...Call you?

Dr. Oliak has called me twice now.

Once 2 days B4 the surgery to see how I was doing and if I had any questions.

Today he called post-op to see how I was doing and if I had any questions.

Then He proceeds to tell me exactly what he did yesterday -- I was stunned.

I'm loving me some Dr. Oliak what a cool dude.

That's an awesome thing to have a surgeon with such great bedside manner. They are normal people too, which means that some just don't talk to others well. You got very lucky to have a surgeon with such an open personality!

Congrats and good luck on your journey!!

Yes, actually. Either he or one of his staff calls me a couple days after every fill to make sure I'm doing ok.

It's one of the many reasons I love my surgeon and his staff.

I'm very glad to hear you have a good one too!

Yes, I was surprised. The thing that boggles my mind is since approval my Insurance company calls me weekly. Every Monday morning the same RN calls to see how im doing, do I have any issues, hows the recovery, gives suggestions for post op and is very encouraging to me. I look forward to her call shes super nice and friendly. WEIRD (United Healthcare)

When I called united healthcare to see if they covered the surgery and what the requirements were, they told me "your going to be hearing a lot from us" lol and I have!

I love my doctor's office as well! His entire team is incredible! They called me 2 or 3 days post-op to check on me, see how I was doing, and to reinforce the importance of drinking even if it was difficult. I also have been there every week to 2 weeks since then! Having a doctor and team who truly cares about your well-being makes this entire experience that much better and more enjoyable! I'm happy you found a great doctor as well!!

Good luck to you!

      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.
