Well, I don't have a whole lot of advice on what to ask. I kind of just went with the flow of what my dr was telling me about my surgery options..I of course chose the VSG. As he was explaining things, I had some questions pop into my head..I'm sure you will too. But as for what all was done on my first visit, I spoke to the nurse about everything, told her the type of work I do, etc. Then I spoke with the dr and he explained my options and drew pictures. Then went for labwork, and setup my appointments for psych eval & nutrition class. That was all done on my first visit. :) hope this helped a little! Good luck!

Not sure what your first consultation is referring to. My first step in the process was to attend the educational seminar. They went over each surgery- pros and cons etc! Good luck with your visit!

      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...

        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.
