    New York Times must read article.

    Yup.....I could NOT wake up to save my life. I heard people around me and was kind of in and out of it. The nurses were upset with me because I wasn't sipping water and couldn't walk. They tried to make me get out of bed and walk and I mostly stumbled and it took 3 of them to hold me up and they...

    @southernlady My friend has part C with the prescriptions. It's through Pacific Source. Dr Simper is out of the network but his office got him approved to see Dr Simper because there isn't a surgeon in the network that provides an RNY to DS revision. I'm hoping they don't give him a lot of flack...

    He is on disability due to the tracheostomy and a few other physical barriers that would be either extremely alleviated or completely gone as a result of DS surgery. So....I'm not sure which Medicare he has....He said he has parts A, B, C, and D....whatever that means. He has an appointment with...

    Dr. Simper has seen my friend and talked with him a few times. He was with me at all the classes and when I went for my surgery and each of my doctor visits with him. Dr. Simper has already agreed to take him on as a patient.....It's just an insurance game now.

    He has Medicare and they have approved his initial visit with Dr. Simper. He has a tracheostomy due to severe sleep apnea that no cpap can keep up with, and his blood sugars are all over the place and his heart is enlarged from the sleep apnea and his weight. We are hoping that the administrator...

    Thank you @Marquis Mark. I expect there will be a big change with my first labs and some rearranging adding of vites with my first labs. I will definitely post then here with my vitamin regimen.

    Calcium and Magnesium: Together or apart?

    I TRY to do that. Sometimes I sleep though the 3 AM alarm so I take it as soon as I wake up and then the PPI and probiotic about 30 minutes to an hour later and only drink water during that time. I know it's not ideal, but I get it in me. When I was consistently taking it at 3 AM my thyroid labs...

    Calcium and Magnesium: Together or apart?

    No typo....I take one thousand of K2 MK7. And it's only 2 pills. In the USA you can only buy 120 mcg tablets. I order from a place in the UK that sells 500 mcg tablets that are really easy to swallow. My lap band messed up my PTH really bad and I have terrible knee pain. When I started taking...
