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.

So Theres Like No Taste At All? Does It Change The Texture Of The Water? The Stuff I Have Doesnt Have Much Of A Taste But I Do Taste It A Tiny Bit And And The Texture Is A Bit Different. Then Again It Could Be Because I Throw It In My Crystal Lite Water. I Tried It In Plain Water But It Was Just A Sip I Gues I Could Try It Again Because I Already Forgot How It Tasted In Just Plain Water

Lisa - Tea Is A No No With Me Always Has Been Even Before Surgery. The Smell Of It Make Me Sick!!!!!!!!! Hun If I Drink Anymore Water I Will Float Away!!!

Kenya- I Just Drank Some Of It Again But In Plain Water And Now I Remember Why I Dont Like It. Its Weird But Ever Since I Had This Surgery I Cant Drink Plain Water!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes Me Sick!!!! Thats Why I Always Drink Crystal Light And It Didnt Go Well With The Crystal Light. So I Will Def Need Somthing In A Pill Form.

God I Used To Love Plain Water

You want to be careful not to take a laxative regularly because it will become addictive. I take Fiber Choice with Calcium chewables instead of a calcium chew. I also eat yogurt and veggies regularly.

Your doctor will also have some suggestions.

Im Not Looking To Take A Laxative. I Also Try To Eat Some Veggies But The Amount Of Veggies That We Consume With Our Small Pouch Is Not Enough For The Body. THANK YOU THOUGH
