How often do you see your surgeon?



Recommended Posts

Morning all,

I saw my surgeon 1 week after surgery because I was having a lot of pain where my lap band port was removed (I'm a convert). Then he said for me to come back in 3 months!

I can't wait to go back and show him all the weight I've lost and my appointment isn't until the third week of October!

How about you? When does your surgeon want to see you?

I saw the nurse practioner one week out. Then I've been back 3 times for nutritional classes and weigh in. I'm scheduled to see my surgeon in a couple of weeks which I will then be 3 months out.

I saw them every week for the first month. Then 3 months out since until I reach the year mark. Don't know what happens after that. I can't wait to show him that I will be at goal by then!!!

Congrats on your surgery. LIFE WILL GET BETTER EVERY DAY.

I saw my surgeon right after surgery in the hospital. I visited the clinic at one week, one month, three months and 8 months (then one year) and all those times I saw the nurse practitioner.

      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.
