I'm sure they offer some sort of express delivery. It will inevitably cost more but that's what happens when you wait until the last minute.

Best wishes

I did the appt way back in January not realizing it needed to be ordered; and your post didn't really help honestly, but thanks anyways I guess......

Omfgmelly I hope you find what you need. Best of luck. And btw get use to the fact that there will be some very unnecessary and unhelpful posts.

No offense' date=' but we can't help. You either have to pay for the express delivery or call your doctor's office to see if they have other options.[/quote']

I'm not offended, lucky for me I have a co worker that has had the lap band and she just gave me a box and is Given me 2 more tomorrow- I didn't mean to be rude my apologies

I know, I'm just so flustered and the quitting smoking and finding this out last minute got to me.

I'm not sure what Medifast is? If it's a Protein supplement for Pre-op then can you find something locally that is comparable to it? Or call the office and see what they will suggest. GNC carries a Full Meal Replacement sup. and Isopure Plus Nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein. yes, some posts are less then helpful.

Check on Amazon lots of times they have stuff cheaper and free shipping.

I will do that today especially bc I just got lucky getting a couple of boxes that will last me till my surgery, so I will order today!

Yes, let's pretend that posts like, "best of luck" as being helpful?

The only obvious answer was express delivery.

Actually your wrong, just got a call from my doctor of other options, but I guess that was my fault for not calling them first instead of posting. Thanks for your reply regardless.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
