Please help me find a shake that tastes good.
SmallerMe replied to SydneyLouWho's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My favorites are Lean Dessert Protein Shakes! They are yummy!! I also ordered some powdered P-nut butter from Bell Plantation and that's great protein to add to milkshakes! -
approval to surgery time
SmallerMe replied to purplemoon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to my first seminar in Sept. Finally got ins approval last week. It took lots of calls to the ins co!! I can't get a surgery date until all my test results go back to the Dr. -
Test done before surgery
SmallerMe replied to lovingheart's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
nutritionist, psch, med records for the last 5 years. Monday I go in for ekg, x-ray, blood work, abdominal ultrasound and upper GI. All this has to be done before I see the surgeon. I just got my ins approval last week. -

New life here I come!!
SmallerMe replied to mindylouhoo's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I wish I had my date but I'm still waiting on ins approval.. slow, slow I've read a lot of posts and I think everyone gets nervous before surgery. I probably will, too. But it will all be worth it to lose the weight and keep it off for the rest of your life. I can't wait to get out of plus size clothes!!!!!!!!!!! -
I haven't had mine yet so I can't really advise you....but think about it and weigh the good and bad. I think the good will win you over.

New and trying to learn
SmallerMe replied to suekeysue52's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
fast or slow--as long as you're losing!!! -
I've been on a low fat diet since Sept. I'm still waiting on ins approval but I think I've got a good start! Everything I've read says it helps the liver shrink if you lose weight before surgery.
-
Buckeye, I'm glad to hear your surgery was easy!! Congratulations!!!! I'm still wondering if I can be alone after coming home from the surgery. Did you have any help or need any????

:clap2::clap2::clap2:Congratulations!!! Maybe I'll be next!!

Congratulations!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: -
I have an after surgery ??? I live alone and am very independant. Will I be o.k. by myself after surgery? I haven't planned on having anyone staying here with me.

I've gone thru all the process so I guess I'll just pay the 500. I certainly don't want to start over with someone else. I just wish the ins would hurry up and approve it so I can get a date!!

Melissa, .<br /> <br /> Who's doing your surgery? I'm going to Dr Woodman.<br /> <br /> I don't have my date yet but have been on a low fat diet for 3 mos. It's just hurry up and wait, wait, wait. I hope to have a Jan date. I've done all my nutrition and phsyc visits, now just waiting on ins to approve me. I was approved for bypass but now I'm getting the lap band so Ins has to approve this one.
