to increase odds of getting approved for surgery Is the only reason I choose the dietitian related to lb A good body building nutrition is the sane thing. After the fact I agree with above protein. I too love premier protein shakes from SAMs club. I maintain 70+ gms a day up to 100+. Lean meats that you tolerate. Not sure they gave a plan of liquids increasing up to soft foods then reg diet but you should let me knw and if not I'll post general weeks on each.

Congrats to lady that lost 120 lbs I'm so sorry to Richardson it's so sad that for some reason the band doesn't work for some people for what ever reason. I hope you have had fill under flore scope to check for leaks. I have heard that for some people they never get restriction. Not sure why. I hope you find some way to resolve your wt issue as you want to. Also have you had X-ray to see if band was placed correct or sloped. I knw all of this cost money I wish you good luck

Completely Devistated....vent
twi replied to Nikki Riviotta's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Sometimes it's all in wording. Call your insurance co and ask them to send you all criteria needed for approval of that surgery. I'm in med field and we have these problems getting pt approved for med nec procedures until we get the info from insurance to find the buzz words they are looking for. You would be surprised what one little word different in your wording will get you. Good luck to you! -
