Moving. One Last Visit??



Recommended Posts

I had LB surgery in 7/2011 and have so far been extremely pleased with the results. I have lost nearly 70 pounds, found a lot of confidence, and the love of my life. I also got a super great job. Life has been very good to me.

My only question is whether I should visit my surgeon one last time??

I am moving out of state to join my fiance. I will be changing insurance companies and my surgeon will be >500 miles away. I am not in need of a fill ( I had three and have a decent level of restriction; my last fill was in November of 2011.) and I am not having any problems other than the occasional left shoulder pain when i over do it on my food intake. My current insurance runs out at the end of the month when I move away. I don't know if it would be beneficial just to see my surgeon for a check up???

Also, does anyone know of any surgeons in Columbus OH who sees out of state lap banders?

It would not hurt to meet with your surgeon for an additional check up. It might even be a good idea for you to ask their advice about seeking out a new surgeon in the area you will be relocating to.

Other than that, you will need to make some phone calls to locate a surgeon who will accept patients whose surgery was done elsewhere. I know that mine does, but from what I've read, he is the exception and not the rule for this policy.

Best wishes...

      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.
