I booked my surgery today!! April 19 is my band date!!! I am excited to have finally made the decision, but after I got off the phone I sort of starting freaking out!!! Please tell me this is normal and at least some of you have always felt this way!! I have been reading and researching and praying and pro and cons, and I decided this was the best decision for me, so now that it is a reality why am I freaking out???

Totally Normal, and it is about a 30 minute surgery. Not a big deal at all so relax........ Go to you tube and see what's done. It's really nothing.

Your emotions are normal. We work so hard to get that surgery date and once all the push and shove is done, the reality of it all starts to settle in. It is an exciting and frightening time. Take time to breathe and know that we are here to help in any way that we can. April will be here in no time!

      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.
