It may seem like there are a lot of hoops to jump through, but it's all for a reason - they want to make sure people who have surgery are willing to do what it takes... and they also need to know a lot about your health to make sure you are healthy enough for surgery and that they can get you through it. Just hang in there - it will all be worth it in the end! :drool:

It does seem like it takes a long time, but it's worth it. I started my process in March and won't be having surgery till October hopefully.

I am trying to go through my insurance so that takes 6 months of a doctor supervised diet plan. I am now in month two. I was really frustrated when I first heard of the diet requirement but it's going by well and it gives me the time to research exactly what I need to do after surgery to make it a success.

And the medical clearances are there for your own safety as well as to cover the doctor. It's better to know going in if you have any conditions that may make your recovery more difficult. It's a lot easier to anticipate something and have it treated before going under anesthesia. Than having something happen and need to fix it after it's happened.

The sleep apnea issue is actually a really important one. The complication risks of undiagnosed sleep apnea can be horrific so it's better to know if you have it and get it treated with a CPAP before surgery. And a lot of people have no idea they have it until they have a sleep study done.

Hope my rambling helps at least a little.

      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.
