Finally Doing This.......



Recommended Posts

I have contemplated having the surgery for 3.5 years. I kept telling myself that I could lose weight on my own and didn't need to spend a small fortune to have the procedure done. Well, 30 lbs heavier I have decided enough is enough. I go to the seminar on May 31. I will be a self payer, my insurance doesn't cover the surgery. I hope to have surgery the first week of July. I am feeling more confident everyday about it and the fact that I am paying for it bothers me less and less. My quality of life has to get better.

Congratulations on a great move. I, like you, decided enough is enough. I want to get back my high school weight. Well, that may be pushing it a bit, but I'm certainly tired of all this extra baggage I've been carrying around for to long.

I get to meet my doctor & his team at Swedish Hospital tomorrow.

You're going to be SO happy you did this! I was self-pay as well and I'd do it all over again, even if it was double the price! I feel like a new person! Good luck!! :)

If money is an issue, think about having it done in Mexico. As low as $4,500 There are a lot of people hear that went that way. With all my research I have done, I feel you get better and safer out come in Mexico. The one thing you will still need is a support team back at home. As in your PCP and a Nut. Good Luck

      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.
