Absolutely because you don't know what you are going to expect. You'll probably have these boughts of nerves all the way up to the day of your surgery. It's perfectly normal. You will be fine though. The consult is nothing at all. He will go over the surgery, talk to you about what to expect. PLEASE ask many questions. And tell you what you will need to have done before your surgery date is set.

Good luck to you and congratulations on the start of your journey. Be sure to read as much as possible at this point and ask many questions. Keep us all posted.

I remember being nervous but excited too. My advice would be definitely to ask questions, but write them down tonight, so you can keep a level head and find out the information you need to know.

NERVOUS!? I started CRYING! My doctor was so laid back and seemed so positive about this surgery for me that I think I was just so happy and nervous and couldnt help it but cry. He also showed me a before and after picture of a girl my age (22) and said the reason why she wanted surgery was so she could date. Her after picture was the night of before going on her date and I couldn't believe how happy and half the size she was. She reminded me of myself looks, size, and how I would of taken that picture pose. I havn't gotten the surgery yet Im waiting for approval and doing the 3 month diet so hopefully by DECEMBER! :rolleyes2:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
