| Administrator  |  No More FREE Samples Well folks I just got a very sad call from the awesome people at Bariatric Advantage. Seems that their generosity with free samples has been exploited across the internet. Links to the sample pages were sent out across the net and they were recieving tons of sample orders from "Get Stuff Free" sites. No one here was abusing it, but they have no idea how to tell a potential customer from a "get stuff free" person. What thay have told me, was that if you have a sample request in, it will be fulfilled. They are considering putting sample flavors of items in with regular orders. Folks making these medical grade supplements is sooo expensive, making a tough choice like this was their only choice other than factoring it all into higher prices. I know you understand, and apprciate your continued support.

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | It is such a shame that people abuse things like this. There are so many greedy people and not trustworthy people out there. I am glad to hear we dont have any here!!!  ANd i agree with Lisa, placing samples in with orders is good business!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | It is so sad that in this world so many ruin good things for all. Why do people have to be so greedy? It is so unfair to those of us who benefit from trying these samples before actually buying the products and finding we don't like them or can't use them.

Height: | I am glad to hear that they are going to include free samples with orders at least. That helps a lot. It is too bad that people abuse the free samples that have no idea or need of what they are getting. Janae |

| Super Moderator  | Awfully sad that the Internet is the stage for so many scammers and spammers, when it's such a wonderful tool for bringing together so many people who would otherwise have not met. We must thank Craig and Bariatric Advantage for having made the effort. If there only was a way to apprehend and punish those who abuse the sites. Going off topic, since you are posting, Janae, I gather you are home safe and sound. Do give us a note on how you are doing, ((((((HUGS)))))) to you on your losing journey!
