Hello! Newbie here

I am hoping to be sleeved sometime this month. I am a self pay and going over seas to have the procedure done

My question is-- how do you do follow up? I don't have insurance, hence self pay, what can I do??

Hi there.....I was sleeved in Germany last October (while traveling!). I was also self-pay. I spent 8 days in the hospital (at Krankenhaus Sachsenhausen ). They treated me very very well; I was very happy with them and my surgeon, Dr. Weiner. After the surgery, I went back to Amsterdam for a month to rest and recuperate. I then went back to Germany for my 4 week check up and then, if you can believe this, started traveling throughout Europe for the next 6 weeks, then the US for 6 weeks after that. I did have to find a couple of clinics because I got a bladder infection; but other than that, I didn't have any problems other than just normal healing. Eating out all the time was interesting.....I just got back to Hawaii this week and had all my blood work done by my regular doctor. I have chronicled my entire journey on my weekly blog; it might be helpful for you to read that. It's at http://www.queenofcrop.com

Where are you having your surgery done?

      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.
