I start mine in a week...I just stopped coffee pre pre op diet...the head ache is insane...but I rather do it now before I start the diet...

Make sure you have a very experienced,highly rated surgeon whom you feel total confidence with.

Going from a failed lapband to a bypass....hoping the second time will be better...looking forward to not being invisible.....

Ugh...hope so

I had Amerihealth and was paying over a grand a month...they don't cover revision WLS...so what do they cover??? Ugh

1,2,3 get it done....you will be glad you did what you had to do.

A year???Dont worry time will go by fast...

One of the seminars I went to the speaker said she was so difficient that she had a iron/protein drip after she had a blood test and it was determined that she was not getting enough protein ....see your doctor have them do a blood test get a drip ...you are deficient.

I called the coordinator and she said sit tight she sees no problems..it is just a lot of people trying to have this surgery before the end of the year.Still I am in a wait and see mode

Taste pretty damn good! Not as bad as others that have that chalky aftertaste.It packs up to 32 grams of protein.Comes in a variety of flavors and unflavored.

Isopure They sell it at Amazon and The vitamin shoppe

They don't want to pay for anything!

I am soon to begin pre op diet and I bought the black and green tea isopure. I can handle it...I like the fact that it is clear liquid...and has protein.I plan to take it to the hospital.I hate Gatorade with a passion. High protein jello?Who carries it?

What kind of smell?

How do you feel?

Hi Pam I am going for a revision from a failed lapband to bypass.At 51 I know that the weight will be hard to come off..,but I gotta get it done...My doctor is Dr. Ness.I haven't told anyone except my parents...zi am so fat right now I feel invisible...I attended the hospital seminar and ....you are gonna laugh..I was the supermodel in the room!Everone was 2 to 3 times my size....I have to make this work.Being this overweight is just plain miserable...what procedure did you have done? I live near Princeton Who was your surgeon?

Did you get a letter or you mentioned you looked it up on line at the Horizon Nj website. ?? Now I am nervous.

One week???I will call the office today!!!!wow .lthanks for the heads up

Naw...just gonna wait a few more days....

This is why I am not letting anyone other than my parents know...too many opinions...get it done!Once and for all!!!You can do this...by Spring you will see the hard fought results...

Must be technical failure of some sort and you have to start over...track your weight,go see your primary and they will get you started.

Great!!!congratulations!!!!You are now an official loser!!!!

If you have your son why not have him there?

I have had surgery alone...your boyfriend will pick you up right?According to the facility the stay is generally 36 hours.You can do this...Have your phone ,mobile devices so you can talk to someone.My parents work and they are the only ones that are privy to my surgery.I will be dropped off in the morning for surgery and the next evening they will pick me up when I am to be released.In the meantime doctors and staff will be poking and prodding....

Yay!!!good for you!
