Hi. I actually did my journey backwards, I approached an in-network surgeon first. And then he referred me to the weight loss center and they guided me through the requirements.

I had to have a lot of patience as things did move very slow at first and once I had my requirements I did everything I could at a quick pace.

The psych exam was painfully expensive as it cost $250 for a one hour consultation to make sure I did not have any impeding psychological issues that would prove this procedure as not being right.

My suggestion would be to let things happen naturally, stay on top of your own requirements and before you know it things will be happening faster than you may be ready for!

Good luck.

The program that I went through did all of these prereq. for me at each visit. I had a 3 month medical supervised wait for insurance requirements and I didnt meet the surgeon until the week b4 my scheduled surgery.

In a holding pattern waiting on insurance.:(

      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.
