I haven't had surgery yet, but have had one with my first daughter and my second c-section with my quadruplets. I also had gall bladder surgery and various abdominal fertility surgeries. Given all that, my doctor will be doing an abdominal MRI and/or catscan to see where the scar tissue is etc. instead of risking complications in the O.R.

Bonus! LOL

The third question began with "if insurance..." but I agree on your other point, given the stringent criteria that must be met to be deemed a "Center of Excellence" it just seems the smarter/safer route to go.

Has anyone ever used or heard of omnifast? I have to be on 4 weeks of liquid meals (3 a day) prior to surgery and that is the name of the supplement I have to purchase from the bariatric clinic. I was wondering about cost and taste/flavors. Also, I have a flex health spending account through my employer that I think will pay for the omnifast as it is required for surgery, although I suspect it will require a medical necessity letter from my dr.

Just getting started, hope I'm posting in the correct place. All my deets are in my sig line as far as where I'm at in the whole sleeve process Nice to meet everyone!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
