Hi Everyone,

I know that there are some of you sitting out there and are thinking "OK when the Holiday's are over and at the 1st of the year I am going to do something about my weight and being fat." Yeah you are thinking in the right directions. It is pretty normal to sit out there and read a LOT of posting on a lot of different sites. I sure did.

I know I checked out 3 or 4 sites because I KNEW that I needed to make some choice--it was now or never. I had after a little time pretty much made a choice to go to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. I just had to prove to myself that he was the "one" I wanted. So I started to read about a lot of other doctors too.

Some things I learned were NOT all doctors and hospitals are equal nor is their care. I learned that many do their surgery in a CLINIC not a hospital. They send you to a RECOVERY HOUSE not a Hospital to recover--and many of those so called Recovery Houses DO NOT have anyone there with medical training. They do not use the best staples if you are having a VSG--they use low quality. There is a reason why they charge less. You are getting what you are paying for. I do know it is a big step to pay for your own surgery and you might price shop around. Honestly this is the ONE time in your life I would like you NOT to price shop. Your life and health are on the line here. There are places that will give you a loan for this surgery. We are willing to make car payments--why not make "body payments." You are worth it and you deserve to have this surgery.

So Please ASK a LOT of questions when you are Going to have WLS. Read all the posts you can find to make sure you are comfortable with your choice.

I am always out here if you have any questions. I want you to be safe and be successful with your health and life. By the way I had Sleeve WLS 3 years ago lost 105 pounds and have kept it off.

Happy Holiday's

Suzanne

      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.
