Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Kathi, I was already warned about the thrush or thrash or whatever you call it. I have the meds for that packed in my duffle bag too. lol I hope we get to meet while in Durham also. Your weight loss is great. How are you feeling?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Hey Kathi, My name is Jada and I am a dental hygiene student. Be sure you rinse your mouth out with water after you use one of your lozenges because they usually have a high sugar content! I know it is not appropriate to brush after each one so the water will help. Congrats on your surgery! I am still waiting for insurance approval!
