1st appointment tomorrow! What can I expect?



Recommended Posts

I have my consultation with the surgeon tomorrow. I was told that my surgeon requires me to do 2 support groups (done), attend the seminar (done), psych eval (also doing tomorrow) and the nutrional counseling (also doing tomorrow). My insurance United Healthcare doesn't really require much except to have a BMI of over 40, I do and a letter of medical clearance and of medical necessity (i have a call in to my pcp for both of those.) So, the receptionist said that the appointment usually lasts about 2hours. Can anyone tell me what to expect tomorrow? I'm all jittery but SO excited!!:rolleyes2:

Think of any questions or concerns that you have that you would like to discuss with your surgeon. Now is the time to do it.

I just had mine last week. All we did was go over my health.

I answered some questions, and it was determined if I needed to participate in a sleep study or not. As well as what to expect. I also asked some questions.

      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.
