a working with a 4 wheel drive came by and picked her up, no way a normal car can get out of the parking lot here.  I doubt school will be open at all this week, which makes for a shorter summer but its all good, I'd rather stay in where it's warm then try to drive out in this mess anyway.  Other then the snow things are going pretty good, we're both feeling good and all, I'm not doin so well on losing much, maintaining has been really hard too.  I found a good bariatric surgeon to see so to get all our blood work and stuff done and he's discovered I have a chemical inbalance which we are working on.  For some reason my testostrone levels were down to near nothing which he says can cause weight gain and body fat gain which has happened, no matter what I would eat, my body stored it like I was starving so next week I start testostrone shots and hopefully that will take care of that problem, he said that is why I was not able to lose weight like a normal RNY patient, who would of thought huh?  

Jan you and Joe becareful on your trip, have a great time though.  Let us know what ya find, we wouldnt mind going down that way for a visit sometime, sounds so nice.  Hope everyone is doing good despite the snow storms, hopefully we dont get another one of those for a longggg time!!  Y'all take care, stay safe and warm!!

Andy
