Ok this sounds silly but here it is. I have an initial appt set up with Dr Barker on Thursday, but am able to attend a seminar for Dr Nicholson tonight. I feel guilty about doing this for some reason. I know I shouldn't be. I deserve to have the best dr my insurance will cover.

I say go to the surgeon you want as long as he is covered by your insurance. He would not feel guilty if he had to deny you for some reason. Plus this is your body, not his you do what want, and don't think twice about it.

It may be worth attending the seminar tonight, if only to get more information. I have spoken with three surgeons so far, and they have all given different info and had various advice to give. The more opinions you can get the better in my opinion! xx

I went to the seminar last night and really happy that I did. I found the person I want to go with for my surgery. Now the long process of getting it approved through insurance.YIKES One step at a time. I am happy with my decision though.

      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.
