Tomorrow won't get here fast enough - it's my last of the 'dreaded' 6 month visits - office told me at this appointment we will schedule the surgery and send all the docs off to the insurance company. I have triple checked all the requirements and have met every one (BMI 41, diabetic, high cholesterol+all the necessary testing), so I'm not expecting any surprises as long as the doctors office sends in everything correctly (reading some of these posts have gotten me worried, must be the OCD in me...)- I will be asking them to CC or BCC me on the email that they send to insurance company and request that they also email me once they get a claim # assigned by UHC. That way i can be on top of things.

I have been so excited - my boss is excited - my family is excited - some co-workers are excited and some make the rude comments about taking the easy way...I take the high road and say nothing to them.

Can't wait to be healthier - and lighter!

My shoulders and neck are SO freaking tense, as that's where i carry my stress like most people. I think once I get the surgery date I'm going to take off work the day before surgery and have a mani/pedi and massage.....I deserve it

I'll be using 5 days of vacation - then using Short term disability for the recovery period so i can still receive full pay, since I believe FLMA is NO PAY.....

I'm so obsessed about this surgery....can ya tell I'm a little excited!!!

      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.
