It's Finally Been Made Official!



Recommended Posts

Doctors office called me yesterday and finally told me my insurance has APPROVED my procedure! I started the whole process back in September 2011. Surgery is scheduled for August 27th. The one question I was asked and don't have an answer is- which band?! I have NO clue! I am Super excited!

My doctors office said the bands are basically the same EXCEPT the Realize band is more forgiving.

I went with the Realize because I don't want the band to tell me what I can and can not eat.

That is a choice I want to make for myself.

I am three months out tomorrow with two fills and I have had trouble eating steak and roast beef but nothing else. So I just cut it smaller and chew it more.

Good luck to you on your journey.

My sister works for Allergan, who makes a band. I've read lots of Allergan findings and lab studies and have selected a surgeon who uses the Allergan band. As the band is only a tool, either band is good, but only as good was when we work to achieve our goals. Be positive!

      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.
