Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 HI Kathy G. thanks for sending me the papers re. your husband's approval. I'm a little scared because they mentioned not covering the mgb any more. I guess all I can do is try. Thanks so much, I'll keep you posted. barb dudley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi Barb: I'm glad you got the papers. I have been so busy. I meant to follow up with a call or e-mail to let you know they were sent. After I sent it to you, the same day we got another statement from Cigna. Denying my husbands surgery that they have already paid us for. I am totally going to ignore it...bizarre. I hope they don't try to get the money back...can they? I wouldn't give it to them, but it would be alot of aggravation. Keep me posted.... Kathy G./Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I found a great protein bar at Walmart the other day, it's called Pure Protein, 170 calories, 20 g of protein, no sugar and no trans fat. They taste good, in fact a co-worker tried some and liked it. A box of 6 will cost around $5.50. If allergic to nuts then stay away, it does have some peanut product.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi , Thanks for the info. I also found a Pure Protein shake at Trader Joe's that has 35 grams of protein in each shake. I really like both the chocolate and vanilla. Just FYI.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 hello all, what do y'all think about slimfast high protein bars for lap band patients? thank you in advance, tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well let's see, looking at the nutrition facts panel, it has 15g protein (good), <15g sugar (good--per AACE/ASMBS guidelines), 2g fiber (ok), 6g fat (we suggest <5), no sugar alcohols listed (good). Some pts like the taste, some don't. Some may find it kind of chewy and hard to "get down." Check the forum discussions on obesityhelp.com for pt reviews of other products.
