Default Ragdolldude-letter of introduction

Hi, I'm new here. I attend 3 bariatric support group meetings per month, and try to keep current knowledge. I found a good source of vitamins and food data on The World's Healthiest Foods . My story is at Dave's bariatric surgery . I would be glad to answer questions privately or in a forum. Hope I'm welcome here, as I enjoy speaking about my surgery progress. I know there are lots of questions from new pre op or post op people. I strongly urge you to attend support group meetings to meet other RNY patients face to face, and share experiences. I used to work construction, and a common saying was " you have to be smarter than the tool you're working with". The surgery is only a tool--you have to use your mind to make the right decisions to make the tool work properly. BTW, my first name is Dave.

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.

Glad to share. Tips on protein: 1/4 cup of dried peas has 6 grams of protein. Flavored tortillas at local markets have 5-7 grams of protein per tortilla. Use string cheese, split apart, rolled in flavored tortilla, microwave for 30 second, and protein cheese burrito.

Welcome to the board and I want to learn as much as I can and thank you for the tips on protein and sure would welcome lots more tips from you. Like someone said here that we are like sponges and I want to soak up as much as I can to learn more things. You are almost two years out and there is alot we can learn from you. I am just so excited to learn more new things about eating or anything else that will work for us, to lose the weight and to use our tool for a successful journey.
We live so far away from a support group and once my daughter gets settled in with her job she is thinking of starting up a support group, last fall my daughter and her family moved closer to us and it is real close for us to go for a support meeting once she starts to set it up, right now she is just so busy with her new job and getting settled into there new apartment for now, later on they want to buy a home. So this is my support group and I would never be this far without the help of these wonderful people. I am so thankful I found this site and have given me so much help on my journey. I just thank God for leading me to this site.
I have noticed that there are alot of newbies, that is just wonderful and we can learn from them too when they have expeience we never thought of. I AM JUST SO EXCITED ABOUT MY JOURNEY WITH ALL THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are such an inspiration to us all.
