So I went in today for a consult today. They verified my insurance covers the procedure, I was told I only need a nutrition consult and psych eval. And I scheduled both for tomorrow! The dr. was awesome! I really felt comfortable with him. He asked how soon I wanted surgery done and I said as soon as possible and he replied 'well we will try to get it done this month!' *Fingers crossed*. I also started a vlog on YouTube where I will be documenting my journey

Oh wow! I wish all I needed was just two visits. I'm done with all tests now on Wednesday I have to go and see a pulmonary specialists so that she/he can review my tests with me. If everything is a go, then all paperwork will be sent in to BCBSIL!!!! Congrats! I hope I'm a June bandster but I can settle for July.

      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.
