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.

Kim,

Although it shows that under the tablets, I think they're referring to their liquid protein as it quotes "15 grams in a small 1oz dose".

I've just looked up the tablets - you'd have to eat those babies like M&Ms if I'm reading this right - 1g protein per tablet?

For what it's worth, I got a sample of Proteinex direct from Llorens. Got to say, all 3 samples were THE worst tasting. It's free and some of you may like it - you may even get samples of the tablets.

it is hydrolyzed protein...which is the same type of protein getting a bad rap in PROFECT....they say 15 grams...but I'm curious if you would actually get that much from it (or is it just hype marketing like PROFECT?)

The 15g protein shown on the link Edie posted is wrong. That refers to the Proteinex liquid protein.
