Things Are Starting To Finally Look Up For Me!



Recommended Posts

I started my journey of trying to get sleeved in January of 2011. I finally went to see my nutritionist and exercise specialist (for the 3rd time) this past Wednesday. The exercise specialist wasn't in the office that day, so I didn't get to talk to her. But the nutritionist said I was doing wonderful, and that she was clearing me for surgery. We agreed that the exercise specialist would call me next Wednesday afternoon for a follow up, keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have to actually go see her, but just talk to her on the phone and go off of my chart that the nutritionist took notes on. After the appointment there I went straight to my Psychologist appointment. I had an interview face to face with her. She was wonderful, and I seemed to give her all of the answers she was looking for. She asked me what two proverbs meant, the first was "explain to me the proverb 'the grass is greener on the other side.'" And the second one was what does the proverb "don't cry over spilled milk" mean. So I must have given her great answers. Before she took me to the testing room, she said that from what we had talked about I was cleared for surgery, but I had to take a 567 question test before I could be completely cleared. It asked me strange questions that I guess I would have never expected. Some of them yes, but others I was completely in awe. So I left and then finally got a call back on Friday (yesterday) and she told me that after receiving the results from my test, I was completely cleared for the psych eval.!! I am so stoked!! Now I am keeping my fingers crossed that the exercise specialist will clear me without having to see me again, and also hopefully the insurance approval will go quick. I am really hoping to have my surgery within the next month or so.. wish me luck!!!

Good luck! I had to take the 550 question exam too it was so very strange. I would love to know what it would mean if i did like reading home magazines.

      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.
