Dr Higa is awasome... only thing is he is busy with surgeries sometimes at least that is what they said.. My seminar was in Feb 2018 and my first appointment was in April 19 2018.. It took me a little over a year to do all the requirements but because I had to see other specialist for my sleep apnea.. and I finished my last prerequisite on April 3rd they submitted to my insurance on the 24th of April and I got approved last monday... I choose the operation date of 8-2-19.. but the had am open appointment may 2nd that they could of done my sleeve Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

Same here I didn't shout it from the roof tops.. I did tell my mom and siblings about it when I first started the process with my doctor and wife.. I just told my employees at work 2 months ago and they have been nothing but positive.. all in all 15 family members know and my work crew Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

So I've been trying to cut back my normal breakfast and get use to not eating a normal meal.. I'm pretty good at skipping breakfast but I know with the operation you need your protein intake... This is what I'm having for the next 3 months Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

I've been reading and reading ever since my primary recommended it back in Feb. 2018... I seen my Sleeve doctor on 4-19-18 and was approved this month.. It's just that my Dr said no need for dropping.. Thanks for the advise.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

So I just got approved after a while year of doing test and labs.. my insurance wanted lots of reasons for me to get it.. like if being 36 with w weight of 540 was not enough and constant knee pain.. BUT I'm happy to say that it will happen in August reason being Ok I want to enjoy the summer and not get supper dehydrated during the summer months... My doctor said not to worry about losing weight but I want to make it as easy as can be for them how did you shrink your liver what kind of diet did you do 2 months before the sleeve Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

Have you tried Isopure zero carb protein... that's the one I finally was able to tolerate for more than one meal... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

Everyone is different and how did you do before surgery?.. Your body is probably still in save mode.. it's trying to adjust to the fewer calories and then it will do it's job and drop those pounds Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats.. I just scheduled my surgery date for 8-2-19.. it's too hot in California I fear I would get dehydrated if I do it this month... and my son turns 2 in July I wouldn't want to miss his big day... so 2 weeks after his bday I'm going under Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727AZ using BariatricPal mobile app
