I met with surgeon & pa and did the pre-op physical today. My insurance has not yet approved the band...so I called them & the hospital never sent over my packet. I have surgery scheduled for a week from tomorrow so it will probably get delayed due to this oversight. Just a word of warning-if you are waiting on insurance approval-be sure to call them to make sure they received the paperwork! They faxed mine to insurance today but due to the short time frame surgery date cannot be guaranteed. I'm so disappointed since everyone at work scheduled their vacations around my surgery to help me out...now I feel like I put everyone out!

Still no approval. Insurance is suppose to contact us today. It's July 2. My surgery is scheduled for July 5. I'm on pins/needles & sick to my stomach.

Today is July 3- no approval yet. Its under clinical review and they talk to noone but the doctors. If we don't hear by end of day then surgery will be cancelled. I wish this wasn't the case. There is no way to be prepared for this let down. It's a major upset as I've been working towards this goal since Dec 2011. I've not missed an appt and I've not cheated yet sometimes even doing everything right~things still go wrong.

      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...

        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.
