i've read a lot of people like the premier Protein chocolate shakes the best. I haven't tried them yet but on my list.

contact your HR dept at work. they should be able to tell you if it's covered by the policy they purchased.

i had my gb out in laproscopically in 1994.......showing my age..........i went boogie boarding in hawaii about 10 days later :-)

I'm Lisa by the way

you click on the person's name and go down to where it says add as a friend......sometimes it doesn't let you. I tried to add the other posters on this thread and it didn't let me. So excited to have someone to go through this with!

i asked my surgeon if he could put an ng tube down in surgery so i wouldn't have to drink the barium because i didn't think i could do it........he laughed and said that was the funniest request he had ever gotten :-) but no worries because he said he makes sure i'm not leaking before i leave the OR so i don't have to have one

i'm hoping for a date the last week of July...........I would love to follow along with you..........my last nutrition appt will be June 30 so depending on insurance..........

i am going to Dr Hoehn for a gastric sleeve also. Hopefully will get my surgery around the middle/end of July if approval from insurance goes as planned. I'm in Wichita so I am making frequent trips to KC for my appts with the dietician. Next month I will see the psychologist and dietician the same afternoon.. I wanted to make sure that everything was done right so the drive is worth the effort. I felt comfortable with him. I really liked the dietician as well. Case Manager is growing on me. We'll see how smoothly the process goes and then i'll decide :-)

I've been following posts on this site for a while now and I finally went today for my consultation with the surgeon. This is such a long process so I am only in the beginning stages............Biggest issue is insurance approval...........bmi is high enough now but not for the past 2 years.........and I'm borderline on all of my comorbids...............hopefully all combined will shoot me over the top........if not.........i'll cash pay. Thanks in advance for all of the advice and the wonderful success stories that keep me motivated!!

I hope everything went great for you!
