Guest guest Posted March 19, 2000 Report Share Posted March 19, 2000 , I'm with you. If we can pay 85-200$/mo why not pay that on a hospital bill for a few months & get it fixed once and for all. I know I've spent enough on the these drugs and programs to pay a full 4 years in college for one of my 3 sons and maybe all three if I really added it up over the past 30 years.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2000 Report Share Posted March 19, 2000 I am on Xenical and so far it has not been too bad. Depends come in handy when traveling and not able to stop when necessary, although I have not had aany problems as of yet. Been on Xenical 2 mths. Have lost 22 pounds and glad to have tried it.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 Funny Girl, HAve you checked into the eat right 4 your type?? It has a theory that certain people should eat certain things. Like I am an o Pos and O is the oldest bloodtype. So for me the hunter gatherer thing works for me ( meat and veggies and root veggies). I am convinced taht this is the way that my body works at optimum levels. If I eat a pasta dinner I feel it for days! It just makes me feel like I have lead in my butt! I just DRAG around. If I stick to the meat and veggies then my mental and physical self is much better off!I am hoping the MGB helps me stay in that group of food !

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 Interesting theory, I hadn't heard of it. :-) I'm pretty sure that I am insulin resistant. I crave carbos all the time, but if I sit down to a big load of them, I will literally pass out for a couple of hours afterwards. If I try to cut them out entirely like I did on the Atkin's diet, I got really sick. Something is definitely amiss. fg At 09:56 PM 03/20/2000 PST, you wrote: > > >Funny Girl, >HAve you checked into the eat right 4 your type??
