Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Someone posted the other day that these were being discontinued. I use a powdered calcium citrate that I mix with food or shakes. 700mg per level tsp, and brand is NOW. Available at nutrition stores or online.

I use the chewable calcium tabs from GNC, they are cherry flavored. They have both calcium citrate and calcium carbonate in them.

Yep - Mission Pharmaceuticals sold "Citracal" to Bayer and it seems that they will continue with the Citracal-D but not the Citracal Creamy Bites.

Shame cause I found them easy to eat early out.

I now use UpCal-D from vitalady.com It's a powder you put in your drink. I alternate that with the Citracal-D pills - although I'm cleared for tablets, I can crunch them with no trouble - they're just a bit chalky.

I heard the bad news about the citracal creamy bites at my WLS group last week, very sad news.
